Published / Preprint: New: How Efficiency Shapes Market Impact

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 10:23 PM PDT

We develop a theory for the market impact of large trading orders, which we call metaorders because they are typically split into small pieces and executed incrementally. Market impact is empirically observed to be a concave function of metaorder size, i.e. the impact per share of large metaorders is smaller than that of small metaorders. We formulate a stylized model of an algorithmic...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: A New Low Vol Theory

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 07:31 PM PDT

Value and Size are common strategies based on the higher-than-average return to value and small cap stocks, and one can mention the value or size 'factor' that presumably causes this to happen without much explanation. It's a 'risk' factor to many, because small cap and value stocks generate statitical out-performance, which can only persist if there is risk associated with it.  As to what...

Published / Preprint: Two unconditionally implied parameters and volatility smiles and skews. (arXiv:1303.4847v1 [q-fin.CP])

The paper studies estimation of parameters of diffusion market models from historical data. The standard definition of implied volatility for these models presents its value as an implicit function of several parameters, including the risk-free interest rate. In reality, the risk free interest rate is unknown and need to be forecasted, because the option price depends on its future...

Published / Preprint: The Identification of Thresholds and Time Delay in Self-Exciting Threshold a Model by Wavelet. (arXiv:1303.4867v1 [math-ph])

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper we studied about the wavelet identification of the thresholds and time delay for more general case without the constraint that the time delay is smaller than the order of the model. Here we composed an empirical wavelet from the SETAR (Self-Exciting Threshold Autoregressive) model and identified the thresholds and time delay in the model using it.
