Blog Post: Falkenblog: Short Sales as a Coasian Solution

Posted: 07 Oct 2012 06:35 PM PDT

The Coase theorem states that if there are no transaction costs, bargaining will lead to the same outcome regardless of the allocation of property rights. This highly counterintuitive result has a very profound implication, such as that the law should focus more on predictability than justice, because if one suffices with a reasonably just law that is highly predictable, one should expect the...

Finance has benefited from the Wolfram's NKS approach but it can and will benefit even more in the future, and the gains from the influence may actually be concentrated among practitioners who unintentionally employ those principles as a group.

Published / Preprint: Portfolio Choice in Markets with Contagion. (arXiv:1210.1598v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 07 Oct 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We consider the problem of optimal investment and consumption in a class of multidimensional jump-diffusion models in which asset prices are subject to mutually exciting jump processes. This captures a type of contagion where each downward jump in an asset's price results in increased likelihood of further jumps, both in that asset and in the other assets. We solve in closed-form the dynamic...

Published / Preprint: Optimal order placement in limit order markets. (arXiv:1210.1625v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 07 Oct 2012 05:34 PM PDT

To execute a trade, participants in electronic equity markets may choose to submit limit orders or market orders across various exchanges where a stock is traded. This decision is influenced by the characteristics of the order flow and queue sizes in each limit order book, as well as the structure of transaction fees and rebates across exchanges. We propose a quantitative framework for studying...

Published / Preprint: Three state herding model of the financial markets. (arXiv:1210.1838v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 07 Oct 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We propose a Markov jump process with the three state herding interaction. We see our approach as an agent-based model for the financial markets. Under certain assumptions this agent-based model can be related to the stochastic description exhibiting sophisticated statistical features. Along with power-law probability density function of the absolute returns we are able to reproduce the fractured...

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...
