    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 average pricing errors—is improving in model parameterization (or “complexity”). Our results predict that the best asset pricing models (in terms of expected out-of-sample performance) have an extremely large number of factors (more than the number of training observations or base assets). Our empirical findings verify the theoretically predicted “virtue of complexity” in the cross-section of stock returns and find that the best model combines tens of thousands of factors. We also derive the feasible Hansen- Jagannathan (HJ) bound: The maximal Sharpe ratio achievable by a feasible portfolio strategy. The infeasible HJ bound massively overstates the achievable maximal Sharpe ratio due to a complexity wedge that we characterize

    Aus einer Gegenüberstellung von Optimierungs- und Koordinierungsproblem entwickelt dieser ordonomische Beitrag die zentrale Fragestellung der Wirtschaftsethik. Sie fokussiert die Perspektive auf institutionelle Reformen zur Verwirklichung moralischer Anliegen. Die traditionelle Ethik ist gewohnt, ganz andere Fragen zu stellen. So kann der Eindruck entstehen, als gäbe es einen Widerspruch zwischen Individualethik und Institutionenethik. Dieser Widerspruch lässt sich auflösen, wenn man sorgsam darauf achtet, auf welche Problemstruktur der jeweilige Argumentationsmodus passt und auf welche eben nicht. Die Kernthese lautet, dass sich Individualethik und Institutionenethik wechselseitig ergänzen und stärken können. This article juxtaposes problems of optimization and coordination. It thus develops from an ordonomic point of view the central question that is asked by economic ethics. This question focuses the perspective on institutional reforms that actualize moral desiderata. Traditional ethics is used to asking quite different questions. Therefore, one might have the impression that there is a contradiction between individual ethics and institutional ethics. However, such a contradiction can be overcome if care is taken in observing that different kinds of argumentation fit different kinds of problem structures. The core insight is that individual ethics and institutional ethics can mutually complement and strengthen each other.

    In this paper, we show both theoretically and empirically that the size of over-the-counter (OTC) markets can be reduced without affecting individual net positions. First, we find that the networked nature of these markets generates an excess of notional obligations between the aggregate gross amount and the minimum amount required to satisfy each individual net position. Second, we show conditions under which such excess can be removed. We refer to this netting operation as compression and identify feasibility and efficiency criteria, highlighting intermediation as the key element for excess levels. We show that a tradeoff exists between the amount of notional that can be eliminated from the system and the conservation of original trading relationships. Third, we apply our framework to a unique and comprehensive transaction-level dataset on OTC derivatives including all firms based in the European Union. On average, we find that around 75% of market gross notional relates to excess. While around 50% can in general be removed via bilateral compression, more sophisticated multilateral compression approaches are substantially more efficient. In particular, we find that even the most conservative multilateral approach which satisfies relationship constraints can eliminate up to 98% of excess in the markets.

    Wearables (such as data glasses and smartwatches) are a particularly visible element of Industrie 4.0 applications. They aim at providing situation-specific information to workers, but at the same time they can also be used for surveillance and control because they generate data on the work process and sometimes even on movement patterns and vital data of the employees. Wearables technology is at an early stage of development, in which the interests and perspectives of relevant stakeholders, especially technology developers and the management, are of particular importance. This article explores the role of solution developers and their understanding of work processes in which wearables are to be used. It is based on expert interviews with solution developers, academic and company experts. The analysis shows an ambivalent understanding of work: On the one hand, it is characterized by the perception of workers as potential sources of error. It focuses on the optimization of individual workplaces and their ergonomics, while broader questions of work design and work organization are ignored. On the other hand, the technology developers see and discuss the potentials and dangers of wearables technologies with regard to individualization, data protection and control in a differentiated manner. Wearables (beispielsweise Datenbrillen und Smartwatches) sind ein besonders sichtbares Element von Industrie-4.0-Anwendungen. Sie sollten situationsgerechte Informationen zur Verfügung stellen, können aber zugleich auch Daten über den Arbeitsprozess - und teils sogar über Bewegungsmuster und Vitaldaten der Beschäftigten - generieren. Die Wearables-Technologie ist in einem frühen Entwicklungsstadium, in dem die Interessen und Sichtweisen der relevanten Akteure, vor allem der Technikentwickler und des Managements möglicher Anwendungsunternehmen von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Der vorliegende Artikel untersucht die Rolle der Lösungsentwickler und ihr Verständnis von Arbeit und den Arbeitsprozessen, in denen Wearables eingesetzt werden sollen. Er beruht auf leitfadengestützten Interviews mit Lösungsentwicklern. Gezeigt wird ein ambivalentes Verständnis von Arbeit: auf der einen Seite dominiert die Wahrnehmung menschlicher Arbeitskräfte als potentielle Fehlerquellen und die Fokussierung auf die Optimierung einzelner Arbeitsplätze und ihrer Ergonomie, während übergreifende Fragen der Arbeitsgestaltung und Arbeitsorganisation ausgeblendet werden. Auf der anderen Seite werden die Potentiale und Gefahren der Wearables-Technologien im Hinblick auf Individualisierung, Datenschutz und Kontrolle differenziert gesehen und diskutiert.

    The mix of instruments used to finance a sovereign is a key determinant of debt sustainability through its effect on funding costs and risks. We extend standard debt sustainability analysis to incorporate debt-financing decisions in the presence of macroeconomic, financial, and fiscal risks. We optimize the maturity of debt instruments to trade off borrowing costs with refinancing risk. Risk is quantified with a coherent measure of tail risk of financing needs, conditional Flow-at-Risk. A constraint on the pace of reduction of debt stocks is also imposed, and we model the effect of debt stocks on the yield curve through endogenous risk and term premia. On a simulated economy, we show that the cost-risk and flow-stock trade-offs embedded in issuance decisions are key determinants of the evolution of debt dynamics and are economically significant. Comparing three alternative optimizing strategies and some simple fixed-issuance rules, we also draw lessons on when and why optimizing matters the most. This depends on the risk tolerance level, the size, cost, and maturity of legacy debt, and the sensitivity of interest rates to debt. Our model quantifies thresholds for the minimum level of refinancing risks and the maximum pace of debt reduction that a sovereign could reach given its economic fundamentals. Going beyond those thresholds is only feasible through adjustments of gross financing needs, and an extension of the baseline model identifies the hot spots for these adjustments, computing their minimum size and optimal timing. Our findings inform policy decisions concerning both official sector borrowing and public finance, with a focus not only on minimizing interest payments but also on managing refinancing risks and increasing debt dynamics.

    In this work, we study the profitability of energy storage operated in the Nordic, German, and UK electricity day-ahead markets during 2006-2016. We build a linear optimization model which maximizes profits from arbitraging hourly prices and use the model output of profits and storage cycles in further econometric analyses. We quantify and disentangle the effects of electricity spot price volatility, electricity demand, carbon emission price, wind and solar generation, and spread between gas and coal prices on profits and operation of 1-13MWh energy storages. Among others we find that solar generation is associated with lower profits but higher operating frequency of energy storages in Germany. Wind power generation is associated with positive effects on profits in the UK and Germany. vRES does not affect profits or operation of the Nordic energy storages.

    South Africa hopes to expand wind and solar power. Success depends on how and where to deploy the technologies. This study develops a 10-year database of expected power generation for these technologies across South Africa. A power system model simulates the performance of different spatial deployment strategies in 2040. The results suggest that optimization of the location and quantities of the technologies could significantly reduce the cost of greenhouse gas abatement compared to conventional approaches. The data and techniques utilize open-source satellite data and software to minimize the cost of analysis, an approach that could be translated to other contexts.

    In principle, portfolio optimization in electricity markets can make use of the standard mean-variance model going back to Markowitz. Yet a key restriction in most electricity markets is the limited liquidity. Therefore the standard model has to be adapted to cope with limited liquidity. An application of this model shows that the optimal hedging strategy for generation portfolios is strongly dependent on the size of the portfolio considered as well as on the variance-covariancematrix used and the liquidity function assumed.

    This paper discusses whether differences in the data structure of observational and experimental studies should lead to different strategies for variable selection. On the one hand, it is argued that outliers in the predictor variables have to be treated differently in the two kinds of studies. In experimental studies this results in philosophical problems with the applicability of cross validation. On the other hand, it is shown, however, that a well designed experiment might lead to a factor structure very appropriate for cross validation, namely a certain balance in the observations together with orthogonality of the factors. This might be the reason why in practice cross validation has proven to be a valuable tool for variable selection also in experimental studies. In contrast, however, it is shown that variables selection based on cross validation is not appropriate for saturated orthogonal designs. After this fundamental argumentation, we illustrate by a number of examples that the same methods for variable selection can be successfully applied in observational as well as experimental studies.
