The Role of Index Fund Ownership in the Era of Say‐on‐Pay
ABSTRACT We examine whether and how index funds influence executive compensation in the post‐Say‐on‐Pay era. Using the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes as a source of exogenous variation in index fund ownership, we document a causal effect of index ownership on CEO pay structure.

Measure‐valued processes for energy markets
Abstract We introduce a framework that allows to employ (non‐negative) measure‐valued processes for energy market modeling, in particular for electricity and gas futures. Interpreting the process' spatial structure as time to maturity, we show how the Heath–Jarrow–Morton approach can be translated to this framework, thus guaranteeing arbitrage free ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Solving Stochastic Climate‐Economy Models: A Deep Least‐Squares Monte Carlo Approach
ABSTRACT Stochastic versions of recursive integrated climate‐economy assessment models are essential for studying and quantifying policy decisions under uncertainty. However, as the number of state variables and stochastic shocks increases, solving these models via deterministic grid‐based dynamic programming (e.g., value‐function iteration/projection ...

Discrete Entropies of Chebyshev Polynomials
Because of its flexibility and multiple meanings, the concept of information entropy in its continuous or discrete form has proven to be very relevant in numerous scientific branches. For example, it is used as a measure of disorder in thermodynamics, as

Teleosemantics for neural word embeddings
This paper applies a consumer‐based teleosemantic framework to give a detailed analysis of a particular algorithm for generating word embeddings. In the process, it addresses several of the challenges facing teleosemantic approaches to artificial neural networks.

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers
ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Knowledge Spillover, Trust, Effort, and Error Exposure in Peer‐Assisted Learning
Abstract Peer‐assisted learning has the potential to improve learning in academic settings and beyond. However, the cognitive and motivational mechanisms of learning through interaction with other learners are not fully understood. Here, we present an empirical study in which we compare a peer‐assisted learning condition with two individual learning ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent in High Dimensions for Multi‐Spiked Tensor PCA
ABSTRACT We study the high‐dimensional dynamics of online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for the multi‐spiked tensor model. This multi‐index model arises from the tensor principal component analysis (PCA) problem with multiple spikes, where the goal is to estimate the unknown signal vectors within the N$N$‐dimensional unit sphere through maximum ...

On the spectrum of tridiagonal matrices with two-periodic main diagonal
We find the spectrum and eigenvectors of an arbitrary irreducible complex tridiagonal matrix with two-periodic main diagonal. This is expressed in terms of the spectrum and eigenvectors of the matrix with the same sub- and superdiagonals and zero main ...
