Published / Preprint: Optimal Multiple Trading Times Under the Exponential OU Model with Transaction Costs. (arXiv:1504.04682v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 20 Apr 2015 05:38 PM PDT

This paper studies the timing of trades under mean-reverting price dynamics subject to fixed transaction costs. We solve an optimal double stopping problem to determine the optimal times to enter and subsequently exit the market, when prices are driven by an exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In addition, we analyze a related optimal switching problem that involves an infinite sequence of...

Published / Preprint: Time-consistency of risk measures with GARCH volatilities and their estimation. (arXiv:1504.04774v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 20 Apr 2015 05:38 PM PDT

In this paper we study time-consistent risk measures for returns that are given by a GARCH$(1,1)$ model. We present a construction of risk measures based on their static counterparts that overcomes the lack of time-consistency. We then study in detail our construction for the risk measures Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Average Value-at-Risk (AVaR). While in the VaR case we can derive an analytical...

Published / Preprint: Forecasting the term structure of crude oil futures prices with neural networks. (arXiv:1504.04819v1 [q-fin.GN])

The paper contributes to the rare literature modeling term structure of crude oil markets. We explain term structure of crude oil prices using dynamic Nelson-Siegel model, and propose to forecast them with the generalized regression framework based on neural networks. The newly proposed framework is empirically tested on 24 years of crude oil futures prices covering several important recessions...
