Published / Preprint: Asymptotic Glosten Milgrom equilibrium. (arXiv:1310.4994v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 05:37 PM PDT

This paper studies the Glosten Milgrom model whose risky asset value admits an arbitrary discrete distribution. Contrast to existing results on insider's models, the insider's optimal strategy in this model, if exists, is not of feedback type. Therefore a weak formulation of equilibrium is proposed. In this weak formulation, the inconspicuous trade theorem still holds, but the optimality for the...

Published / Preprint: Mirror and Synchronous Couplings of Geometric Brownian Motions. (arXiv:1304.1999v2 [math.PR] CROSS LISTED)

The paper studies the question of whether the classical mirror and synchronous couplings of two Brownian motions minimise and maximise, respectively, the coupling time of the corresponding geometric Brownian motions. We establish a characterisation of the optimality of the two couplings over any finite time horizon and show that, unlike in the case of Brownian motion, the optimality fails in...

Blog Post: TheAlephBlog: On Negative Book Reviews

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 10:50 PM PDT

Occasionally, I write negative book reviews.  I am not always right, but sometimes I locate books that are not up to par, or are downright mistaken.  I try to back up my findings with facts, but there is still a problem.  If I publish the negative review at Amazon, it is in the interests of the author and publisher to recruit people to vote my review down.  My Amazon reviewer rank isn’t...
