Published / Preprint: Bankruptcy Risk Induced by Career Concerns of Regulators. (arXiv:1312.7346v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:39 PM PST

We introduce a model in which a regulator employs mechanism design to embed her human capital beta signal(s) in a firm's capital structure, in order to enhance the value of her post career change indexed executive stock option contract with the firm. We prove that the agency cost of this revolving door behavior increases the firm's financial leverage, bankruptcy risk, and affects estimation of...

Published / Preprint: What does the financial market pricing do? A simulation analysis with a view to systemic volatility, exuberance and vagary. (arXiv:1312.7460v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:39 PM PST

Biondi et al. (2012) develop an analytical model to examine the emergent dynamic properties of share market price formation over time, capable to capture important stylized facts. These latter properties prove to be sensitive to regulatory regimes for fundamental information provision, as well as to market confidence conditions among actual and potential investors. Regimes based upon...

Published / Preprint: Modeling public collaborative processes: The case of safeguarding financial stability. (arXiv:1312.7545v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:39 PM PST

This paper introduces the notion of public collaborative processes (PCPs) to the field of Business Process Management (BPM). PCPs involve multiple organizations with a common objective, where a number of dispersed organizations cooperating under various unstructured forms take a collaborative approach to reaching the final goal. This paper exemplifies the analysis of PCPs with the case of...

Published / Preprint: A Global Game with Heterogenous Priors. (arXiv:1312.7860v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:39 PM PST

This paper relaxes the common prior assumption in the public and private information game of Morris and Shin (2000, 2004). For the generalized game, where the agent's prior expectations are heterogenous, it derives a sharp condition for the emergence of unique/multiple equilibria. This condition indicates that unique equilibria are played if player's public disagreement is substantial. If...

Published / Preprint: A family of density expansions for L\'evy-type processes. (arXiv:1312.7328v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 05:38 PM PST

We consider a defaultable asset whose risk-neutral pricing dynamics are described by an exponential Levy-type martingale subject to default. This class of models allows for local volatility, local default intensity, and a locally dependent Levy measure. Generalizing and extending the novel adjoint expansion technique of Pagliarani, Pascucci, and Riga (2013), we derive a family of asymptotic...

Published / Preprint: Exact Simulation of Non-stationary Reflected Brownian Motion. (arXiv:1312.6456v1 [math.PR] CROSS LISTED)

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 05:38 PM PST

This paper develops the first method for the exact simulation of reflected Brownian motion (RBM) with non-stationary drift and infinitesimal variance. The running time of generating exact samples of non-stationary RBM at any time $t$ is uniformly bounded by $\mathcal{O}(1/\bar\gamma^2)$ where $\bar\gamma$ is the average drift of the process. The method can be used as a guide...

Blog Post: ThePracticalQuant: Six reasons why I recommend scikit-learn

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 03:47 PM PST

[A version of this post appears on the O'Reilly Data blog.]I use a variety of tools for advanced analytics, most recently I've been using Spark (and MLlib), R, scikit-learn, and GraphLab. When I need to get something done quickly, I've been turning to scikit-learn for my first pass analysis. For access to high-quality, easy-to-use, implementations1 of popular algorithms, scikit-learn is a great...
