New research proposes LLM agents for autonomous asset pricing discovery

A new paper introduces Agentic Empirical Asset Pricing (AEAP), a paradigm where LLM agents autonomously conduct the scientific discovery process for asset pricing. The research defines AEAP, outlines its core components, and proposes a rigorous evaluation standard for these autonomous discovery systems, moving beyond just backtesting outputs. The paper also presents a reference architecture and a method for out-of-sample backtesting of the discovery system itself, highlighting potential evaluation pitfalls through negative findings and limitations.

    Agentic Empirical Asset Pricing: Methodological Foundations

    arXiv:2609.00731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in LLM agents enable a new paradigm for asset pricing, which we call Agentic Empirical Asset Pricing (AEAP): systems that autonomously conduct the scientific discovery process itself. We define AEAP and identify its …
