Financial data are expensive and highly sensitive with limited access. We aim to generate abundant datasets given the original prices while preserving the original statistical features. We introduce the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) into the field of...

In this paper we investigate the opportunity to issue a Special Purpose Vehicle with a mixed capital structure dedicated to the development of green and social infrastructure in less developed areas of the European Union

Meeks and Meeks (2022, MM for short)* has a question in its subtitle, Why spend ever more on mergers when so many fail? There are three interwoven strands in the book’s answer:First, contracts (explicit and implicit) often reward key players in the M&A market — executives and advisers —...

The emergence of financial technology (FinTech) has been transforming the financial services industry by creating new opportunities and challenges, while financial engineering, on the other hand, has been a key driver of financial innovation by enabling the creation of complex financial products...

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are on an ambitious path towards green economic transformation. In this paper we identified the target as high level of Human Development Index (HDI) within the planetary capacity of One Earth. All the GCC countries have already achieved high levels of...

Private equity funds intermediate investment and affect portfolio firm performance by actively engaging in operational, governance, and financial engineering. We study this type of intermediation in a dynamic agency model in which an active intermediary raises funds from outside investors and...
