Scenario analysis with multivariate Bayesian machine learning models
We present an econometric framework that adapts tools for scenario analysis, such as conditional forecasts and generalized impulse response functions, for use with dynamic nonparametric multivariate m...

“Interpretable Bayesian machine learning for assessing the effects of climate news shocks on firm-level returns,” at ssrn.com/abstract=513... where we:
▶️ use a Bayesian asset pricing framework & machine learning
▶️ have text-based climate risk indicators
▶️ find asymmetric impacts across firms
Interpretable Bayesian machine learning for assessing the effects of climate news shocks on firm-level returns
We propose a Bayesian Asset Pricing framework that uses machine learning to capture nonlinear interactions between firm exposures to climate change risks and a
