New method optimizes share buyback contracts without optimal control's limitations.
This paper aims to explore the mechanical effect of a company's share repurchase on earnings per share (EPS). In particular, while a share repurchase scheme will reduce the overall number of shares, suggesting that the EPS may increase, clearly the expenditure will reduce the net earnings of a company, introducing a tr…
When firms want to buy back their own shares, they have a choice between several alternatives. If they often carry out open market repurchase, they also increasingly rely on banks through complex buyback contracts involving option components, e.g. accelerated share repurchase contracts, VWAP-minus profit-sharing contra…
Develops a machine-learning framework for optimal share repurchase hedging.
LEMs extend transformer-based architectures for complex execution problems.
We argue that an important contributing factor into market inefficiency is the lack of a robust mechanism for the stock price to rise if a company has good earnings, e.g., via buybacks/dividends. Instead, the stock price is prone to volatility due to rather random perception/interpretation of earnings announcements (am…
We describe and document three mechanisms by which corporations can influence or even control stock prices. (i) Parent and holding companies wield control over other publicly traded companies. (ii) Through clever management of treasury stock based on buyback programs and stock issuance, stock price fluctuations can be …
A framework for anonymized risk sharing without revealing identities or preferences.
The paper optimizes risk-sharing in decentralized networks.
Boosts share routing for multi-task learning with flexible sparse connections.
Paper finds a method to compute fair risk-sharing rules.
New risk-sharing rules induced by capital allocation principles.
The paper defines fair profit sharing ratios in Islamic PL contracts.
We statistically investigate the distribution of share price and the distributions of three common financial indicators using data from approximately 8,000 companies publicly listed worldwide for the period 2004-2013. We find that the distribution of share price follows Zipf's law; that is, it can be approximated by a …
Through a short sale, a person borrows a share of stock from a lender, sells the borrowed share to a third person at the current price, and purchases an identical share in the market at a future date and at a future price to replace the borrowed share of stock. This only makes sense if the short seller anticipates a do…
This paper analyzes stock market data to predict share prices using regression models.
Algorithm learns which weights to share in deep multi-task learning.
There is a growing interest in joint multi-subject fMRI analysis. The challenge of such analysis comes from inherent anatomical and functional variability across subjects. One approach to resolving this is a shared response factor model. This assumes a shared and time synchronized stimulus across subjects. Such a model…
Model improves covariance estimation from shared and distinct datasets.
The large majority of risk-sharing transactions involve few agents, each of whom can heavily influence the structure and the prices of securities. This paper proposes a game where agents' strategic sets consist of all possible sharing securities and pricing kernels that are consistent with Arrow-Debreu sharing rules. F…
Developed a new algorithm to improve dynamic treatment regimens.
The aim of this study is to investigate quantitatively whether share prices deviated from company fundamentals in the stock market crash of 2008. For this purpose, we use a large database containing the balance sheets and share prices of 7,796 worldwide companies for the period 2004 through 2013. We develop a panel reg…
HCL learns shared and modality-specific latent representations for multimodal data.
Researchers develop a method to measure treatment effects in settings with shared states.
Existing deep multitask learning (MTL) approaches align layers shared between tasks in a parallel ordering. Such an organization significantly constricts the types of shared structure that can be learned. The necessity of parallel ordering for deep MTL is first tested by comparing it with permuted ordering of shared la…
The paper studies an oligopolistic equilibrium model of financial agents who aim to share their random endowments. The risk-sharing securities and their prices are endogenously determined as the outcome of a strategic game played among all the participating agents. In the complete-market setting, each agent's set of st…
This work formalizes and extends parameter sharing in multi-agent reinforcement learning.
With the success of deep neural networks, Neural Architecture Search (NAS) as a way of automatic model design has attracted wide attention. As training every child model from scratch is very time-consuming, recent works leverage weight-sharing to speed up the model evaluation procedure. These approaches greatly reduce …
Bayesian interpretations of neural network have a long history, dating back to early work in the 1990's and have recently regained attention because of their desirable properties like uncertainty estimation, model robustness and regularisation. We want to discuss here the application of Bayesian models to knowledge sha…
We study the problem of distributed multi-task learning with shared representation, where each machine aims to learn a separate, but related, task in an unknown shared low-dimensional subspaces, i.e. when the predictor matrix has low rank. We consider a setting where each task is handled by a different machine, with sa…
New method identifies shared components from unpaired multimodal mixtures.
PerPCA separates unique and shared features from heterogeneous data.
Improves shared encoder representations for better multi-task learning performance.
Margin trading in which investors purchase shares with money borrowed from brokers is blamed to be a major cause of the 2015 Chinese stock market crash. We propose a cascading failure model and examine how an increase in margin trading increases share price vulnerability. The model is based on a bipartite graph of inve…
The paper explores unique properties of Kähler manifolds without shared CR-submanifolds.
Share prices of financial companies from the S&P 500 list have been modeled by a linear function of consumer price indices in the USA. The Johansen and Engle-Granger tests for cointegration both demonstrated the presence of an equilibrium long-term relation between observed and predicted time series. Econometrically, t…
A new framework forecasts stock trends by mining shared information from concepts.
A mechanism to share risks and costs with guarantees against extreme outcomes.
Mobile edge learning is an emerging technique that enables distributed edge devices to collaborate in training shared machine learning models by exploiting their local data samples and communication and computation resources. To deal with the straggler dilemma issue faced in this technique, this paper proposes a new de…
Paper provides new bounds for risk aggregation and sharing.
Weight-sharing (WS) has recently emerged as a paradigm to accelerate the automated search for efficient neural architectures, a process dubbed Neural Architecture Search (NAS). Although very appealing, this framework is not without drawbacks and several works have started to question its capabilities on small hand-craf…
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are commonly applied to clinical time-series data with the goal of learning patient risk stratification models. Their effectiveness is due, in part, to their use of parameter sharing over time (i.e., cells are repeated hence the name recurrent). We hypothesize, however, that this trait …
New model extracts shared brain activity patterns from fMRI data.
We build a multiassets heterogeneous agents model with fundamentalists and chartists, who make investment decisions by maximizing the constant relative risk aversion utility function. We verify that the model can reproduce the main stylized facts in real markets, such as fat-tailed return distribution and long-term mem…
