Deep Learning in Asset Pricingq-fin.ST
We use deep neural networks to estimate an asset pricing model for individual stock returns that takes advantage of the vast amount of conditioning information, while keeping a fully flexible form and accounting for time-variation. The key innovations are to use the fundamental no-arbitrage condition as criterion funct…
New framework tests mean-variance spanning in high dimensions.
problem Testing mean-variance spanning in high-dimensional asset spaces.
method Robust Student-t statistic based on batch-mean method, combined using Cauchy combination test.
result Advantages of diversification vary by economic conditions and cross-country.
Neural networks improve VaR estimation accuracy and robustness.
problem Estimating Value at Risk (VaR) in financial markets.
method Generative regime switching framework with Monte-Carlo simulations, neural networks initialized via best model, balanced incentive function, reduced training data.
result Neural networks outperform traditional methods in VaR estimation, especially with less data.
