Abstract: In McMahon et al. (2024) the authors demonstrated the effectiveness of a hybrid quantum solver in improving the liquidity efficiency of Canada’s high-value payments system (HVPS), altering the payment queue in order to minimize liquidity requirements. In this work, we apply a similar technique ...more »

Abstract: We show that the parameters of a broad class of portfolio-balance models can be recovered from estimates of Gaussian dynamic term structure models (GDTSMs) using a two-step estimator that bypasses the fixed-point problem that characterizes portfolio balance models. Specifically, we develop a novel canonical ...more »

We measure these beliefs using demand and supply narratives derived from inflation news via Causality Extraction, which identifies causal relations between inflation and its drivers. ...more »
