We study the optimal timing strategies for trading a mean-reverting price process with afinite deadline to enter and a separate finite deadline to exit the market. The price process is modeled by a diffusion with an affine drift that encapsulates a number of well-known models,including the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) model…

It is suggested to consider long term trends of financial markets as a growth phenomenon. The question that is asked is what conditions are needed for a long term sustainable growth or contraction in a financial market? The paper discuss the role of traditional market players of long only mutual funds versus hedge fund…

We show that the efficient frontier for a portfolio in which short positions precisely offset the long ones is composed of a pair of straight lines through the origin of the risk-return plane. This unique but important case has been overlooked because the original formulation of the mean-variance model by Markowitz as …

The definition of deposit substitutes in Philippine tax law fails to consider the maturity of a debt instrument. This makes it possible for long-term bonds to be considered as deposit substitutes if they meet the 20-lender rule, taxable at 20% final tax. However, long-term debt instruments cannot realistically function…

This paper uses DRL for long-short portfolio optimization, improving risk-adjusted returns.

problem Traditional portfolio optimization limits diversification by excluding short-selling.
method Developed a DRL framework with a short-selling mechanism for continuous trading.
result DRL model with short-selling achieves superior risk-adjusted returns.

Method for factor analysis in short panels without assuming sphericity or Gaussianity.

problem Factor analysis in short panels without assuming sphericity or Gaussianity.
method Pseudo maximum likelihood method and asymptotically uniformly most powerful invariant test.
result Systematic risk explains a large part of cross-sectional total variance in bear markets but is not spanned by observed factors.

New method fuses optical and SAR data to fill LAI gaps during cloudy periods.

problem Cloudy periods mask key crop growth stages, leading to unreliable yield predictions.
method Multi-Output Gaussian Process (MOGP) regression for fusing Sentinel-1 RVI and Sentinel-2 LAI time series.
result MOGP provides improved LAI estimations even during cloudy periods, especially for long gaps.

Study investigates deep learning for scalable long-term traffic predictions in large transport networks.

problem Scalable long-term traffic predictions in large transport networks.
method Investigated deep learning models for link-based predictions, including clustering and graph convolutional approaches.
result Deep learning models can be useful for long-term large-scale traffic prediction, but simpler predictors are satisfactory for short-term forecasting.

WaveLSFormer learns profitable trading policies from financial time series data.

problem Challenges in learning profitable intraday trading policies from financial time series data.
method WaveLSFormer uses a learnable wavelet-based long-short Transformer to jointly perform multi-scale decomposition and return-oriented decision learning.
result WaveLSFormer consistently outperforms MLP, LSTM, and Transformer backbones in trading performance.

A model-free hedging method using stock crowding scores.

problem Designing costless portfolio strategies to hedge market risk.
method Network analysis of fund holdings to compute crowding scores, constructing long-short portfolios without numerical optimization.
result Long-short portfolios provide protection against both small and large market price fluctuations.

Study examines liquidation, leverage, and optimal margin requirements in Bitcoin futures markets.

problem Understanding and optimizing margin requirements in Bitcoin futures markets.
method Empirical analysis using generalized extreme value theory and BitMEX data.
result Margin requirements need to be significantly higher to reduce daily margin calls.

We present a generalization of the Simultaneous Long-Short (SLS) trading strategy described in recent control literature wherein we allow for different parameters across the short and long sides of the controller; we refer to this new strategy as Generalized SLS (GSLS). Furthermore, we investigate the conditions under …

Behavioral theories posit that investor sentiment exhibits predictive power for stock returns, whereas there is little study have investigated the relationship between the time horizon of the predictive effect of investor sentiment and the firm characteristics. To this end, by using a Granger causality analysis in the …
