Various approximations of the total aggregate loss quantile function with application to operational risk
This paper investigates the mechanics of the empirical aggregate loss bootstrap distribution.
Simple models in finance: a mathematical analysis of the probabilistic recognition heuristic
In this paper, the authors present a general model of the recognition heuristic that assumes that objects’ recognition is random.
A gradient-boosting decision-tree approach for firm failure prediction: an empirical model evaluation of Chinese listed companies
In this paper, the authors employ a gradient-boosting decision-tree method to improve firm failure prediction and explain how to better analyze the relative importance of each financial variable.
Optimal execution of accelerated share repurchase contracts with fixed notional
This paper studies the pricing and optimal execution strategy of an accelerated share repurchase contract with a fixed notional.
On empirical likelihood option pricing
This paper investigates the application of the empirical likelihood method in the study of option pricing.
Optimal oil production under mean-reverting Lévy models with regime switching
This paper models the evolution of the oil price as a mean-reverting regime-switching jump–diffusion process.
Modeling impacts of stock jumps on real estate investment trust returns with application to value-at-risk
This paper aims to model the impact of extreme stock jumps on REIT returns.
Pricing and hedging options with rollover parameters
This paper consists of a “horse race” study comparing (i) a number of option pricing models, and (ii) roll-over estimation procedures.
Forecasting scenarios from the perspective of a reverse stress test using second-order cone programming
This paper proposes a model for forecasting scenarios from the perspective of a reverse stress test using interest rate, equity and foreign exchange data.
Does higher-frequency data always help to predict longer-horizon volatility?
This paper shows that realized conditional autocorrelation in return residuals is a strong predictor of the relative performance of different frequency models of volatility.
Goodness-of-fit for discrete-choice models of borrower default
This paper demonstrates that the rank-order tests are unreliable for assessing models to be used to predict probabilities.
Are the GIPS sovereign debt markets efficient during a crisis?
This paper aims to analyze the efficiency of the Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (ie, GIPS) sovereign debt markets during crises: in essence, the recent global financial and sovereign debt crises
Liquidity risk management implementation for selected Islamic banks in Pakistan
The purpose of this particular study is to determine if any liquidity risk exists in the Islamic banks of Pakistan and, if it does, what effect it has on the resilience of the industry in that country.
Time-varying beta and the global financial crisis: evidence from Chinese and Indian firms
This paper empirically investigates the effects of the global financial crisis of 2008 on the time-varying beta of twenty firms from China and India.
Basel III implementation outcome in Islamic banks
This paper presents an empirical analysis based on a survey of risk managers. Its goal to improve capital standards and its scientific treatment of risk ensures that Basel III is well regarded, specifically in the Islamic banking sector of Pakistan.
Default risk charge: modeling framework for the “Basel” risk measure
This paper presents a comprehensive model framework for DRC that is compliant with the revised Basel regulatory framework.
A new bootstrap test for multiple assets joint risk testing
In this paper, a novel simulation-based methodology is proposed to test the validity of a set of marginal time series models.
A review of the fundamentals of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book: standard foreign exchange rules are highly asymmetric with respect to reporting currencies
This paper develops a framework to fully characterize the invariance of the Delta capital charge for the FX book under a change in reporting currency.
Quantifying the diversity of news around stock market moves
In this paper, the authors use a topic-modeling approach to quantify the changing attentions of a major news outlet, the Financial Times, to issues of interest.
A network model for central counterparty liquidity risk stress testing under incomplete information
The authors put forth a realistic network model that maximizes the use of data available to a CCP in order to simulate credit default contagion.
The recent crises and central counterparty risk practices in the light of procyclicality: empirical evidence
This paper focuses on the risk practices of Central Counterparties in the light of their potentially procyclical features.
Nonstationarity of the intraday individual and collective seasonalities of price fluctuations
This paper deals with statistical measures based on high frequency data from stock markets, and in particular looks at how these measures changed according to time, with a focus on before and after the crisis of 2008.
