In this paper we introduce a novel approach to risk estimation based on nonlinear factor models - the "StressVaR" (SVaR). Developed to evaluate the risk of hedge funds, the SVaR appears to be applicable to a wide range of investments. Its principle is to use the fairly short and sparse history of the hedge fund returns…
The paper aims to explore the impacts of bi-demographic structure on the current account and growth. Using a SVAR modeling, we track the dynamic impacts between these underlying variables. New insights have been developed about the dynamic interrelation between population growth, current account and economic growth. Th…

New method for estimating and testing impulse responses in high-dimensional VAR systems.
problem Statistical inference for impulse responses in sparse, high-dimensional vector autoregressions.
method Local projection equations and de-sparsified estimators combined with a non-regularized contemporaneous impact matrix.
result Valid inference procedures for structural impulse responses in high-dimensional systems.
Geopolitical and geoeconomic shocks affect sovereign risk differently, with distinct transmission channels.
problem Understanding how geopolitical and geoeconomic shocks impact sovereign credit risk.
method Daily panel data of 42 economies over 2018-2025; semistructural framework; Shapley-Taylor decomposition; machine learning predictions; placebo and sign-restricted SVAR evidence.
result Geopolitical shocks primarily increase sovereign credit spreads through direct repricing, while geoeconomic shocks mainly affect spreads through financial conditions and policy uncertainty.
PolyModel theory and iTransformer improve hedge fund portfolio construction.
problem Sparse financial time series data makes portfolio construction challenging.
method Identify asset pool, select risk factors, create quantitative and classical measures, and use iTransformer for trend capture.
result Improved Sharpe ratio and annualized return compared to benchmarks.
Study assesses impact of CBDC on financial stability in dual-currency economy.
problem Impact of CBDC on financial stability in dual-currency economy (Romania).
method Integrated analytical framework combining econometrics, machine learning, and behavioural modelling. CBDC adoption probabilities estimated using XGBoost and logistic regression models. Liquidity stress simulations and VAR, MSVAR, SVAR models capture macro-financial transmission.
result CBDC uptake would be moderate, primarily driven by digital readiness and trust in the central bank.
