Modeling dependency between operational risk losses and macroeconomic variables using Hidden Markov Models

This paper proposes an extension of Hidden Markov Models that incorporates macroeconomic covariates via an auxiliary variable to effectively model the time-dependent heterogeneity and stress-test relationships in operational risk losses, utilizing the Expectation-Maximization algorithm for calibration and validation across various risk-event types.

AI Patents in the United States and China: Measurement, Organization, and Knowledge Flows

This paper introduces a high-precision AI patent classifier to reveal that while the United States and China exhibit converging AI patenting growth and market value premiums, they differ significantly in organizational structures—with the U.S. dominated by large private firms and China by diverse institutions—and remain technologically interdependent through cross-border knowledge flows.
