Forecasting VaR and ES using a joint quantile regression and its implications in portfolio allocation

Date: 01/12/2021 Author(s): L. Merlo; Lea Petrella; Valentina Raponi Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) In this paper, we propose a multivariate quantile regression framework to forecast Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) of multiple financial assets simultaneously, extending Taylor (2019). We generalize the Multivariate Asymmetric Laplace (MAL) joint quantile regression of Petrella and Raponi (2019) to a time-varying setting, which allows ...

Here comes the sun

Date: 01/10/2021 Author(s): Xirong Chen; Zheng Li ; Liu Ming; Weiming Zhu Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) Problem Definition: We study a ridesharing platform’s optimal bonus-setting decisions for capacity and profit maximization problems in which drivers set daily income targets. Academic and Practical Relevance: Sharing economy companies have been providing monetary rewards to incentivize self-scheduled drivers to work longer. We study the effectiveness ...

Conditioning the effect of prize on tournament self-selection

Date: 01/10/2021 Author(s): David Pastoriza; Inés Alegre; Miguel Ángel Canela Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) This study examines how past performance moderates the effect of the size of the prize on tournament self-selection. We identify two types of trajectories that play simultaneous and unique roles in moderating the influence of prize on an agent’s decision to enter a tournament: within- period trajectory, which reflects an agent’s short-term performance ...

Sustainability-driven decision-making model

Date: 01/10/2021 Author(s): Oriol Pons; Maria del Mar Casanovas-Rubio; Jaume Armengou; Albert de la Fuente Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) Currently, foundation piles for inhabited areas are often constructed using a continuous flight auger, which is a cost- and time-efficient technology that does not require stabilization of the borehole wall; the steel bar reinforcement is embedded after the concrete has been poured. However, this reinforcement operation can lead to severe construction ...

Sequence risk

This really is a scary scenario, but one that the evidence here shows that retirees are not very likely ...

Debiasing the measurement of conditional conservatism

Date: 01/09/2021 Author(s): Marc Badia; Miguel Duro; Fernando Peñalva; Stephen Ryan Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) Basu’s [1997] measurement of conditional conservatism as the asymmetric timeliness of earnings underlies hundreds of studies. However, many subsequent studies cast doubt on the extent to which Basu’s measure captures conditional conservatism versus statistical biases or alternative constructs (collectively, “biases”), thereby questioning the validity ...
