Self-Explanatory Financial Planning Models

چکیده
A financial model is a representation of the activities of a business in terms of quantitative relationships among variables that can help an analyst understand the financial consequences of past activities or assumed future activities. The equations comprising such models form a kind of knowledge base which can be used to generate explanations. In this paper we give some background on financial models, discuss two sorts of explanations in this domain, and present a procedure for explaining model results.

متن کاملForecast Evaluation of Explanatory Models of Financial Variability∗ Forthcoming in Economics—The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal
A practice that has become widespread and widely endorsed is that of evaluating forecasts of financial variability obtained from discrete time models by comparing them with high-frequency ex post estimates (e.g. realised volatility) based on continuous time theory. In explanatory financial variability modelling this raises several methodological and practical issues, which suggests an alternati...

متن کاملRobust Factor Models with Explanatory Proxies
We provide an econometric analysis for the factor models when the latent factors can be explained partially by several observed explanatory proxies. In financial factor models for instance, the unknown factors can be reasonably well predicted by a few observable proxies, such as the Fama-French factors. In diffusion index forecasts, identified factors are strongly related to several directly me...
متن کاملLinking self-esteem with the tendency to engage in financial planning
A strong positive relationship between self-esteem and an individual’s decision to engage in various forms of financial planning is empirically demonstrated using a unique data sample. These results yield interesting implications for the possible effect of self-esteem interventions on financial planning choices and pave the way for future psychological and economic research in this area. 2010 E...
