Bias-corrected estimators for the Vasicek model: an application in risk measure estimation
The author evaluates the usefulness of bias-correction methods in enhancing the Vasicek model for market risk and counterparty risk management practices.
A framework to analyze the financial effects of climate change
Starting with an expert assessment of the climate risk factors over a specified horizon, then moving to a description of the expected number of climate events and the severity of the losses if an event occurs, the authors describe a framework to analyze…

Pricing vanilla and exotic options with a deep learning approach for PDEs
Body and tail: an automated tail-detecting procedure
The quality of a tail model, which is determined by data from an unknown distribution, depends critically on the subset of data used to model the tail. Based on a suitably weighted mean square error, the authors present a completely automated method that…
Universalities in the dynamics of cryptocurrencies: stability, scaling and size
The authors explore the effects of market capitalization on the dynamics of cryptocurrencies within both returns and volatility networks and show that these cryptocurrencies exhibit scaling properties in volatility with respect to market capitalization.
The strange case of the Jet Airways bankruptcy: a financial structure analysis
The authors investigate the financial structure of Jet Airways, with the aim of understanding whether financial turbulence for an airline company can constitute an antecedent for predicting the risk of bankruptcy.
Standard errors of risk and performance estimators for serially dependent returns
In this paper, a new method for computing the standard errors (SEs) of returns-based risk and performance estimators for serially dependent returns is developed.
