Financial Stability Implications of Generative AI: Taming the Animal Spirits

2025-10-01 · Anne Lundgaard Hansen, Seung Jung Lee arxiv

This paper investigates the impact of the adoption of generative AI on financial stability. We conduct laboratory-style experiments using large language models to replicate classic studies on herd behavior in trading decisions. Our results show that AI agents make more rational decisions than humans, relying predominantly on private information over market trends. Increased reliance on AI-powered trading advice could therefore potentially lead to fewer asset price bubbles arising from animal spirits that trade by following the herd. However, exploring variations in the experimental settings reveals that AI agents can be induced to herd optimally when explicitly guided to make profit-maximizing decisions. While optimal herding improves market discipline, this behavior still carries potential implications for financial stability. In other experimental variations, we show that AI agents are not purely algorithmic, but have inherited some elements of human conditioning and bias.

Contingent Convertible Obligations and Financial Stability

2020-06-01 · Zachary Feinstein, T. R. Hurd

This paper investigates whether a financial system can be made more stable if financial institutions share risk by exchanging contingent convertible (CoCo) debt obligations. The question is framed in a financial network …

RELTA-SGLD: Relative-Growth Localized Taming for Nonconvex Stochastic-Gradient Langevin Learning

2026-07-21 · Yiwei Zhou, Ziheng Chen arxiv

We introduce RELTA-SGLD, a taming scheme that stabilizes superlinear stochastic-gradient updates while reducing unnecessary suppression of the original learning drift. A threshold determines where the taming turns on, wh…

On the Global Convergence of Imitation Learning: A Case for Linear Quadratic Regulator

2019-01-11 · Qi Cai, Mingyi Hong, Yongxin Chen, Zhaoran Wang

We study the global convergence of generative adversarial imitation learning for linear quadratic regulators, which is posed as minimax optimization. To address the challenges arising from non-convex-concave geometry, we…

Log-Ergodic Dynamics in Stochastic Monetary Velocity: Theoretical Insights and Economic Implications

2024-11-27 · Kiarash Firouzi, Mohammad Jelodari Mamaghani

We suggest employing log-ergodic processes to simulate the velocity of money in an ergodic manner. Our approach sheds light on economic behavior, policy implications, and financial dynamics by maintaining long-term stabi…
