https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvaro-cartea/Really excited to share this work with Bruno Dupire on functional expansions. Bonne lecture! Abstract: Path dependence is omnipresent in social science, engineering, and finance. It reflects the influence of the past on the future, often expressed through functionals. However, non-Markovian problems are often infinite-dimensional, thus challenging from a conceptual and computational perspective. In this work, we shed light on expansions of functionals. First, we treat static expansions made around paths of fixed length and propose a generalization of the Wiener series−the intrinsic value expansion (IVE). In the dynamic case, we revisit the functional Taylor expansion (FTE). The latter connects the functional Itô calculus with the signature to quantify the effect in a functional when a "perturbation" path is concatenated with the source path. In particular, the FTE elegantly separates the functional from future trajectories. The notions of real analyticity and radius of convergence are also extended to the path space. We discuss other dynamic expansions arising from Hilbert projections and the Wiener chaos, and finally show financial applications of the FTE to the pricing and hedging of exotic contingent claims.#quantitativefinance #mathematics

https://www.linkedin.com/in/markus-leippold-578bb95/As an #NLP and #AI enthusiast, I am always eager to learn about the latest developments in large language models (#LLM) like #chatgpt. I already interviewed #GPT3 (#davinci-002) about #climatechange last September. Now #openaccess at #Finance Research Letters: https://lnkd.in/eMGC-aXQ But we must remember what exactly these models do and how they work. Sometimes, it reminds me of my time as a student before the big exams, when we had to memorize tons of material (admittedly) without having the time to understand everything. I guess it's kind of like that with LLMs. Also, certain classification tasks can't (yet) be solved as well with LLMs as with, e.g., a fine-tuned BERT model. So I'm excited to see where LLMs will take us in the world of NLP, and I look forward to exploring their potential even further in the future.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkregenstein/just making my way through Housing is the Business Cycle by Edward Leamer, and thanks for the recommendation Francois Trahan.I will reproduce a few results from the paper over the weekend. Attached is a quick chart showing residential investment as percent of GDP, with recessions shaded pink. The time series goes back to 1950. This time series tends to peak in advance of recessions and trough at the end of recessions. If the current trend continues downward, it's further confirmation of a recession in 2023. This chart wasn't on my radar until now. Highly recommend the Leamer paper!

https://www.linkedin.com/in/petterkolm/My paper "Portfolio Optimization Based on Neural Networks Sensitivities from Assets Dynamics Respect Common Drivers" has been accepted for publication in the Machine Learning with Applications (MLWA) Journal. After almost a year since the first version called Hierarchical Sensitivity Parity was posted on Arxiv. The paper will be open access soon together with the code+datasets capsule by codeocean.We developed a new method for portfolio optimization that allows us to incorporate assets and portfolio dynamics in terms of causality via sensitivity information into the search for new sources of diversification. Portfolio constituents' causal dynamics are approximated by neural networks and sensitivities obtained with AAD. Optimal portfolio drivers are shown to be the most commonly selected in terms of causality and persistence for all constituents following Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle, the only case in which correlation could be used to approximate causality. The casual geometric space formed by the sensitivities of portfolio constituents with respect to their most common casual drivers allows a conformal map that retains most of the idiosyncratic diversification from the traditional mean-variance setup while adding systematic diversification. We could replace statistical factors with publicly listed common drivers that allow forming this casual space reducing computational costs and money. We add a directionality component to the search for diversification not seen before by means of the casual sensitivity dynamics' metric space in which we minimize risks. We show outperformance with respect to other out-of-sample methods and soon the published version will include an interactive code to run multiple experiments across different datasets, market conditions, and methods to learn more about our method and its impressive performance.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkregenstein/hello #rstats and #macroeconomics friends, let's close out 2022 with some daily updates. today, inflation and a possibly unpopular opinion about the magical 2% inflation number!
Last week we got the numbers on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which underpins the preferred inflation measure of the Federal Reserve. In one of Chair Powell's recent speech (link in comments), he spoke extensively about core PCE, goods versus services and housing. Our first chart shows the historical trend in year-on-year percent change in PCE and core PCE. The accompanying table shows CPI, PCE and core CPI/PCE year on year changes since August of 2021. The chart shows us that prior to 2021, core PCE year on year change hadn't exceeded 3% since 1992. We've had 30 years of price stability by this measure. The most recent reading on core PCE was 4.68% in November, while the headline grabbing but not part of the Fed's decision function CPI was at 7.12% for November. That 4.68% is the lowest PCE core reading since October of 2021. Things are trending how the FED wants and the labor market is still very tight (we'll do a labor market deep dive later this week). Let's dig into PCE components a bit, just a Powell does in his speech. The next table shows PCE components and YoY changes. Durable goods came in at 2.72% for november. It's services that remain stubbornly high at 5.25%.We can break services down into several categories, with housing being the largest. The next table shows the quarterly change in PCE service components, with Q3 Housing at 8.41%. As Lance Lambert has pointed out, housing costs are forecasted to fall and continue falling through 2023. In short, core PCE indicates that the Fed is doing it's job (don't worry we'll cover the Fed more tomorrow) and bringing inflation under control. Not much controversy there. My potentially unpopular opinion is that the Fed and real https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C5622AQHBbQNNt5PhHw/feedshare-shrink_800/0/1672238889691?e=1675296000&v=beta&t=4xXyuRnu3yohY56ZDDkQucnVXgQljsVZHHt0AeH8zBQ https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7013275246409482240Intech Investment Management LLC | Senior Vice President.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkregenstein/happy holidays to our #macreconomics and #rstats friends! let's give ourselves some holiday cheer, data visualization style
Sudheer Chava and I close out our interest rate section with a look at valuation, via the Shiller PE or CAPE - an acronym that stands for cyclically adjusted PE ratio. The CAPE is price per share of a stock or index divided by the inflation-adjusted average of the past ten years worth of earnings per share (EPS). The inflation adjustment is to correct for earnings increases that might simply be the product of inflation and the ten-year averaging is an attempt to capture a complete business cycle (and avoid using data from a particularly good or bad time period). In short we can view the CAPE as a measure of valuation. When it's high, valuations are high. The first chart below shows the history of the CAPE for the SP500 with shading for bear markets, and we can see that the all time high was reached during the dot com bubble and the second highest CAPE was reached in 2021. To bring this back to returns, our last chart shows the CAPE versus the 5 year future returns on the SP500. Buying at peak CAPE ratios isn't great, so we guess the good news is that eventually a plummeting CAPE rewards investors who are ready to deploy.To tie this back to interest rates, we highly recommend a look at the recent essay "Sea Change" by Howard Marks (link in the comments) which walks through a brief history of interest rates and how their level affects, among other things, asset valuation. Here's is one snippet: "[low interest rates] increase the fair value of assets...as interest rates fall, valuation parameters such as p/e ratios and enterprise values rise..." The eponymous Sea Change is occurring as we move from an era of low/declining rates that lasted from 1980-2021 to an era of increasing rates from 2022 - ????

https://www.linkedin.com/in/arikbendor/Employing a fully quantitative (systematic) approach to managing credit portfolios has gained significant traction in recent years. The interest comes from both quant equity shops looking to replicate their offering in credit and from discretionary credit investors who want to adopt a more systematic approach to managing their portfolios. The rise in electronic trading and portfolio trades in credit markets has facilitated the execution of systematic credit strategies based on quantitative signals - many of which are based on data from other markets such as Equities. The recent 2022 Special Issue of the Journal of Fixed Income celebrating its 30th Anniversary, includes an article that provides a detailed overview of many relevant findings and techniques that investors interested in the topic will find useful.#systematicinvesting #quantitativeresearch #quantitativecredit #JFI #electronictrading #journalfixedincome #creditportfolios

https://www.linkedin.com/in/prof-alexander-lipton-aa2256bb/My working paper "Autoencoder Market Models for Interest Rates" has been posted to SSRN at https://lnkd.in/d5E5KT8f. It develops highly efficient VAE training to historical curve shapes and proposes to use its latent variables as IR model state variables. VAE-based counterparts to multi-factor forward rate and short rate models in Q-measure and dynamic Nelson-Siegel and dual-measure models in P-measure are described.By aggressively eliminating invalid curve shapes from its latent space, VAE prevents them from appearing within the model without intricate constraints on the stochastic process used by the classical models for the same purpose. This makes VAE-based models more robust and simplifies their calibration.A curious byproduct of VAE training is a "world map of latent space" where neighbors have similar curve shapes, and distant lands have disparate curve shapes.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercotton/Unfortunately even after their total WorldCup failure, Oxford University even now is not able to accept the simple fact that predicting the future is principally not possible from past data in an open and evolving world. Even after the complete #WorldCup failure of their model and of the updated version before the Round of Eight. It is not about good or bad models. These #statistical models failed since WorldCups began ... take e.g. a look at the model of models for 2018.

Of course we can e.g. calculate the Newtonian equations for not too complex systems and are certain what will happen, e.g., to the apple falling down ... But the case for World Cup predictions is totally different. Many things change compared to the past data: Players change, participating nations change, circumstances change, referees are different, location changes, even a World Cup is hosted in winter season. 3) I've been a big Messi fan for years...and will always be regardless who will win today's final.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercotton/As the author of "How to Measure Anything," I am always on the lookout for new tools and techniques that can help organizations to make better decisions and allocate resources more effectively. Recently, I had the opportunity to learn about ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI, and I was impressed by its potential to improve decision-making in a wide range of contexts.One of the key challenges in decision-making is dealing with uncertainty and complexity. ChatGPT is particularly well-suited to addressing these challenges, as it is able to process and generate text based on patterns learned from a large dataset of human language. This enables it to provide insights and recommendations that would be difficult for humans to generate on their own.In my work, I have found that ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for generating scenarios, analyzing trade-offs, and developing contingency plans. It can also be used to help organizations identify key drivers of success and assess the potential risks and opportunities associated with different courses of action.Overall, I believe that ChatGPT has the potential to be a powerful tool for improving decision-making in a wide range of contexts. Its ability to process and generate text based on patterns learned from human language makes it a valuable resource for organizations looking to make better decisions in the face of uncertainty and complexity.Note: Everything above this sentence was written by ChatGPT. I told ChatGPT "Write an article about ChatGPT as if it were written by Doug Hubbard, the author of How to Measure Anything." It is not how I would have written it. I haven't used it in my work, as the response states. Compared to what I think I would write, this seems like hand waving, salesy, cheesy prose without much substance. But could you tell?

Our aim was to discuss empirical facts of financial markets and introduce a wide range of models, from the micro-scale mechanics of individual order arrivals to the emergent, macro-scale issues of market stability. We rooted all our discussions in the empirical behaviour of real markets, with the hope to provide a new perspective on topics as diverse as optimal trading, price impact, the fragile nature of liquidity, and most importantly, why and how prices move and why people trade at all. The widespread availability of high-quality, high-frequency data has indeed revolutionised the study of financial markets. By describing not only asset prices, but also market participants actions and interactions, this wealth of information offers a new window into the inner workings of the financial ecosystem. Just as the atomic hypothesis allowed Maxwell and Boltzmann, 150 years ago, to understand how the macroscopic world is described by thermodynamics, trades and quotes are the elementary units from which price dynamics emerges. I am actually particularly pleased with the way the ideas developed in our book perfectly dovetail with the recent `Inelastic Market Hypothesis’ of Xavier Gabaix and Ralf Koijen, which is in my view one of the most interesting and disruptive piece of work in financial economics. Several of my past posts already touched upon this topic, but I cannot resist mentioning it again, not least because IMH provides a clear and convincing interpretation for a host of interesting "anomalies" for which Efficient Market Theory is totally clueless. The IMH is the long-term epitome of what we called in our book the order-driven theory (ODT) of markets: prices move primarily because people trade, whatever the reason they are trading, and much less because of unexpected news that change the elu

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkregenstein/a lot of talk about the #yieldcurve these days, let's fire up the #rstats machine and dig in
To set the stage, the yield curve is a snapshot of the interest rate on various Treasury instruments, so we can visually compare them.Sudheer Chava and I build a function in our book that let's us plug in a date and get back the yield curve as of that date. For example, `yield_curve_plot("2005-08-01")` produces the first chart below, the yield curve as of August 2005. Notice how it's upward sloping, and is considered normal: the rates paid on shorter term treasuries is lower than than those paid on longer term treasuries. The next plot is from a call to yield_curve_plot("2022-12-01") - the yield curve as of now, December of 2022. This curve is inverted: one year and two year yields are higher than ten and thirty year yields.That is traditionally taken as a sign of a recession to come, under the following logic. When a recession occurs, GDP growth goes negative and the economy contracts. When the economy contracts, the Fed typically responds by lowering interest rates to stimulate lending, credit creation and economic growth. If we see 10-year rates below 2-year rates, the market is anticipating lower rates in the future, meaning the market is anticipating the Fed to lower rates to counterbalance an economic slow down. In a previous post we got the same signal from the copper gold ratio (see link in comments) - that ten year rates *should* be headed lower. The next chart shows us the historical trend of just one piece of the yield curve: the two-year ten-year differential. When that goes below zero, it's considered inverted. We can add on shading for recessionary periods and see how this tends to go negative ahead of recessions - and it's currently quite negative (no recession shading currently because the NBER hasn't declared us in recession yet - yet). Our final chart is a https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C5622AQFwRH2cQJqpLg/feedshare-shrink_800/0/1671219103310?e=1674086400&v=beta&t=dp9zWx_SOBEhO7CTVrFzbY_NOKriOQTrWroG0PDYZQY https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7009616942672007168Cuemacro | Founder

https://www.linkedin.com/in/prof-alexander-lipton-aa2256bb/A closed-form solution for optimal mean-reverting trading strategies “When prices reflect all available information, they oscillate around an equilibrium level. This oscillation is the result of the temporary market impact caused by waves of buyers and sellers. The resulting price behavior can be approximated through an O-U process. The parameters of the process might be estimated using historical data.”“Market makers provide liquidity in an attempt to monetize this oscillation. They enter a long position when a security is priced below its estimated equilibrium level, and they enter a short position when a security is priced above its estimated equilibrium level. They hold that position until one of three outcomes occurs: (A) they achieve a targeted profit; (B) they experience a maximum tolerated loss; (C) the position is held beyond a maximum tolerated horizon.” By Prof. Alexander Lipton & Marcos Lopez de PradoLink https://lnkd.in/dzMmDx-5

https://www.linkedin.com/in/silahian/Research paper on Automated Market Makers by Bergault, Bertucci, Bouba and Guéant.The authors analyze the performance of Liquidity Providers #LPs providing liquidity to different types of Automated Market Makers #AMMs. This analysis is carried out using a mean / standard deviation viewpoint à la Markowitz, though based on the PnL of LPs compared to that of agents holding coins outside of AMMs. They show that LPs tend to perform poorly in a wide variety of CFMMs under realistic market conditions. They then explore an alternative AMM design in which an #oracle feeds the current market exchange rate to the AMM which then quotes a bid/ask spread. This allows them to define an efficient frontier for the performance of LPs in an idealized world with perfect information and to show that the smart use of oracles greatly improves LPs’ risk / return profile, even in the case of a lagged oracle.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercotton/McKinsey’s survey found that the adoption of AI has dropped from a high of 58% in 2019 to this year’s 50% and provides little evidence that “AI leaders are pulling ahead,” despite the title saying so. It surveyed 1,492 participants representing the ‘full range of regions, industries, company sizes, functional specialities, and ensures’. Of those respondents, 744 said their organizations had adopted AI in at least one function and were asked about their organizations’ use of AI. Since first survey was done in 2017, McKinsey has seen AI adoption increase from 20% of respondents to 50% in 2019 before dropping to about 50%. The functions using #AI the most has changed from manufacturing and risk in 2018 to others in 2022: marketing and sales, product and service development, and strategy and corporate finance, and respondents report the highest cost benefits from AI in supply chain management. The number of organizations devoting more than 5% of their digital budgets has risen from 40% five years ago to more than 50% in 2022. 5% is not a big percentage of a digital budget and some consultants tell me that this figure itself suggests AI is not diffusing rapidly. It’s evidence of “AI leaders pulling ahead” is weak. The article says: These ‘AI high performers’ are defined as organizations that are seeing the biggest bottom line impact from AI adoption - that is, 20% or more of EBIT from AI use. The proportion of respondents falling into that group has remained steady at approximately 8%. Other recent surveys also show disappointing results. Accenture’s survey reports only 12% of AI adopters are currently using AI "to outpace their competitors," while 63% are still in the experimentation phase—"barely scratching the surface of AI’s potential." Even more troubling, automotive was listed as second most successful industry after pharmaceuticals, probably because the industry
