Blog Post: Falkenblog: Marxism Lives

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:15 PM PST

Paul Krugman vaguely implies that productivity is the cause of stagnant wage growth, in that robots are taking over former 'good' jobs. 20 years ago he railed against those kind of theories, but now he notes that for this theory:It has echoes of old-fashioned Marxism â€" which shouldn’t be a reason to ignore facts, but too often is.His insinuation is we are ignoring the rise of the robot elite...

Published / Preprint: Generalizations of Functionally Generated Portfolios with Applications to Statistical Arbitrage. (arXiv:1212.1877v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 05:33 PM PST

The theory of functionally generated portfolios (FGPs) is an aspect of the continuous-time, continuous- path Stochastic Portfolio Theory of Robert Fernholz. FGPs have been formulated to yield a master equation - a description of their return relative to a passive (buy-and-hold) benchmark portfolio serving as the num\'eraire. This description has proven to be analytically very useful, as it is...

Published / Preprint: Stochastic PDEs and Quantitative Finance: The Black-Scholes-Merton Model of Options Pricing and Riskless Trading. (arXiv:1212.1919v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 05:33 PM PST

Differential equations can be used to construct predictive models of a diverse set of real-world phenomena like heat transfer, predator-prey interactions, and missile tracking. In our work, we explore one particular application of stochastic differential equations, the Black-Scholes-Merton model, which can be used to predict the prices of financial derivatives and maintain a riskless, hedged...

This reviews the econophysics activities in Belgium from my admittedly biased point of view. Unknown historical notes or facts are presented for the first time explaining the aims, whence evolution of the research papers and friendly connections with colleagues. Comments on endeavors are also provided. The lack of official, academic and private support is outlined.

Published / Preprint: Optimal Stopping under Adverse Nonlinear Expectation and Related Games. (arXiv:1212.2140v1 [math.OC])

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 05:33 PM PST

We study the existence of optimal actions in a zero-sum game $\inf_\tau \sup_P E^P[X_\tau]$ between a stopper and a controller choosing a probability measure. In particular, we consider the optimal stopping problem $\inf_\tau \mathcal{E}(X_\tau)$ for a class of sublinear expectations $\mathcal{E}(\cdot)$ including the $G$-expectation. We show that the game...

Published / Preprint: Transition in the Waiting-Time Distribution of Price-Change Events in a Global Socioeconomic System. (arXiv:1212.2189v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 05:33 PM PST

The goal of developing a firmer theoretical understanding of inhomogenous temporal processes -- in particular, the waiting times in some collective dynamical system -- is attracting significant interest among physicists. Quantifying the deviations in the waiting-time distribution away from one generated by a random process, may help unravel the feedback mechanisms that drive the underlying...
