Published / Preprint: Random Matrix Theory and Cross-correlations in Global Financial Indices and Local Stock Market Indices. (arXiv:1302.6305v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 05:35 PM PST

We analyzed cross-correlations between price fluctuations of global financial indices (20 daily stock indices over the world) and local indices (daily indices of 200 companies in the Korean stock market) by using random matrix theory (RMT). We compared eigenvalues and components of the largest and the second largest eigenvectors of the cross-correlation matrix before, during, and after the global...

Published / Preprint: Swing options in commodity markets: A multidimensional L\'evy diffusion model. (arXiv:1302.6399v1 [q-fin.PR])

We study valuation of swing options on commodity markets when the commodity prices are driven by multiple factors. The factors are modeled as diffusion processes driven by a multidimensional L\'evy process. We set up a valuation model in terms of a dynamic programming problem where the option can be exercised continuously in time. Here, the number of swing rights is given by a total volume...

Published / Preprint: Signal amplification in an agent-based herding model. (arXiv:1302.6477v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 05:35 PM PST

A growing part of the behavioral finance literature has addressed some of the stylized facts of financial time series as macroscopic patterns emerging from herding interactions among groups of agents with heterogeneous trading strategies and a limited rationality. We extend a stochastic herding formalism introduced for the modeling of decision making among financial agents, in order to take also...

Published / Preprint: Asymptotic arbitrage in the Heston model. (arXiv:1302.6491v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 05:35 PM PST

In the context of the Heston model, we establish a precise link between the set of equivalent martingale measures, the ergodicity of the underlying variance process and the concept of asymptotic arbitrage proposed in Kabanov-Kramkov and in Follmer-Schachermayer.
