Blog Post: Falkenblog: Banks Still in Negative Vega Zone

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:48 PM PDT

Recent increases in the monetary base have all gone into excess reserves, and so inflation has remained low, and monetary stimulus isn't stimulating. This puzzles many people, but I have a theory for it. The idea is that while equity owners--management--are like owners of call options on the assets of a firm (aka the Merton Model), banks are like down-and-out call option owners, because if their...

Published / Preprint: The European debt crisis: Defaults and market equilibrium. (arXiv:1209.6369v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

During the last two years, Europe has been facing a debt crisis, and Greece has been at its center. In response to the crisis, drastic actions have been taken, including the halving of Greek debt. Policy makers acted because interest rates for sovereign debt increased dramatically. High interest rates imply that default is likely due to economic conditions. High interest rates also increase the...

Published / Preprint: UPDATE July 2012 | The Food Crises: The US Drought. (arXiv:1209.6376v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

Recent droughts in the midwestern United States threaten to cause global catastrophe driven by a speculator amplified food price bubble. Here we show the effect of speculators on food prices using a validated quantitative model that accurately describes historical food prices. During the last six years, high and fluctuating food prices have lead to widespread hunger and social unrest. While a...

Published / Preprint: Maximising Survival, Growth, and Goal Reaching Under Borrowing Constraints. (arXiv:1209.6385v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

In this paper, we consider three problems related to survival, growth, and goal reaching maximization of an investment portfolio with proportional net cash flow. We solve the problems in a market constrained due to borrowing prohibition. To solve the problems, we first construct an auxiliary market and then apply the dynamic programming approach. Via our solutions, an alternative approach is...

Published / Preprint: The best gain-loss ratio is a poor performance measure. (arXiv:1209.6439v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

The gain-loss ratio is known to enjoy very good properties from a normative point of view. As a confirmation, we show that the best market gain-loss ratio in the presence of a random endowment is an acceptability index and we provide its dual representation for general probability spaces. However, the gain-loss ratio was designed for finite $\Omega$, and works best in that case. For general...

Published / Preprint: Bootstrapping topology and systemic risk of complex network using the fitness model. (arXiv:1209.6459v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

We present a novel method to reconstruct complex network from partial information. We assume to know the links only for a subset of the nodes and to know some non-topological quantity (fitness) characterising every node. The missing links are generated on the basis of the latter quan- tity according to a fitness model calibrated on the subset of nodes for which links are known. We measure the...

Published / Preprint: Malliavin calculus method for asymptotic expansion of dual control problems. (arXiv:1209.6497v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

We develop a technique based on Malliavin calculus ideas, for asymptotic expansion of dual control problems arising in connection with exponential indifference valuation of claims, and with minimisation of relative entropy, in incomplete markets. The problems involve optimisation of a functional in which the control features quadratically, while in the state dynamics it appears as a drift...
