Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We theoretically characterize the behavior of machine learning asset pricing models. We prove that expected out-of-sample model performance—in terms of SDF Sharpe ratio and test asset pricing errors—is improving in model parameterization (or “complexity”). Our empirical findings verify the theoretically predicted “virtue of complexity” in the cross-section of stock returns. Models with an extremely large number of factors (more than the number of training observations or base assets) outperform simpler alternatives by a large margin. Subtitle: Complexity in Factor Pricing Models. Speaker Details: Associate Professor Semyon Malamud EPFL Please click here to view profile. Type: Seminars & Workshops. Subject: Finance & Financial Markets. Audience: Academic Community. Friday, April 5, 2024, 10:30 AM – 11:45 AM. Lee Kong Chian School of Business Level 1, Seminar Room 1.1 50 Stamford Road Singapore 178899.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We model mortgage refinancing as a bargaining game involving the borrowing household, the incumbent lender, and outside banks. In equilibrium, the borrower's ability to refinance depends on the number of competing banks, the incumbent bank's relative cost (dis)advantage, and the average creditworthiness of borrowers in the local market. It is also driven by borrower search and switching costs. We find empirical support for the key predictions of our model in an administrative data set covering the universe of mortgages in Belgium.

MPA Professorship in Maritime Business Research Seminar

Area Administration Firms in commoditized industries are struggling under strong price competition. To secure a sustainable competitive advantage, firms can implement an ecosystem strategy, which provides opportunities to build relational ties and capitalize on untapped customer loyalty. While the scholarly discourse indicated that trustworthy ties are imperative to implement successful ecosystems, a more nuanced understanding is lacking, resulting in a knowledge gap concerning real-world dynamics. Building upon the relational view, the study theorizes that trust in a firm and diverse physical, informational, and end-user layers in an ecosystem shape customer loyalty. To test the theory, the study pioneers a novel sample, which includes 50.3 × 106 firm-customer ties and covers the years 2021-2023. The initial outcome supports the hypotheses and contributes to the trust-as-competitive-advantage and ecosystems research. Subtitle: Buoyed by Trust: Ecosystems and loyalty in container shipping. Speaker Details: MPA Professor in Maritime Business Martin Jes Iversen and Dr Christopher Dirzka. RSVP: . Type: Seminars & Workshops. Subject: Operations Management. Audience: Academic Community.
