Qu’est-ce que les paradoxes des technologies émergentes ?

Emerging technologies offer endless opportunities for businesses and consumers. However, they also pose challenges in terms of adoption and use. It is essential to find a balance between technological innovation and human interaction. Businesses also need to deal with the misuse of these technologies (e.g., misleading advertising) and ensure ethical use.

What is a Virtual Influencer?

Virtual influencers are 100% Computer Generated Influencers created by AI and 3D artists. These virtual influences can model, sing, and even interact with fans—without ever existing in real life. Despite the risks of virtual influencers (e.g., lack of authenticity, ethical and transparency concerns, etc.), they represent enormous opportunities for brands.

In Machine Learning We Trust: A Bankruptcy Prediction Application

Recently, ensemble-based machine learning models have been widely adopted and have demonstrated their effectiveness in bankruptcy prediction. However, these algorithms often function as black boxes, making it difficult to understand how they generate forecasts. This lack of transparency has led to growing interest in interpretability methods within artificial intelligence research. In this paper, we assess the predictive performance of Random Forest, LightGBM, XGBoost, and NGBoost (Natural Gradient Boosting for probabilistic prediction) on French firms across various industries, with a forecasting horizon of one to five years. We then apply Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), a model-agnostic interpretability technique, to explain XGBoost, one of the best-performing models in our study. SHAP highlights the contribution of each feature to the model’s predictions, enabling a clearer understanding of how financial and macroeconomic factors influence bankruptcy risk. Moreover, it allows for the explanation of individual predictions, making black-box models more applicable in credit risk management.

Qu’est-ce que la gestion de portefeuille ?

La gestion de portefeuille consiste à sélectionner et assembler des actifs financiers pour optimiser le risque et le rendement selon les objectifs du client. Elle est assurée par une société de gestion, composée du gérant de portefeuille, des analystes, des traders et de l’équipe commerciale. Les clients privés incluent les petits épargnants, qui investissent via des fonds indiciels (ETF) ou actifs, et les investisseurs fortunés, qui bénéficient d’une gestion sur mesure. Les investisseurs institutionnels, comme les fonds de pension et les dotations universitaires, ont des besoins spécifiques nécessitant une gestion structurée et disciplinée. Face à l’incertitude des marchés, la gestion de portefeuille repose sur une surveillance constante et une stratégie adaptée pour garantir performance et stabilité financière.

What is an Initial Coin Offering?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a modern fundraising method for start-ups, similar to crowdfunding but using digital tokens instead of traditional cash or rewards. Investors purchase these tokens, which they can later use to buy the product or resell for potential profit. ICOs provide entrepreneurs with a global financing opportunity while offering investors early access to innovative projects. Overall, ICOs connect entrepreneurship, finance, and blockchain technology, making them a revolutionary tool for start-up funding.

Environmental Tax Policies in Emerging Markets: Does Confidence in Political Institutions Matter?

The goal of this study is to examine how environmental taxes influence the comparative advantage in environmental products and carbon emissions within emerging economies. To gain a better understanding, we examine whether this impact changes depending on the level of government integrity. The results indicate that increased environmental taxes mitigate the comparative advantage in environmental goods for emerging markets. However, for countries with high levels of government integrity, higher environmental taxes enhance their competitive edge in environmental goods. Additionally, our findings show that although a rise in environmental taxes is associated with higher carbon emissions, raising such taxes results in a reduction in carbon emissions for emerging economies with solid government integrity. These findings suggest that robust political institutions are crucial in promoting the comparative advantage of emerging markets in environmental goods and mitigating climate change. In the absence of substantial confidence in political or governmental institutions, the efficient implementation of climate taxes poses considerable challenges. Furthermore, we observe that an increase in the comparative advantage of environmental goods results in a decrease in carbon emissions.

Qu’ est-ce que la finance comportementale ?

La finance comportementale se différencie de la finance classique en faisant l'hypothèse que les agents financiers ont une rationalité cognitive, plus proche de la réalité des comportements observés, plutôt qu'une rationalité axiomatique.
