题目：Empirical Asset Pricing via Machine Learning

期刊：The Review of Financial Studies

作者：Shihao Gu，Bryan Kelly，Dacheng Xiu

摘要：We perform a comparative analysis of machine learning methods for the canonical problem of empirical asset pricing: measuring asset risk premiums.We demonstrate large economic gains to investors using machine learning forecasts, in some cases doubling the performance of leading regression-based strategies from the literature. We identify the best-performing methods (trees and neural networks) and trace their predictive gains to allowing nonlinear predictor interactions missed by other methods. All methods agree on the same set of dominant predictive signals, a set that includes variations on momentum, liquidity, and volatility.
