Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Caractériser les dynamiques des rendements d'actifs à l'aide de modèles de volatilité est un champ important de la finance empirique. La littérature dans ce domaine privilégie des spécifications de volatilité plutôt complexes dont la performance relative est généralement estimée par leur vraisemblance à partir de séries chronologiques de rendements d'actifs. Cet article compare plusieurs modèles de volatilité selon un critère différent, utilisant les rendements et prix d'options dans une mesure neutre au risque et de probabilité physique. Nous estimons la performance relative des différents modèles en évaluant la fonction objective basée sur les prix d'options. Contrairement à l'inférence basée sur les rendements, nous trouvons que notre fonction objective basée sur les options favorise un modèle relativement parcimonieux. En particulier, lorsqu'elle est évaluée hors-échantillon, notre analyse favorise un modèle qui, outre le groupement de volatilités, ne permet qu'un effet de levier standard. Cette analyse empirique fait partie d'une littérature en plein essor qui suggère que l'évaluation des prix d'options en temps discret, lorsque la volatilité varie dans le temps, est pratique et riche en enseignements.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
