Blog Post: TheAlephBlog: Reforming Public School Testing

Posted: 11 Sep 2012 11:15 PM PDT

My wife was a high school teacher in math and science in West Sacramento when we married.  (West Sacramento is in Yolo, not Sacramento County, and is considerably poorer than Sacramento.)  She is forever grateful that I took her away from “all that,” and allowed her to have a life where she homeschools our three biological and five adopted children.  She does a great job, and I...

Published / Preprint: How is non-knowledge represented in economic theory?. (arXiv:1209.2204v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 11 Sep 2012 05:31 PM PDT

In this article, we address the question of how non-knowledge about future events that influence economic agents' decisions in choice settings has been formally represented in economic theory up to date. To position our discussion within the ongoing debate on uncertainty, we provide a brief review of historical developments in economic theory and decision theory on the description of economic...

Published / Preprint: The Future Has Thicker Tails than the Past: Model Error As Branching Counterfactuals. (arXiv:1209.2298v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 11 Sep 2012 05:31 PM PDT

Ex ante forecast outcomes should be interpreted as counterfactuals (potential histories), with errors as the spread between outcomes. Reapplying measurements of uncertainty about the estimation errors of the estimation errors of an estimation leads to branching counterfactuals. Such recursions of epistemic uncertainty have markedly different distributial properties from conventional sampling...

Published / Preprint: Jump-Diffusion Risk-Sensitive Asset Management II: Jump-Diffusion Factor Model. (arXiv:1102.5126v2 [q-fin.PM] UPDATED)

Posted: 11 Sep 2012 05:31 PM PDT

In this article we extend earlier work on the jump-diffusion risk-sensitive asset management problem [SIAM J. Fin. Math. (2011) 22-54] by allowing jumps in both the factor process and the asset prices, as well as stochastic volatility and investment constraints. In this case, the HJB equation is a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE). By combining viscosity solutions with a change of...

Published / Preprint: On the drawdown of completely asymmetric Levy processes. (arXiv:1103.1460v2 [math.PR] UPDATED)

Posted: 11 Sep 2012 05:31 PM PDT

The {\em drawdown} process $Y$ of a completely asymmetric L\'{e}vy process $X$ is equal to $X$ reflected at its running supremum $\bar{X}$: $Y = \bar{X} - X$. In this paper we explicitly express in terms of the scale function and the L\'{e}vy measure of $X$ the law of the sextuple of the first-passage time of $Y$ over the level $a>0$, the time $\bar{G}_{\tau_a}$ of...
