Waiting for the muse to call

Posted: 14 Dec 2012 03:07 AM PST

It’s been a month since I last blogged.  It’s not because I don’t care, it’s because I wasn’t getting any inspiration about what to write.  In the end, it’s this lack of inspiration that has become the spur, although not directly.read more...

Published / Preprint: Smooth Value Function with Applications in Wealth-CVaR Efficient Portfolio and Turnpike Property. (arXiv:1212.3137v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

In this paper we continue the study of Bian-Miao-Zheng (2011) and extend the results there to a more general class of utility functions which may be bounded and non-strictly-concave and show that there is a classical solution to the HJB equation with the dual control method. We then apply the results to study the efficient frontier of wealth and conditional VaR (CVaR) problem and the turnpike...

Published / Preprint: Optimal Liquidation in a Finite Time Regime Switching Model with Permanent and Temporary Pricing Impact. (arXiv:1212.3145v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

In this paper we discuss the optimal liquidation over a finite time horizon until the exit time. The drift and diffusion terms of the asset price are general functions depending on all variables including control and market regime. There is also a local nonlinear transaction cost associated to the liquidation. The model deals with both the permanent impact and the temporary impact in a regime...

Published / Preprint: Lower Bound Approximation to Basket Option Values for Local Volatility Jump-Diffusion Models. (arXiv:1212.3147v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

In this paper we derive an easily computed approximation of Rogers and Shi's lower bound for a local volatility jump-diffusion model and then use it to approximate European basket option values. If the local volatility function is time independent then there is a closed-form expression for the approximation. Numerical tests show that the lower bound approximation is fast and accurate...

Published / Preprint: Non stationary multifractality in stock returns. (arXiv:1212.3195v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

We report evidence that empirical data show time varying multifractal properties. This is obtained by comparing empirical observations of the weighted generalised Hurst exponent (wGHE) with time series simulated via Multifractal Random Walk (MRW) by Bacry \textit{et al.} [\textit{E.Bacry, J.Delour and J.Muzy, Phys.Rev.E \,{\bf 64} 026103, 2001}]. While dynamical wGHE computed on...

Published / Preprint: The Illusion of the Perpetual Money Machine

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:27 AM PST

We argue that the present crisis and stalling economy continuing since 2007 are rooted in the delusionary belief in policies based on a "perpetual money machine" type of thinking. We document strong evidence that, since the early 1980s, consumption has been increasingly funded by smaller savings, booming financial profits, wealth extracted from house price appreciation and explosive debt. This is...

Published / Preprint: Mining the Web for the Voice of the Herd to Track Stock Market Bubbles

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:27 AM PST

We show that power-law analyses of financial commentaries from newspaper web-sites can be used to identify stock market bubbles, supplementing traditional volatility analyses. Using a four-year corpus of 17,713 online, finance-related articles (10M+ words) from the Financial Times, the New York Times, and the BBC, we show that week-to-week changes in power-law distributions reflect market...

Published / Preprint: Evolution of Cooperation on Spatially Embedded Networks

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:27 AM PST

In this work we study the behavior of classical two-person, two-strategies evolutionary games on networks embedded in a Euclidean two-dimensional space with different kinds of degree distributions and topologies going from regular to random, and to scale-free ones. Using several imitative microscopic dynamics, we study the evolution of global cooperation on the above network classes and find that...

Published / Preprint: Fractional Quantum Field Theory, Path Integral, and Stochastic Differential Equation for Strongly Interacting Many-Particle Systems

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 08:27 AM PST

While free and weakly interacting particles are well described by a a second-quantized nonlinear Schr\"odinger field, or relativistic versions of it, the fields of strongly interacting particles are governed by effective actions, whose quadratic terms are extremized by fractional wave equations. Their particle orbits perform universal L\'evy walks rather than Gaussian random walks with...
