This is unfortunate, as structural models have clear connections to theory and permit direct tests of hypotheses and exploration of potential causal mechanisms. In this paper, we derive and estimate a structural model of decision making in the presence of natural hazard risk. Utilizing a unique data set that includes information on risk preferences, subjective likelihood of hurricane strike, and expectations of damage, we estimate several variants of a subjective expected utility model for coastal households’ decisions to purchase flood insurance. We benchmark our model’s out of sample accuracy by comparing it against both reduced-form and machine learning estimates. Overall, we find our structural models perform about as well as a reduced-form probit model in predicting out of sample behavior, but offer increased external validity and insight into theory and mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115322689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2019). An agent solves a stochastic control problem where the underlying uncertainty follows a jump-diffusion process and the agent does not know the drift parameters of the process. The agent considers a set of alternative measures to make the control problem robust to model misspecification and employs a continuous-time estimator to learn the value of the unknown parameters to make the control problem adaptive to the arrival of new information. We use measurable selection theorems to prove the dynamic programming principle of the adaptive robust problem and show that the value function of the agent is characterised by a non-linear partial differential equation. As an example, we derive in closed-form the optimal adaptive robust strategy for an agent who acquires a large number of shares in an order-driven market and illustrates the financial performance of the execution strategy.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129439630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the valuation, we use a risk-neutral present value model with expected payments for risk-neutral investors and risk-free spot rates. The required risk-neutral default probabilities are derived from historically observable risk-averse migration matrices. Based on this debt valuation, we calculate various key figures for the analysis of risky debt from the point of view of risk-averse investors (e.g., promised and expected yields, yield spreads, Z-spreads, risk premia, risk-averse default probabilities, and risk-averse expected payments). Our approach is well-suited for practical applications, since the parameters required are easily available from observable data.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114282663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our strategy relies on suitable generalizations of the Realized GARCH model by Hansen et al.

This feature allows assigning more weight to lagged volatilities when they are more accurately measured. The merits of the proposed specifications are assessed by means of an application to the prediction of Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for a set of stock market indices. The results of the empirical analysis show that the proposed specifications are able to outperform standard Realized GARCH models in VaR and ES forecasting.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132055481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We can thus combine univariate realized volatility models with a recently introduced class of score-driven realized covariance models based on Wishart and matrix-F distributions. The proposed models are computationally simple to estimate in high dimensions and allow complete flexibility in the choice of the univariate specification. Through a Monte-Carlo study, we show that the two-step maximum likelihood procedure provides accurate parameter estimates in small samples. Empirically, we find that the proposed models outperform joint estimations, with forecasting gains that become more significant as dimension increases.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125026730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use a set of machine learning techniques to detect the buildup in the articles of negative propaganda against the protesters, and the method generates a daily mapping between the current date in the Hong Kong protest timeline and the “as if” date in the Tiananmen protest timeline.

For time-sensitive features, we constructed features with historic information. Besides, we extracted information about deleting and adding order book to construct features on it. For cointegration, we applied linear regression, online regression and Kalman filter to both the treasury data and the corresponding futures data to construct cash and futures cointegration features separately. Then, we predicted the fair-price for each quote given each single feature and combination of features. At last, we designed two smart algorithms to trade 30 Year Treasury Bond given the predicted fair-price. We found that combination features from different groups can help to reduce transaction cost by 95% compared with one tick-size.

A New Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System Under Dynamic Environment: Application to Financial Investment 动态环境下一种新的区间2型模糊逻辑系统:在金融投资中的应用

Particularly, our state-space approach regards the parameters of IT2 FLSs as state variables to sequentially learn by Bayesian filtering algorithms under dynamic environments, where time-series data are continuously observed with occasional structural changes. Moreover, our proposal is effective for financial investment, which often involves various practical complex constraints, because general state-space model makes it possible to flexibly deal with non-linearities. In our empirical experiment with time-series data of global financial assets, our approach is applied to on-line parameter learning of type-1 and type-2 FLSs for portfolio decision making. As a result, it is shown that the IT2 FLS holds its advantage against the type-1 FLS, even though both of the type-1 and type-2 models have the adaptive time-varying parameters, which is an unexplored topic for empirical studies of this area.","PeriodicalId":239853,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Econometrics: Econometric & Statistical Methods - Special Topics (Topic)","volume":"80 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128132742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Density Forecast Combinations: The Real-Time Dimension 密度预测组合:实时维度

{"title":"Density Forecast Combinations: The Real-Time Dimension","authors":"P. Mcadam, A. Warne","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3544060","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3544060","url":null,"abstract":"Density forecast combinations are examined in real-time using the log score to compare five methods: fixed weights, static and dynamic prediction pools, as well as Bayesian and dynamic model averaging. Since real-time data involves one vintage per time period and are subject to revisions, the chosen actuals for such comparisons typically differ from the information that can be used to compute model weights. The terms observation lag and information lag are introduced to clarify the different time shifts involved for these computations and we discuss how they influence the combination methods. We also introduce upper and lower bounds for the density forecasts, allowing us to benchmark the combination methods. The empirical study employs three DSGE models and two BVARs, where the former are variants of the Smets and Wouters model and the latter are benchmarks. The models are estimated on real-time euro area data and the forecasts cover 2001–2014, focusing on inflation and output growth. We find that some combinations are superior to the individual models for the joint and the output forecasts, mainly due to over-confident forecasts of the BVARs during the Great Recession. Combinations with limited weight variation over time and with positive weights on all models provide better forecasts than those with greater weight variation. For the inflation forecasts, the DSGE models are better overall than the BVARs and the combination methods.
