FEDS Paper: A Framework for Understanding the Vulnerabilities of New Money-Like Products

Kenechukwu Anadu, Patrick McCabe, JP Perez-Sangimino, and Nathan SwemNew money-like products, such as tokenized money market funds (MMFs), money market exchange-traded funds (MMETFs), and stablecoins, could be transformative for finance. These products may offer significant benefits, but like other money-like assets, they also have certain vulnerabilities.

‘If you don’t like dark roast, this isn’t the coffee for you’: How exclusionary ads can win over the right customers

Imagine you are searching for a new mattress online and find something surprising.

Wait … what? A retailer telling someone not to buy its product? No way!

Joint extreme value-at-risk and expected shortfall dynamics with a single integrated tail shape parameter

We propose a robust semi-parametric framework for persistent time-varying extreme tail behavior, including extreme Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). The framework builds on Extreme Value Theory and uses a conditional version of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for peaks-over-threshold (POT) dynamics.
