| Posted: 31 May 2012 03:15 AM PDT The number of citations is a widely used metric for evaluating the scientific credit of papers, scientists and journals. However, it so happens that papers with fewer citations from prestigious scientists have a higher influence than papers with more citations. In this paper, we argue that by whom the paper is being cited is of greater significance than merely the number of citations.... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |

| Published / Preprint: Cascade Failure in a Phase Model of Power Grids Posted: 31 May 2012 01:53 AM PDT We propose a phase model to study cascade failure in power grids composed of generators and loads. If the power demand is below a critical value, the model system of power grids maintains the standard frequency by feedback control. On the other hand, if the power demand exceeds the critical value, an electric failure occurs via step out (loss of synchronization) or voltage col 563 lapse. The two...

| Published / Preprint: Agent-based simulations of emotion spreading in online social networks Posted: 31 May 2012 12:30 AM PDT Quantitative analysis of empirical data from online social networks reveals group dynamics in which emotions are involved (\v{S}uvakov et al). Full understanding of the underlying mechanisms, however, remains a challenging task. Using agent-based computer simulations, in this paper we study dynamics of emotional communications in online social networks. The rules that guide how the agents...

Aravind Eye Care in Madurai has been the subject of numerous business school case studies, but if you want an introduction to this amazing organization, the video below is a great place to start.

| Blog Post: Falkenblog: Experience is an Imperfect Teacher Posted: 30 May 2012 07:03 PM PDT It has been said that good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. Unfortunately, one doesn't always learn good judgment from experience. From Russ Roberts' interview with Lawrence White over at EconTalk:Lawrence White: I think the idea you referred to earlier of Friedman's, that people have to learn from experience that a certain program of control...

| Posted: 30 May 2012 05:30 PM PDT In this paper we discuss the issue of computation of the bilateral credit valuation adjustment (CVA) under rating triggers, and in presence of ratings-linked margin agreements. Specifically, we consider collateralized OTC contracts, that are subject to rating triggers, between two parties -- an investor and a counterparty. Moreover, we model the margin process as a functional of the credit... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |

| Research Library: Bank of England Financial Stability Paper: The implicit subsidy of banks Posted: 30 May 2012 06:52 AM PDT Joseph Noss and Rhiannon Sowerbutts This paper examines the implicit subsidy of UK banks by the government and the associated distortions in the financial system. It explains why the subsidy arises, why it is a public policy concern and explores how it can be quantified. Quantifying the implicit subsidy to banks has generated considerable interest over recent years. The numbers are striking,... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |

| Published / Preprint: Efficient greek estimation in generic swap-rate market models Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT We first develop an efficient algorithm to compute Deltas of interest rate derivatives for a number of standard market models. The computational complexity of the algorithms is shown to be proportional to the number of rates times the number of factors per step. We then show how to extend the method to efficiently compute Vegas in those market models.read more... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Published / Preprint: Forecasting prices from level-I quotes in the presence of hidden liquidity Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT Bid and ask sizes at the top of the order book provide information on short-term price moves. Drawing from classical descriptions of the order book in terms of queues and order-arrival rates (Smith et al., 2003), we consider a diffusion model for the evolution of the best bid/ask queues. We compute the probability that the next price move is upward, conditional on the best bid/ask sizes, the... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Published / Preprint: Behavioral biases and investor performance Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT Research indicates that individual investors trade excessively and underperform the market indices, Barber and Odean (2000). The purpose of this paper is to help explain which behavioral biases, if any, can explain this result using a simulation approach. Results indicate that putting too much weight on the current environment, anchoring, is the largest factor in explaining individual investor... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Published / Preprint: Markets are efficient if and only if P = NP Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT I prove that if markets are efficient, meaning current prices fully reflect all information available in past prices, then P = NP, meaning every computational problem whose solution can be verified in polynomial time can also be solved in polynomial time. I also prove the converse by showing how we can “program†the market to solve NP-complete problems. Since P probably does not equal NP,... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Published / Preprint: Binomial options pricing has no closed-form solution Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT We set a lower bound on the complexity of options pricing formulae in the lattice metric by proving that no general explicit or closed form (hypergeometric) expression for pricing vanilla European call and put options exists when employing the binomial lattice approach. Our proof follows from Gosper's algorithm.read more... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
| Posted: 30 May 2012 05:37 AM PDT Delineating industry groups of related firms and identifying strategic peers is important for both financial practitioners and scholars.

We find that our news-based measure of relatedness can explain stock returns with the same... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article.    |
