Blog Post: Falkenblog: Poor Ina Drew

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 07:33 PM PDT

Executives at large financial corporations tend to be smarmy bureaucrats, not savvy investors. They rise to the top via excellent credentials, good connections, better timing, and learning to not say anything so clearly as to betray their ignorance on things large and small. Ina Drew sounds like a Dilbert caricature.A New York Times puff piece on her tries to paint her as the scapegoat, but the...

Published / Preprint: On random convex analysis--the analytic foundation of the module approach to conditional risk measures. (arXiv:1210.1848v1 [math.FA])

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

To provide a solid analytic foundation for the module approach to conditional risk measures, this paper establishes a complete random convex analysis over random locally convex modules by simultaneously considering the two kinds of topologies (namely the $(\varepsilon,\lambda)$--topology and the locally $L^0$-- convex topology). It should be also mentioned that D. Filiporvi\'{c}, M....

Published / Preprint: On parameter estimation for critical affine processes. (arXiv:1210.1866v1 [math.ST])

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

First we provide a simple set of sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of scaled affine processes with state space $R_+ \times R^d$. We specialize our result to one-dimensional continuous state branching processes with immigration. As an application, we study the asymptotic behavior of least squares estimators of some parameters of a two-dimensional critical affine diffusion process.

Published / Preprint: How We Tend To Overestimate Powerlaw Tail Exponents. (arXiv:1210.1966v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

In the presence of a layer of metaprobabilities (from uncertainty concerning the parameters), the asymptotic tail exponent corresponds to the lowest possible tail exponent regardless of its probability. The problem explains "Black Swan" effects, i.e., why measurements tend to chronically underestimate tail contributions, rather than merely deliver imprecise but unbiased estimates.

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

Deployment of emerging technologies and rapid change in industries has created a lot of risk for initiating the new projects. Many techniques and suggestions have been introduced but still lack the gap from various prospective. This paper proposes a reliable project scheduling approach. The objectives of project scheduling approach are to focus on critical chain schedule and risk management....

Published / Preprint: Smooth Nonparametric Bernstein Vine Copulas. (arXiv:1210.2043v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We propose to use nonparametric Bernstein copulas as bivariate pair-copulas in high-dimensional vine models. The resulting smooth and nonparametric vine copulas completely obviate the error-prone need for choosing the pair-copulas from parametric copula families. By means of a simulation study and an empirical analysis of financial market data, we show that our proposed smooth nonparametric vine...

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

The inequality of wealth distribution is a universal phenomenon in the civilized nations, and it is often imputed to the Matthew effect, that is, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Some philosophers unjustified this phenomenon and tried to put the human civilization upon the evenness of wealth. Noticing the facts that 1) the emergence of the centralism is the starting point of human...

Published / Preprint: Local Risk-Minimization under the Benchmark Approach. (arXiv:1210.2337v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 08 Oct 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We study the pricing and hedging of derivatives in incomplete financial markets by considering the local risk-minimization method in the context of the benchmark approach, which will be called benchmarked local risk-minimization. We show that the proposed benchmarked local risk-minimization allows to handle under extremely weak assumptions a much richer modeling world than the classical...

Julian Reiss Abstract In this article, the author argues that simulation is an undervalued technique to draw conclusions about empirical phenomena in economics. If the aim is to learn about the behavior of socioeconomic systems of interest, simulations have a variety of advantages relative to alternatives such as mathematical (pen and paper) modeling and laboratory experimentation.
