Cryptocurrency markets show higher spreads during extreme fear and greed phases.

problem Understanding and predicting liquidity withdrawal in cryptocurrency markets.
method Analysis of Crypto Fear & Greed Index and Bitcoin daily data.
result Extreme fear and greed regimes exhibit significantly higher spreads than neutral periods.

We study an economic model where agents trade a variety of products by using one of three competing rules: "need", "greed" and "noise". We find that the optimal strategy for any agent depends on both product composition in the overall market and composition of strategies in the market. In particular, a strategy that do…

Study uses AI to simulate stock market behavior, revealing how trader psychology affects market stability.

problem Understanding how trader psychology impacts stock market stability at the mesoscale.
method Developed a multi-agent system with reinforcement learning, incorporating trader psychology traits.
result Agents with traits of delay discounting and greed lead to more stable markets.

In retail, there are predictable yet dramatic time-dependent patterns in customer behavior, such as periodic changes in the number of visitors, or increases in customers just before major holidays. The current paradigm of multi-armed bandit analysis does not take these known patterns into account. This means that for a…

Estimates crypto risk premia using hidden factors and finds significant integration with traditional markets.

problem Estimating risk premia in cryptocurrency returns.
method Giglio-Xiu (2021) three-pass approach, controlling for latent factors and non-tradable state variables.
result Latent factors significantly impact crypto returns, highlighting the importance of controlling for unobserved risks.

The paper integrates behavioral finance into asset pricing using subordinated models.

problem Modeling asset returns considering investor behavior and psychological factors.
method Employing subordination to incorporate investor behavior in dynamic asset pricing theory, introducing a mixed Levy subordinated model.
result Option traders overweight the probability of big losses compared to spot traders, showing diminishing sensitivity.

The paper integrates behavioral distortions into portfolio optimization using implied probability weighting functions.

problem Behavioral distortions in probability weighting affect portfolio optimization under different return distributions.
method Developed a unified framework to extract probability weighting functions from optimal portfolios modeled under Gaussian and NIG distributions.
result Increasing tail fatness amplifies behavioral distortions, and shifts in risk-free rates alter the curvature of these distortions.

We present a new recommendation setting for picking out two items from a given set to be highlighted to a user, based on contextual input. These two items are presented to a user who chooses one of them, possibly stochastically, with a bias that favours the item with the higher value. We propose a second-order algorith…

New greedy algorithms improve Bayesian optimisation performance.

problem Optimizing continuous functions with exploration vs exploitation trade-offs.
method Introduced two novel ε-greedy acquisition functions and compared them with conventional methods.
result ε-greedy algorithms generally outperform conventional methods, especially in higher dimensions.

Neural network tackles continual learning with neuromodulation and local error signals.

problem Catastrophic forgetting in continuous learning.
method Biologically-inspired neural architecture with local learning and neuromodulation, combined with transfer metalearning.
result Superior performance in continual learning tasks compared to other approaches.

Crypto simulations show HODL strategy loads risk onto most investors, with macro-sentiment affecting returns.

problem Understanding real risk-return trade-offs and factors affecting crypto returns.
method Two independent analyses: 480 million Monte Carlo simulations and Bayesian multi-horizon local projection framework.
result HODL strategy exposes most investors to extreme downside risk, and macro-sentiment conditions are dominant indicators for future outcomes.
