We compare six modeling methods for Loss Given Default (LGD). We find that non-parametric methods (regression tree and neural network) perform better than parametric methods both in and out of sample when over-fitting is properly controlled. Among the parametric methods, fractional response...

Inspired by the linear predictability and nonlinearity found in the finance literature, this article examines the nonlinear predictability of the excess returns. The relationship between the excess returns and the predicting variables is recursively modeled by a neural-network model, which is...

This study examines the distribution of extreme values in daily currency changes for nine Asian countries. Using an improved estimator, extreme changes in Asian currencies can generally be represented by Frechet distributions. Our results are robust to the choice of the numeraire currency, the...
