Blog Post: Falkenblog: Investors Like Large Spreads, Says Broker

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 07:03 PM PDT

Here's a good example of someone who has learned to rationalize his self-interest so well he does not recognize when he is saying something absurd, from the WSJ:"If you could set your tick size [minimum bid-ask spread] much wider, market participants will react," said Jeffrey Solomon, chief executive of banking firm Cowen and Co. LLC, speaking to lawmakers at the hearing Wednesday. "Investors...

Published / Preprint: On-Line Portfolio Selection with Moving Average Reversion. (arXiv:1206.4626v1 [cs.CE])

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:34 PM PDT

On-line portfolio selection has attracted increasing interests in machine learning and AI communities recently. Empirical evidences show that stock's high and low prices are temporary and stock price relatives are likely to follow the mean reversion phenomenon. While the existing mean reversion strategies are shown to achieve good empirical performance on many real datasets, they often make the...

Published / Preprint: A CB (corporate bond) pricing probabilities and recovery rates model for deriving default probabilities and recovery rates. (arXiv:1206.4766v1 [math.ST])

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:34 PM PDT

In this paper we formulate a corporate bond (CB) pricing model for deriving the term structure of default probabilities (TSDP) and the recovery rate (RR) for each pair of industry factor and credit rating grade, and these derived TSDP and RR are regarded as what investors imply in forming CB prices in the market at each time. A unique feature of this formulation is that the model allows each firm...

Published / Preprint: A No-Arbitrage Model of Liquidity in Financial Markets involving Brownian Sheets. (arXiv:1206.4804v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We consider a dynamic market model where buyers and sellers submit limit orders. If at a given moment in time, the buyer is unable to complete his entire order due to the shortage of sell orders at the required limit price, the unmatched part of the order is recorded in the order book. Subsequently these buy unmatched orders may be matched with new incoming sell orders. The resulting demand curve...

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:13 AM PDT

We present conditions under b7e which positive alpha exists in the realm of active portfolio management- in contrast to the controversial result in Jarrow (2010, pg. 20) which implicates delegated portfolio management by surmising that positive alphas are illusionary. Specifically, we show that the critical assumption used in Jarrow (2010, pg. 20), to derive the illusionary alpha result, is...

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:13 AM PDT

The network of patents connected by citations is an evolving graph, which provides a representation of the innovation process. A patent citing another implies that the cited patent reflects a piece of previously existing knowledge that the citing patent builds upon. A methodology presented here (i) identifies actual clusters of patents: i.e. technological branches, and (ii) gives predictions...

Published / Preprint: Social Influence in Social Advertising: Evidence from Field Experiments

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:57 AM PDT

Social advertising uses information about consumers' peers, including peer affiliations with a brand, product, organization, etc., to target ads and contextualize their display. This approach can increase ad efficacy for two main reasons: peers' affiliations reflect unobserved consumer characteristics, which are correlated along the social network; and the inclusion of social cues (i.e., peers'...

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:57 AM PDT

We describe techniques for the robust detection of community structure in some classes of time-dependent networks. Specifically, we consider the use of statistical null models for facilitating the principled identification of structural modules in semi-decomposable systems. Null models play an important role both in the optimization of quality functions such as modularity and in the subsequent...
