Published / Preprint: A statistical equilibrium representation of markets as complex networks. (arXiv:1307.0817v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 05:40 PM PDT

We represent an exchange economy in terms of statistical ensembles for complex networks by introducing the concept of market configuration. In this way, starting from economic reasoning, we obtain a sound interpretation of the typical network variables in terms of thermodynamic quantities together with a strong consistency with microeconomic theory, and in particular with Walrasian general...

Published / Preprint: Maximization of recursive utilities under convex portfolio constraints. (arXiv:1307.0872v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 05:40 PM PDT

We study a robust maximization problem from terminal wealth and consumption under a convex constraints on the portfolio. We state the existence and the uniqueness of the consumption-investment strategy by studying the associated quadratic backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE in short). We characterize the optimal control by using the duality method and deriving a dynamic maximum...

Published / Preprint: Assessing Financial Model Risk. (arXiv:1307.0684v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 05:28 AM PDT

Model risk has a huge impact on any risk measurement procedure and its quantification is therefore a crucial step. In this paper, we introduce three quantitative measures of model risk when choosing a particular reference model within a given class: the absolute measure of model risk, the relative measure of model risk and the local measure of model risk. Each of the measures has a specific...

Published / Preprint: Explicit Description of HARA Forward Utilities and Their Optimal Portfolios. (arXiv:1307.0785v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 05:28 AM PDT

This paper deals with forward performances of HARA type. Precisely, for a market model in which stock price processes are modeled by a locally bounded $d$-dimensional semimartingale, we elaborate a complete and explicit characterization for this type of forward utilities. Furthermore, the optimal portfolios for each of these forward utilities are explicitly described. Our approach is based on the...
