The document discusses probabilistic demand forecasting using a probabilistic approach rather than a single forecast value. It involves 4 steps: 1) determining multiple forecasting models, 2) determining the probability distributions of the models' parameters, 3) determining the probability distribution of the models' outputs, and 4) determining the final probability distribution of future values by combining all models. This allows producing a range of possible outcomes and their probabilities rather than a single prediction.
This document provides an outline for a course on applied forecasting. It begins with a brief history of forecasting, covering the rise of stochastic models from the 1950s onward and their advantages over previous subjective approaches. It then discusses types of data commonly used in forecasting, including time series and cross-sectional data. It outlines different forecasting models including time series models, cross-sectional models, and mixed models. It provides four case studies as examples. It also discusses the statistical perspective on forecasting, including point and interval forecasts. It concludes by introducing the R programming language.

High Dimensional Quasi Monte Carlo Method in FinanceMarco Bianchetti
Monte Carlo simulation in finance has been traditionally focused on pricing derivatives. Actually nowadays market and counterparty risk measures, based on multi-dimensional multi-step Monte Carlo simulation, are very important tools for managing risk, both on the front office side (sensitivities, CVA) and on the risk management side (estimating risk and capital allocation). Furthermore, they are typically required for internal models and validated by regulators.
The daily production of prices and risk measures for large portfolios with multiple counterparties is a computationally intensive task, which requires a complex framework and an industrial approach. It is a typical high budget, high effort project in banks.
In this presentation we focus on the Monte Carlo simulation, showing that, despite some common wisdom, Quasi Monte Carlo techniques can be applied, under appropriate conditions, to successfully improve price and risk figures and to reduce the computational effort.
This work includes and extends our paper M. Bianchetti, S. Kucherenko and S. Scoleri, “Pricing and Risk Management with High-Dimensional Quasi Monte Carlo and Global Sensitivity Analysis”, Wilmott Journal, July 2015 (also available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2592753).
MATLAB provides tools for modeling financial risk using copulas. Copulas allow modeling of joint distributions and tail dependence between risks that are not captured by correlations alone. The document discusses using copulas to aggregate risks across business lines for banks, model equity portfolios and credit risk, price derivatives, and model relationships in insurance. It summarizes MATLAB functions for fitting common copula models like Gaussian, Student's t, and Clayton copulas to data and generating random vectors from these models. An example models joint extreme moves in stock returns using different copula models and compares results to historical data.
The document presents a model for estimating exposure at default (EAD) for contingent credit lines (CCLs) at the portfolio level. It models each CCL as a portfolio of put options, with the exercise of each put following a Poisson process. The model convolutes the usage distributions of individual obligors, sub-segments, and segments to estimate the portfolio-level EAD distribution. The authors test the model using data from Moody's and find near-Gaussian results. They discuss future work to refine the model and make it more practical for banks to estimate regulatory capital requirements.
This paper investigates if forecasting models based on Machine Learning (ML) Algorithms are capable to predict intraday prices in the small, frontier stock market of Romania. The results show that this is indeed the case. Moreover, the prediction accuracy of the various models improves as the forecasting horizon increases. Overall, ML forecasting models are superior to the passive buy and hold strategy, as well as to a naïve strategy that always predicts the last known price action will continue. However, we also show that this superior predictive ability cannot be converted into “abnormal”, economically significant profits after considering transaction costs. This implies that intraday stock prices incorporate information within the accepted bounds of weak-form market efficiency, and cannot be “timed” even by sophisticated investors equipped with state of the art ML prediction models.
Scenario generation and stochastic programming models for asset liabiltiy man...Nicha Tatsaneeyapan
This document discusses scenario generation methods for asset liability management models. It proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming model for a Dutch pension fund to determine optimal investment policies. Two methods for generating scenarios are explored: randomly sampled event trees and event trees that fit the mean and covariance of returns. Rolling horizon simulations are used to compare the performance of the stochastic programming approach to a fixed mix model. The results show that appropriately generated scenarios can significantly improve the performance of the stochastic programming model relative to the fixed mix benchmark.
Conditional probabilities for euro area sovereign default risk - Andre Lucas,...SYRTO Project
This document presents a novel framework for modeling conditional and joint probabilities of sovereign default risk in the Euro area based on credit default swap data. The model uses a dynamic multivariate skewed-t distribution with time-varying volatility and correlations. The analysis finds that while large-scale asset purchase programs by central banks reduced joint default risks, they did not significantly impact perceived interconnectedness between countries.

This document summarizes a paper on modeling default correlation using copula functions. It discusses:
1) How credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations securitize and trade default risk.
2) Two approaches for modeling individual and joint default probabilities - the Li model uses hazard rate functions and a Gaussian copula.
3) Simulations test the Gaussian and Student copulas and find small differences, but the hazard rate function has a bigger impact on results than the copula.
4) The Li model is criticized for unrealistic assumptions, inability to model extreme events, and circular reasoning in using CDS-priced data. While simple, it fails to capture important features of default correlation.
This document discusses combining macroeconomic factors (F-atoms) and asset-specific risks (A-atoms) for portfolio construction and investment opportunities. It presents ANIMA SGR's quantitative research on developing global and local macro factor exposures (F-atoms) across different geographies and analyzing over 100 asset sensitivities. The goal is to navigate uncertain market conditions by taking robust exposure to macro themes and hedging against specific risks through a granular understanding of asset correlations to macro dynamics.

This document summarizes a paper on modeling default correlation using copula functions. It discusses:
1) How credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations securitize and trade default risk.
2) Two approaches for modeling individual and joint default probabilities - the Li model uses hazard rate functions and a Gaussian copula.
3) Simulations test the Gaussian and Student copulas and find small differences, but the hazard rate function has a bigger impact on results than the copula.
4) The Li model is criticized for unrealistic assumptions, inability to model extreme events, and circular reasoning in using CDS-priced data. While simple, it fails to capture important features of default correlation.
This document discusses combining macroeconomic factors (F-atoms) and asset-specific risks (A-atoms) for portfolio construction and investment opportunities. It presents ANIMA SGR's quantitative research on developing global and local macro factor exposures (F-atoms) across different geographies and analyzing over 100 asset sensitivities. The goal is to navigate uncertain market conditions by taking robust exposure to macro themes and hedging against specific risks through a granular understanding of asset correlations to macro dynamics.

This document discusses anomaly and fraud detection using machine learning. It outlines different applications of anomaly detection such as cybersecurity and fraud detection. It compares supervised versus unsupervised learning approaches for financial sector applications. Specific algorithms discussed for unsupervised anomaly detection include isolation forest, DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, local outlier factor, and Gaussian mixture models.
The document analyzes the decline of the Italian company Saras S.p.A. It begins with an overview of the company and analysis of its stock performance from 2007-2012, noting a decline coinciding with the 2008 financial crisis. It then performs a change point analysis that identifies a reduction in stock volatility in January 2012 following announcements denying rumors of delisting. The document next discusses option valuation models, focusing on the Black-Scholes model for pricing European stock options under assumptions such as stock prices following a continuous random process.

The document describes a dynamic factor model to analyze how financial risks are interconnected within the Eurozone. It uses the model to examine risk dynamics using sovereign CDS and equity returns from 2007-2009 covering the US financial crisis and pre-sovereign crisis in Europe. The model relates asset returns to latent sector factors, macro factors, and covariates. Bayesian inference is applied using MCMC to estimate the time-varying parameters and latent factors.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

loadings. L may consist of dummy variables that specify sectors and countries. The latent variable
ft ∈ RK
follows the MSV model, i.e.
ft ∼ N (0, Σt )

The model
use of balance sheets and market data of bank stocks of the European index
calculate financial ratios and estimate the debt of the bank
Use the multivariate stochastic volatility model above
Estimate the probability that the Asset value is smaller than the debt
