The psychology of poverty: Economics fellow uses Kenyan lab to study, learn from the poor

Posted: 29 Oct 2012 04:13 AM PDT

To Johannes Haushofer, studying Western college students to understand economic decision-making more clearly will only take economists so far. Sooner or later, those who want to grasp one of the world's largest economic problems—the plight of the global poor—are going to have to talk to some poor people.read more...

Published / Preprint: Generalised arbitrage-free SVI volatility surfaces. (arXiv:1210.7111v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

In this article we propose a generalisation of the recent work of Gatheral and Jacquier on explicit arbitrage-free parameterisations of implied volatility surfaces. We also discuss extensively the notion of arbitrage freeness and Roger Lee's moment formula using the recent analysis by Roper. We further exhibit an arbitrage-free volatility surface different from Gatheral's SVI parameterisation.

Published / Preprint: A Model of Market Limit Orders By Stochastic PDE's, Parameter Estimation, and Investment Optimization. (arXiv:1210.7230v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper we introduce a completely continuous and time-variate model of the evolution of market limit orders based on the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solutions to a type of stochastic partial differential equations obtained in Zheng and Sowers (2012). In contrary to several models proposed and researched in literature, this model provides complete continuity in both time and...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: AQR on Making Low Vol Better

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 04:28 PM PDT

 AQR has been offering 'low vol' funds institutionally for a couple of years, but last July started offering them to retail customers too.  As they are titled 'Defensive Equity' funds, they escaped my radar but really these are 'low vol' funds (eg, U.S. Defensive Equity Fund AUEIX, the AQR International Defensive Equity Fund (ANDIX), and the AQR Emerging Defensive Equity Fund...

Blog Post: ThePracticalQuant: Mining Time-series with Trillions of Points: Dynamic Time Warping at scale

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 10:05 AM PDT

Take a similarity measure that's already well-known by researchers who work with time-series, and devise an algorithm to compute it efficiently at scale. Suddenly intractable problems become tractable, and Big Data mining applications that use the metric are within reach. The classification, clustering, and indexing (search) of time series has important applications in many domains. In medicine...
