Market-based valuation

A Market-based valuation is a form of stock valuation that refers to market indicators, also called extrinsic criteria (i.e. not related to economic fundamentals and account data, which are intrinsic criteria). Technical analysis is the most characteristic market-based method, although it focuses more on timing than pricing. Also, rough market comparison tools such as the PE ratio and the PEG ratio are used. More sophisticated forms of analysis (fundamental analysis, quantitative analysis, and behavioral analysis) use also some market criteria, such as the risk premium or beta coefficient. Those criteria might be "tilted" in some valuation models in anticipation of their possible variation in the next future, or to adapt them to their historical statistical range or mean.

Essays in Macroeconomics and FinTech

Monetary policy has long been a central topic in macroeconomics. With the rise of blockchain technology, it has also become an important topic for cryptocurrencies, which were originally created as an alternative to fiat currencies and reached a market valuation of 3.5 trillion in 2025. In the context of cryptocurrency markets, "monetary policy" refers to the rules and mechanisms used to manage the supply and circulation of tokens and plays a key role in determining their success and adoption.

Dynamic Valuation of Delinquent Credit-Card Accounts

This paper presents a model for the estimation of the repayment process of delinquent credit-card accounts conditional on account-specific and macroeconomic information. Based on this model we construct a dynamic collectability score (DCS). The DCS estimates the account-specific probability of collecting a given percentage of outstanding debt over a chosen time horizon. It also allows for account valuation and estimation of the future repayment frequency. The method is tested using a large set of account-le

An optimal IPO mechanism

We analyse the optimal Initial Public Offering (IPO) mechanism in a multidimensional adverse selection setting where institutional investors have private information about the market valuation of the shares, the intermediary has private information about the demand, and the institutional investors and intermediary collude. Theorem 1 states that uniform pricing is optimal (all agents pay the same price) and characterizes the IPO price in terms of conditional expectations. Theorem 2 states that the optimal me

Stock valuation

In financial markets, stock valuation is the method of calculating theoretical values of companies and their stocks. The main use of these methods is to predict future market prices, or more generally, potential market prices, and thus to profit from price movement – stocks that are judged undervalued (with respect to their theoretical value) are bought, while stocks that are judged overvalued are sold, in the expectation that undervalued stocks will overall rise in value, while overvalued stocks will generally decrease in value.
