This paper develops an early warning system for predicting distress for large European banks. Using a novel definition of distress derived from banks' headroom above regulatory requirements, we investigate the performance of three machine learning techniques against the traditional logistic...

The Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI), under the direction of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), provided open access to various risk parameters with respect to MidCap and SmallCap funds for the first time from February 2024. Our study utilizes AMFI datasets from...

Central bank intervention in the form of quantitative easing (QE) during times of low interest rates is a controversial topic. This paper introduces a novel approach to study the effectiveness of such unconventional measures. Using U.S. data on six key financial and macroeconomic variables...

This paper contributes a multivariate forecasting comparison between structural models and Machine-Learning-based tools. Specifically, a fully connected feed forward nonlinear autoregressive neural network (ANN) is contrasted to a well established dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE)...

After 2010, the consumer price index fell to a low level in the EU. In the euro area, it remained low between 2010 and 2020. The European Central Bank has even had to take action against the emergence of deflation. The situation changed significantly in 2021. Inflation jumped to levels not seen...

Understanding how price-volume information determines future price movement is important for market makers who frequently place orders on both buy and sell sides, and for traders to split meta-orders to reduce price impact. Given the complex non-linear nature of the problem, we consider the...

This study focuses on the crucial task of forecasting tax revenue for India, specifically the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which plays a pivotal role in fiscal spending and taxation policymaking. Practically, the GST time series datasets exhibit linear and non-linear fluctuations due to the...

In the euro area, monetary policy is conducted by a single central bank for 20 member countries. However, countries are heterogeneous in their economic development, including their inflation rates. This paper combines a New Keynesian model and a neural network to assess whether the European...

We propose how deep neural networks can be used to calibrate the parameters of Stochastic-Volatility Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) models to historical asset return time series. 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D-CNN) are used for that purpose. The accuracy of the deep learning approach is...

The objective of the article is to develop and test in practice a mechanism for constructing AI/ML-based predictions, adapted for use in the system of government socio-economic administration in Ukraine. Research design is represented by several methods like qualitative analysis in order to...

We present an approximation method for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem based on relaxation and machine learning techniques. Our model combines a suitable relaxation of the objective function to a continuous solution space with a self-supervised learning method for neural networks, which...

This paper studies how household inequality shapes the effects of the zero lower bound (ZLB) on nominal interest rates on aggregate dynamics. To do so, we consider a heterogeneous agent New Keynesian (HANK) model with an occasionally binding ZLB and solve for its fully nonlinear stochastic...

This article forms an attempt to expand the ability of online search queries to predict initial jobless claims in the United States and further explore the intricacies of Google Trends. In contrast to researchers who used only a small number of search queries or limited themselves to job agency...

This paper develops an early warning system for predicting distress for large European banks. Using a novel definition of distress derived from banks' headroom above regulatory requirements, we investigate the performance of three machine learning techniques against the traditional logistic...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a specialized class of deep neural networks tailored for processing high-dimensional data, excelling in tasks like image classification, object detection, and facial recognition. Their architecture is built on convolutional layers interspersed with...
