Blog Post: TheAlephBlog: Funding What Should Not Be Funded

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 11:25 PM PST

With the Fed engaging in financial repression (maybe that should be oppression, the only role of the Fed is to steal from savers…) there are many corporate bonds being issued at low yields, some of which  are at lower yields than losses that we experience during crises for the ratings class.  Should this not be a warning sign?  Yes, it should.read more...

Published / Preprint: Homogenization and asymptotics for small transaction costs: the multidimensional case. (arXiv:1212.6275v1 [math.AP])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

In the context of the multi-dimensional infinite horizon optimal consumption-investment problem with proportional transaction costs, we provide the first order expansion in small transact costs. Similar to the one-dimensional derivation in our accompanying paper [42], the asymptotic expansion is expressed in terms of a singular ergodic control problem, and our arguments are based on the theory of...

Published / Preprint: The Kinetics of Wealth and the Origin of the Pareto Law. (arXiv:1212.6300v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

An important class of economic models involve agents whose wealth changes due to transactions with other agents. Several authors have pointed out an analogy with kinetic theory, which describes molecules whose momentum and energy changes due to interactions with other molecules. We pursue this analogy and derive a Boltzmann equation for the time evolution of the wealth distribution of a...

Published / Preprint: Co-action equilibria and strategy switchings in a stochastic minority game. (arXiv:1212.6601v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

We study a variation of the minority game, in which each agent uses a probabilistic strategy, and tries to optimize her total expected weighted future payoff, the weight of the payoff after $\tau$ days being $(1 - \lambda) \lambda^\tau$, with $\lambda < 1$. We show that standard Nash equilibrium concept is unsatisfactory in this case, and propose an alternative,...

Published / Preprint: A Fourier Approach to the Computation of CV@R and Optimized Certainty Equivalents. (arXiv:1212.6732v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

We consider the class of risk measures associated with optimized certainty equivalents. This class includes several popular examples, such as CV@R and the entropic risk measure. We develop numerical schemes for the computation of such risk measures using Fourier transform methods. This leads to a very competitive method for the calculation of CV@R in particular, which is comparable...

Published / Preprint: The normaly distributed daily returns in stock trading. (arXiv:1212.6791v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

In this report, we talked about a new quantitative strategy for choosing the optimal(s) stock(s) to trade. The basic notions are generally very known by the financial community. The key here is to understand 1) the standard score applied to a sample and 2) the correlation factor applied to different time series in real life. These notions are the core of our research. We are going to begin with...

Published / Preprint: La structure du capital et la profitabilit&#92;'e: Le cas des entreprises industrielles fran&#92;c{c}aises. (arXiv:1212.6795v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of capital structure on profitability. This impact can be explained by three essential theories: signaling theory, tax theory and the agency costs theory. A sample of 1846 French industrial firms are taken over the period 1999-2006, as a dynamic panel study by using the generalized method of moments (GMM). We show that capital structure has...

Published / Preprint: Self-organized criticality in a network of economic agents with finite consumption. (arXiv:1009.5830v2 [q-fin.GN] UPDATED)

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 05:31 PM PST

We introduce a simple model for addressing the controversy in the study of financial systems, sometimes taken as brownian-like processes and other as critical systems with fluctuations of arbitrary magnitude. The model considers a collection of economical agents which establish trade connections among them according to basic economical principles properly translated into physical properties and...
