Published / Preprint: A Fokker-Planck description for the queue dynamics of large tick stocks

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:14 AM PDT

Motivated by empirical data, we develop a statistical description of the queue dynamics for large tick assets based on a two-dimensional Fokker-Planck (diffusion) equation, that explicitly includes state dependence, i.e. the fact that the drift and diffusion depends on the volume present on both sides of the spread. "Jump" events, corresponding to sudden changes of the best limit price, must also...

Published / Preprint: Government Solvency, Austerity and Fiscal Consolidation in the OECD: A Keynesian Appraisal of Transversality and No Ponzi Game Conditions

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:14 AM PDT

This paper investigates the relevance of the No-Ponzi game condition for public debt (i.e. the public debt growth rate has to be lower than the real interest rate, a necessary assumption for Ricardian equivalence) and of the transversality condition for the GDP growth rate (i.e. the GDP growth rate has to be lower than the real interest rate). First, on the unbalanced panel of 21 countries from...

Published / Preprint: Selection and Influence in Cultural Dynamics

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:14 AM PDT

One of the fundamental principles driving diversity or homogeneity in domains such as cultural differentiation, political affiliation, and product adoption is the tension between two forces: influence (the tendency of people to become similar to others they interact with) and selection (the tendency to be affected most by the behavior of others who are already similar). Influence tends to promote...

Published / Preprint: On the Dividend Strategies with Non-Exponential Discounting. (arXiv:1304.7878v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper, we study the dividend strategies for a shareholder with non-constant discount rate in a diffusion risk model. We assume that the dividends can only be paid at a bounded rate and restrict ourselves to the Markov strategies. This is a time inconsistent control problem. The extended HJB equation is given and the verification theorem is proved for a general discount function....

Published / Preprint: Mean-Variance Asset-Liability Management with State-Dependent Risk Aversion. (arXiv:1304.7882v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper, we consider the asset-liability management under the mean-variance criterion. The financial market consists of a risk-free bond and a stock whose price process is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. The liability of the investor is uncontrollable and is modeled by another geometric Brownian motion. We consider a specific state-dependent risk aversion which depends on a power...

Published / Preprint: Maximum Lebesgue Extension of Monotone Convex Functions. (arXiv:1304.7934v1 [math.FA])

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 05:32 PM PDT

Given a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded random variables with the Lebesgue property (order continuity), we consider its extension preserving the Lebesgue property to as big solid vector space of random variables as possible. We show that there exists a maximum such extension, with explicit construction, where the maximum domain of extension is obtained as a (possibly...
