Neben der Einleitung ist die Dissertation in zwei Teile aufgeteilt. In Teil I wird die Annahme eines Investors mit μ-σ Präferenz getroffen. Das erste Kapitel stellt ein Multi-Rating ATSM unter Arbitragefreiheit mit dem klaren Fokus auf Zinsstrukturkurvenmodelle für Unternehmensanleihen vor....

We perform a comparative analysis of machine learning methods for the canonical problem of empirical asset pricing: measuring asset risk premia. We demonstrate large economic gains to investors using machine learning forecasts, in some cases doubling the performance of leading regression-based...

This paper evaluates the performance of machine learning methods in forecasting stock returns. Compared to a linear benchmark model, interactions and non-linear effects help improve predictive performance. But machine learning models must be adequately trained and tuned to overcome the high...

In this paper, we combine the theory of stochastic process and techniques of machine learning with the regression analysis, first proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz 2001 and apply the new methodologies on financial derivatives pricing. Rigorous convergence proofs are provided for some of the...
