By contrast, applying this Bayesian sampling approach on a simple model such as Tobit cannot capture the bi-modal LGD distributions accurately. Finally, we argue that this Bayesian sampling approach to generate LGD distributions is better fit for the stress testing purpose than the typical approach to estimate LGD model coefficients and then stress the macro variables.

Firstly, it covers featured vocabulary that compensates for missing information; secondly, it reduces misclassification of words’ sentiments; moreover, it mitigates the problem of equal weighting inherent in the bag-of-words method. Our findings indicate that the featured vocabulary neglected in the bag-of-words method plays a crucial role in text analysis and significantly contributes to bond pricing.

We propose a method to Detect Influencers in Network AutoRegressive models (DINAR) via sparse-group regularization to detect regions influencing others across borders. For a granular analysis, we analyse whether the transaction size plays a role in the dynamics of the cross-border transactions in the network. With two-layer sparsity, DINAR enables discovering (1) the active regions with influential impact on the global digital money network and (2) whether changes in the size of the transaction affect the dynamic evolution of Bitcoin transactions. In the analysis of real data of the Bitcoin blockchain from Feb 2012 to December 2021, we find that influence from certain regions is linked to the economic need to use BTC, such as to circumvent sanctions, avoid high inflation, and to carry out transactions through off-shore markets.

Next, the GRACE method learns the conditional variance, skewness, and kurtosis of stock returns from the learned conditional quantiles via the quantiled conditional moment method. Finally, the GRACE method uses the learned conditional mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis to construct several performance measures, which are criteria to sort the stocks to proceed the portfolio selection in the well-known 10-decile framework.
