Blog Post: Falkenblog: More Evidence that Envy Trumps Greed

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 07:01 PM PDT

Two Israeli economists, Haim Levy and Guy Kaplanski, have a new article, Investment Choices with Envy and Altruism. The go over what kind of utility functions can rationalize the following preferences. They asked people about the following scenarios: 1.The value of the subjectรข€™s investment in stocks increases during the year from $25,000 to $27,500, and the stock index also increased at...

Published / Preprint: A Stochastic Delay Model For Pricing Debt And Loan Guarantees: Theoretical Results. (arXiv:1210.0570v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We consider that the price of a firm follows a non linear stochastic delay differential equation. We also assume that any claim value whose value depends on firm value and time follows a non linear stochastic delay differential equation. Using self-financed strategy and duplication we are able to derive a Random Partial Differential Equation (RPDE) that any claim whose value depends on firm value...

Published / Preprint: Strong Convergence for Euler-Maruyama and Milstein Schemes with Asymptotic Method. (arXiv:1210.0670v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

Motivated by weak convergence results in [Takahashi, A. and Yoshida, N., Monte Carlo simulation with asymptotic method, J. Japan Statist. Soc., Vol. 35 No. 2, 171-203, 2005.], we show strong convergence for an accelerated Euler-Maruyama scheme applied to perturbed stochastic differential equations. The Milstein scheme with the same acceleration is also discussed as an extended result. The...

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We consider a square-integrable semimartingale and investigate the convex order relations between its discrete, continuous and predictable quadratic variation. As the main results, we show that if the semimartingale has conditionally independent increments and symmetric jump measure, then its discrete realized variance dominates its quadratic variation in increasing convex order. The results have...

Published / Preprint: The string prediction models as an invariants of time series in forex market. (arXiv:1109.0435v2 [q-fin.TR] UPDATED)

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper we apply a new approach of the string theory to the real financial market. It is direct extension and application of the work [1] into prediction of prices. The models are constructed with an idea of prediction models based on the string invariants (PMBSI). The performance of PMBSI is compared to support vector machines (SVM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) on an artificial and...

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

This paper studies the optimal timing to liquidate credit derivatives in a general intensity-based credit risk model under stochastic interest rate. We incorporate the potential price discrepancy between the market and investors, which is characterized by risk-neutral valuation under different default risk premia specifications. We quantify the value of optimally timing to sell through the...

The purpose of this paper is to explain share price movement in the short term based on the interaction of historical traded volumes and the associated traded values; both of which constitute the internal structure of the market for the particular security that is built on two premises: The distribution of volume at different points in time' The excess/deficit in initial liquidity generated from...

Research Library: Equity Trading and the Allocation of Market Data Revenue

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 07:53 AM PDT

Cecilia Caglio and Stewart Mayhew   Abstract: Revenues generated from the sales of consolidated data represent a substantial source of income for U.S. stock exchanges. Until 2007, consolidated data revenue was allocated in proportion to the number of reported trades. This allocation rule encouraged market participants to break up large trades and execute them in multiple pieces....

Published / Preprint: The beneficial role of random strategies in social and financial systems

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:53 AM PDT

In this paper we focus on the beneficial role of random strategies in social sciences by means of simple mathematical and computational models. We briefly review recent results obtained by two of us in previous contributions for the case of the Peter principle and the efficiency of a Parliament. Then, we develop a new application of random strategies to the case of financial trading and discuss...

Published / Preprint: The European debt crisis: Defaults and market equilibrium

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:53 AM PDT

During the last two years, Europe has been facing a debt crisis, and d3e 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...

Published / Preprint: Bootstrapping topology and systemic risk of complex network using the fitness model

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:53 AM 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...

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 05:53 AM PDT

Many online networks are not fully known and are often studied via sampling. Random Walk (RW) based techniques are the current state-of-the-art for estimating nodal attributes and local graph properties, but estimating global properties remains a challenge. In this paper, we are interested in a fund 8c2 amental property of this type - the graph size N, i.e., the number of its nodes. Existing...

Wired Magazine asks how Wall Street Got Addicted to High-Frequency Trading

Posted: 06 Aug 2012 11:21 PM PDT

The high-frequency trading debate has been polarising opinion for years now, and with little impact on the march of the technologies which are enabling it. Here at MoneyScience, we try not to take a view on the ethics or cultural impact of HFT - we like the evolution of technology as a rule, but dislike speculation when it comes at the expense of markets which would otherwise provide a socially...
