Published / Preprint: Derivatives and Credit Contagion in Interconnected Networks

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:17 AM PST

The importance of adequately modeling credit risk has once again been highlighted in the recent financial crisis. Defaults tend to cluster around times of economic stress due to poor macro-economic conditions, {\em but also} by directly triggering each other through contagion. Although credit default swaps have radically altered the dynamics of contagion for more than a de 89d cade, models...

Published / Preprint: Agent-based Versus Macroscopic Modeling of Competition and Business Processe 8ec s in Economics and Finance

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:17 AM PST

We present examples of agent-based and stochastic models of competition and business processes in economics and finance. We start from as simple as possible models, which have microscopic, agent-based, versions and macroscopic treatment in behavior. Microscopic and macroscopic versions of herding model proposed by Kirman and Bass diffusion of new products are considered in this contribution as...

Published / Preprint: A simple microstructure return model explaining microstructure noise and Epps effects

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:17 AM PST

We present a simple microstructure model of financial returns that combines (i) the well-known ARFIMA process applied to tick-by-tick returns, (ii) the bid-ask bounce effect, (iii) the fat tail structure of the distribution of returns and (iv) the non-Poissonian statistics of inter-trade intervals. This model allows us to explain both qualitatively and quantitatively important stylized facts...

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:17 AM PST

Zipf's law on word frequency is observed in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and so on, yet it does not hold for Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters. A model for writing process is proposed to explain the above difference, which takes into account the ef 73f fects of finite vocabulary size. Experiments, simulations and analytical solution agree well with each other. The results show that the...

Published / Preprint: Correlated dynamics in egocentric communication networks

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:17 AM PST

We investigate the communication sequences of millions of people through two different channels and analyze the fine grained temporal structure of 857 correlated event trains induced by single individuals. By focusing on correlations between the heterogeneous dynamics and the topology of egocentric networks we find that the bursty trains usually evolve for pairs of individuals rather than for the...

Published / Preprint: On the distribution of time-to-proof of mathematical conjectures

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 12:57 AM PST

What is the productivity of Science? Can we measure an evolution of the production of mathematicians over history? Can we predict the waiting a0d time till the proof of a challenging conjecture such as the P-versus-NP problem? Motivated by these questions, we revisit a suggestion published recently and debated in the "New Scientist" that the historical distribution of time-to-proof's, i.e., of...

Published / Preprint: Iterated risk measures for risk-sensitive Markov decision processes with discounted cost. (arXiv:1202.3755v1 [cs.GT])

Posted: 19 Feb 2012 05:35 PM PST

We demonstrate a limitation of discounted expected utility, a standard approach for representing the preference to risk when future cost is discounted. Specifically, we provide an example of the preference of a decision maker that appears to be rational but cannot be represented with any discounted expected utility. A straightforward modification to discounted expected utility leads to...

Published / Preprint: Utility Based Pricing in the Large Claim, Nearly Complete Limit. (arXiv:1202.4007v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 19 Feb 2012 05:35 PM PST

This paper provides approximations to utility indifference prices for a contingent claim in the large position size limit. Results are valid for general utility functions and semi-martingale models. It is shown that as the position size approaches infinity, all utility functions with the same rate of decay for large negative wealths yield the same price. Practically, this means an investor should...
