Study shows credit expansion in mortgage markets influenced U.S. business cycle.
Credit expansion led to stronger household leverage cycles during the U.S. business cycle.
Machine learning predicts US and EuroZone business cycles with high accuracy.
ML models predict stock prices poorly during recessions.
Are expansions and recessions more likely to end as their magnitude increases? In this paper we apply parametric hazard models to investigate this issue in a sample of 16 countries from 1881 to 2000. For the total sample we find evidence of positive magnitude dependence for recessions, while for expansions we are not a…
Labour productivity distribution (dispersion) is studied both theoretically and empirically. Superstatistics is presented as a natural theoretical framework for productivity. The demand index is proposed within this framework as a new business index. Japanese productivity data covering small-to-medium to large firm…
Paper assesses risks of stablecoins, from lending to business-to-business.
Large corporate credit models may be adapted for small business risk assessment.
Business Architecture (BA) plays a significant role in helping organizations understand enterprise structures and processes, and align them with strategic objectives. However, traditional BAs are represented in fixed structure with static model elements and fail to dynamically capture business insights based on interna…
Study evaluates sustainability of European banks using a new model.
Bayesian model uses mobile data to assess business resilience after hurricanes.
The biggest problem with the methods of machine learning used today in business analytics is that they do not generalize well and often fail when applied to new data. One of the possible approaches to this problem is to enrich these methods (which are almost exclusively based on statistical algorithms) with some intrin…
This study designs a financial risk control platform using big data and machine learning.
The analysis of the theoretical material revealed the lack of consensus on defini-tion of the tax stimulation of innovation-active business entities within the re-gional taxation. The definition tax stimulation of innovation-active business en-tities is specified.
Business taxonomies are indispensable tools for investors to do equity research and make professional decisions. However, to identify the structure of industry sectors in an emerging market is challenging for two reasons. First, existing taxonomies are designed for mature markets, which may not be the appropriate class…
Examines international taxation's impact on Georgian businesses.
CONDA-PM framework helps analyze concept drift in business processes.
The study uses CoDa to analyze family business financial ratios, highlighting methodological issues.
Study examines how business units can benefit from group cohesion under regulatory constraints.
This paper studies business cycle patterns in UK sectoral output. It analyzes the distinction between white noise processes and their non-white noise counterparts in the frequency domain and further examines the associated features and patterns for the process where white noise conditions are violated. The characterist…
Development of efficient business process models and determination of their characteristic properties are subject of intense interdisciplinary research. Here, we consider a business process model as a directed graph. Its nodes correspond to the units identified by the modeler and the link direction indicates the causal…
New approach optimizes sales process for B2B businesses.
The accurate characterization of the business cycles in the nonlinear dynamic financial and economic systems in the time of globalization represents a formidable research problem. The central banks and other financial institutions make their decisions on the minimum capital requirements, countercyclical capital buffer …
Business cycles affect startup valuations, both directly and indirectly.
We propose a dynamical model for business cycle based on an optimal DI model. In the model there exists a conserved quantity, which corresponds to the total energy in a dynamical system. We found that the business cycle with the period 6 or 7 years is nicely reproduced, since the model predicts a periodic motion in the…
Business cycles tend to comove across countries. However, standard models that attribute comovement to propagation of exogenous shocks struggle to generate a level of comovement that is as high as in the data. In this paper, we consider models that produce business cycles endogenously, through some form of non-linear d…
This paper provides a non-robust interpretation of the distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problem by relating the distributional uncertainties to the chance probabilities. Our analysis allows a decision-maker to interpret the size of the ambiguity set, which is often lack of business meaning, through the chance…
At the initial stages of this research, the assumption was that the franchised businesses perhaps should not be affected much by recession as there are multiple cash pools available inherent to the franchised business model. However, after analyzing the available data, it indicated otherwise, the stock price performanc…
The Prescriptive Canvas improves business outcomes by directly prescribing actions based on predictions.
The paper adds explanation to predictive process monitoring.
The paper explores how innovative financing solutions boost Moroccan businesses' performance.
Private business schools in India face a common problem of selecting quality students for their MBA programs to achieve the desired placement percentage. Generally, such data sets are biased towards one class, i.e., imbalanced in nature. And learning from the imbalanced dataset is a difficult proposition. This paper pr…
We have created a framework for analyzing subscription based businesses in terms of a unified metric which we call SCV (single customer value). The major advance in this paper is to model customer churn as an exponential decay variable, which directly follows from experimental data relating to subscription based busine…
This paper introduces TDA and TSI for better business analytics.
A microscopic model of aggregation and fragmentation is introduced to investigate the size distribution of businesses. In the model, businesses are constrained to comply with the market price, as expected by the customers, while customers can only buy at the prices offered by the businesses. We show numerically and ana…
Predicting business process behaviour is an important aspect of business process management. Motivated by research in natural language processing, this paper describes an application of deep learning with recurrent neural networks to the problem of predicting the next event in a business process. This is both a novel m…
Develops a Bayesian model to predict business revenue and demand.
New risk theory for 'Pay-for-Performance' models.
This contribution is concerned with price optimisation of the new business for a non-life product. Due to high competition in the insurance market, non-life insurers are interested in increasing their conversion rates on new business based on some profit level. In this respect, we consider the competition in the market…
We study a model of a corporation which has the possibility to choose various production/business policies with different expected profits and risks. In the model there are restrictions on the dividend distribution rates as well as restrictions on the risk the company can undertake. The objective is to maximize the exp…
Paper proposes transparent insurance models for PBMs.
Graph neural networks detect anomalies in object-centric business processes.
This paper suggests that business cycles may be a manifestation of coupled real economy and stock market dynamics and describes a mechanism that can generate economic fluctuations consistent with observed business cycles. To this end, we seek to incorporate into the macroeconomic framework a dynamic stock market model …
We evaluate how modern outlier detection methods perform in identifying outliers in e-commerce conversion rate data. Based on the limitations identified, we then present a novel method to detect outliers in e-commerce conversion rate. This unsupervised method is made more business relevant by letting it automatically a…
New method improves prediction accuracy in business process mining by handling concept drift.
Paper proposes a new method for learning business process representations.
Emerging economies frequently show a large component of their Gross Domestic Product to be dependant on the economic activity of small and medium enterprises. Nevertheless, e-business solutions are more likely designed for large companies. SMEs seem to follow a classical family-based management, used to traditional act…
