Abstract
Artificial neural networks have gained increasing importance in many fields, including quantitative finance, due to their ability to identify, learn and regenerate non-linear relationships between targets of investigation. We explore the potential of artificial neural networks in forecasting financial crises with micro-, macroeconomic and financial factors. In this application of neural networks, a huge amount of available input factors, but limited historical data, often leads to over-parameterized and unstable models. Therefore, we develop an input variable reduction method for model selection. With an iterative walk-forward forecasting and testing procedure, we create out-of-sample predictions for crisis periods of the S&P 500 and demonstrate that the model selected with our method outperforms a model with a set of input factors taken from the literature.
