Stock correlations is crucial to asset pricing, investor decision-making, and financial risk regulations. However, microscopic explanation based on agent-based modeling is still lacking. We here propose a model derived from minority game for modeling stock correlations, in which an agent's expected return for one stock…

In an asset return series there is a conditional asymmetric dependence between current return and past volatility depending on the current return's sign. To take into account the conditional asymmetry, we introduce new models for asset return dynamics in which frequencies of the up and down movements of asset price hav…

This paper builds a model of high-frequency equity returns by separately modeling the dynamics of trade-time returns and trade arrivals. Our main contributions are threefold. First, we characterize the distributional behavior of high-frequency asset returns both in ordinary clock time and in trade time. We show that wh…

Funds inflate their returns due to price pressure, leading to wealth reallocation and market crashes.

problem Funds inflate their returns due to price pressure, leading to wealth reallocation and market crashes.
method Decomposed fund returns into price pressure and fundamental components, and identified the impact of price chasing on fund flows.
result Funds' self-inflated returns lead to wealth reallocation and market crashes, and can be predicted by fund illiquidity.

FLAIR measures LP competitiveness in AMMs, improving LP performance evaluations.

problem LP returns are affected by both market risk and competitive strategies.
method Introduces FLAIR metric to quantify LP competitiveness and assesses its impact on LP returns.
result FLAIR captures dynamic behavior of LPs and differentiates between active provisioning strategies.

Modeling financial returns as conditionally independent random variables explains power-law tails.

problem Understanding the distribution of financial returns and their relation to volatility.
method Assuming returns are conditionally independent given volatility, which varies randomly over time.
result Returns distribution can be described by the sum of conditionally independent random variables, showing scaling and power-law tails.

Stock prices are known to exhibit non-Gaussian dynamics, and there is much interest in understanding the origin of this behavior. Here, we present a model that explains the shape and scaling of the distribution of intraday stock price fluctuations (called intraday returns) and verify the model using a large database fo…

Machine learning improves portfolio allocation between index and risk-free assets.

problem Finding optimal portfolio rules for time-varying returns and volatility.
method Two Random Forest models: one for sign probabilities of excess return, the other for optimized volatility.
result Substantial improvements in utility, risk-adjusted returns, and maximum drawdowns over buy-and-hold.

Model approximates market prices and returns without prior market dynamics.

problem Simultaneously approximate market prices and log returns.
method GDN model of Kratsios and Papon (2022) for generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
result Universal approximation guarantees for conditional distributions and contingent claims.

In this paper we provide compelling evidence of cyclical mean reversion and multiperiod stock return predictability over horizons of about 30 years with a half-life of about 15 years. This implies that the US stock market follows a long-term rhythm where a period of above average returns tends to be followed by a perio…

Study shows negative stock returns after Moroccan companies issue profit warnings.

problem Impact of profit warnings on stock returns in Moroccan market.
method Event study methodology, analyzing Casablanca Stock Exchange, 2009-2016.
result Negative average abnormal return after profit warning announcements, greater for qualitative than quantitative warnings.

This paper applies quantum probability theory to model asset returns, avoiding assumptions about quantum effects.

problem Modeling asset returns with classical probability theory.
method Derives a Schrödinger-like trading equation using quantum probability, linking it to traders' decisions and market behaviors.
result Quantum probability can describe multimodal distributions of asset returns without assuming quantum effects.

We consider the tail probabilities of stock returns for a general class of stochastic volatility models. In these models, the stochastic differential equation for volatility is autonomous, time-homogeneous and dependent on only a finite number of dimensional parameters. Three bounds on the high-volatility limits of the…
