These quantities are central to understanding price and volatility formation, pricing financial derivatives, and designing effective risk-hedging strategies. The project will exploit the richness of modern financial data to revisit classical problems with new econometric and computational tools. In particular, it will use recent advances in machine learning, including deep neural networks, generative models, high-dimensional statistics, and path signatures to build flexible and scalable estimation procedures tailored to financial markets. A specific focus will be on the pricing and hedging of zero-days-to-expiration options, where ultra-short maturities require methods capable of extracting information from high-frequency market dynamics in real time.Requirements
