This paper rationalizes the LASSO algorithm based on uncertain fat-tail priors and max-min robust optimization. Our rationalization excludes heuristic learning or restrictive prior assumptions in the original interpretation of LASSO (Tibshirani (1996)). In our setting, economic agents...

This paper estimates relative risk aversion using the observed share of risky assets and characteristics of households. By assuming a participation cost of risky asset market and treating zero risky shares as a result of heterogeneous self-censoring, I estimate relative risk aversion and...

We develop a transparent Bayesian approach to quantify uncertainty about linear stochastic discount factor models. We … show that, for a Bayesian decision-maker, the model probability decreases with historical maximum in-sample Sharpe ratios … and increases with model dimensions. We apply our approach to quantify the time series of model uncertainty in North …

This paper studies market selection in an Arrow-Debreu economy with complete markets where agents learn over misspecified models. Under model misspecification, standard Bayesian learning loses its formal justification and biased learning processes may provide a selection advantage. However,...

This paper constructs the probability space underlying the random variable of any time dependent econometric …. Furthermore, it is argued that the probability events belonging to this space are forms of understanding economic activity held by …’s probability space. Finally, a model of the dependencies based on agent-based understandings, and evolution thereof, is presented …
