A Neural Network with Shared Dynamics for Multi-Step Prediction of Value-at-Risk and Volatility

Research output: Working paper / PreprintWorking paper

Abstract

We develop a LSTM neural network for the joint prediction of volatility, realized volatility and Value-at-Risk. Regularization by means of pooling the dynamic structure for the different outputs of the models is shown to be a powerful method for improving forecasts and smoothing VaR estimates. The method is applied to daily and high-frequency returns of the S&P500 index over a period of 25 years.
