Research Library: Has the U.S. Finance Industry Become Less Efficient? On the Theory and Measurement of Financial Intermediation (pdf)

Posted: 15 May 2012 01:27 AM PDT

Thomas Philippon Abstract I provide a quantitative interpretation of financial intermediation in the U.S. over 140 years. I measure the cost of intermediation on the one hand, and the production of financial services on the other. I find the following results: (i) intermediation is produced under constant returns to scale; (ii) “quality” adjustment for changes in borrowers’...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: Risk and Return Confusion

Posted: 14 May 2012 07:26 PM PDT

If you listen to the first 20 seconds of this clip, you'll hear a simple proposition about risk and return from a top-rate finance professor, John Geanakoplos. The problem is, though it isn't really clear, he is talking about a risk akin to a default rate, and a return like a stated yield.  It's not really central to this particular lecture, but its the kind of throw-away assertion that...

Published / Preprint: The fractional volatility model: No-arbitrage, leverage and completeness. (arXiv:1205.2866v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

Based on a criterion of mathematical simplicity and consistency with empirical market data, a stochastic volatility model has been obtained with the volatility process driven by fractional noise. Depending on whether the stochasticity generators of log-price and volatility are independent or are the same, two versions of the model are obtained with different leverage behavior. Here, the...

Published / Preprint: Global Green Economy and Environmental Sustainability: a Coopetitive Model. (arXiv:1205.2872v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

This paper provides a coopetitive model for a global green economy, taking into account the environmental sustainability. In particular, we propose a differentiable coopetitive game G (in the sense recently introduced by D. Carf`{\i}) to represent a global green economy interaction, among a country c and the rest of the world w. Our game G is a linear parametric (Euclidean) perturbation of...

Published / Preprint: Universality class of balanced flows with bottlenecks: granular flows, pedestrian fluxes and financial price dynamics. (arXiv:1205.2915v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We propose and document the evidence for an analogy between the dynamics of granular counter-flows in the presence of bottlenecks or restrictions and financial price formation processes. Using extensive simulations, we find that the counter-flows of simulated pedestrians through a door display many stylized facts observed in financial markets when the density around the door is compared with the...

Published / Preprint: Towards a new brain science: lessons from the economic collapse. (arXiv:1205.2999v1 [nlin.AO])

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

Since the financial crash in 2008, economic science and the economic profession are under siege. Critics point fingers at ivory tower economists, devoted to the construction of unfalsifiable models based on unrealistic assumptions in purely theoretical basis. Economies are complex man-made systems where organisms and markets interact according to motivations and principles not entirely understood...

Published / Preprint: Optimal High Frequency Trading in a Pro-Rata Microstructure with Predictive Information. (arXiv:1205.3051v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We propose a framework to study optimal trading policies in a one-tick pro-rata limit order book, as typically arises in short-term interest rate futures contracts. The high-frequency trader has the choice to trade via market orders or limit orders, which are represented respectively by impulse controls and regular controls. We model and discuss the consequences of the two main features of this...

Published / Preprint: On the nature of financial leverage. (arXiv:1009.2896v3 [q-fin.RM] UPDATED)

Posted: 14 May 2012 05:34 PM PDT

The article presents a translation of some widespread financial terminology into the language of decision theory. For instance, financial leverage can be regarded as an object of choice or a decision. We show how the optics of decision theory allows perceiving the recently introduced metrics of see-through-leverage, which proved to be very useful in understanding the phenomenology of the recent...
