Blog Post: TheAlephBlog: Fire and Ice Posted: 01 Feb 2014 07:00 PM PST This is a hard time to be managing fixed income. Yes, if you are at a big shop with access to deal flow, not so bad — but when you are small like me and have limited tools for a small client base (less than 10% of my assets are fixed income… smart people, because I am better at equity investing) it is really difficult.read more...

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 01:59 AM PST We introduce a multi-factor stochastic volatility model based on the CIR/Heston stochastic volatility process. In order to capture the Samuelson effect displayed by commodity futures contracts, we add expiry-dependent exponential damping factors to their volatility coefficients. The pricing of single underlying European options on futures contracts is straightforward and can incorporate the... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 05:38 PM PST Historically, the banking multiplier has been in a range of 4 to 100, with 25% to 1% reserve ratios at most layers of the banking system encompassing the majority of its range in recent centuries. Here it is shown that multipliers over 1 000 can occur from a new mechanism in banking. This new multiplier uses a default insurance note to insure an outstanding loan in order to return the value of... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 29 Jan 2014 05:38 PM PST In order to model volatile real-world network behavior, we analyze phase-flipping dynamical scale-free network in which nodes and links fail and recover. We investigate how stochasticity in a parameter governing the recovery process affects phase-flipping dynamics, and find the probability that no more than q% of nodes and links fail. We derive higher moments of the fractions of active nodes and... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 29 Jan 2014 05:38 PM PST Speculative bubbles have been occurring periodically in local or global real estate markets and are considered a potential cause of economic crises. In this context, the detection of explosive behaviors in the financial market and the implementation of early warning diagnosis tests are of critical importance. The recent increase in Brazilian housing prices has risen concerns that the Brazilian... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Published / Preprint: Self-affinity in financial asset returns. (arXiv:1401.7170v1 [q-fin.ST]) Posted: 28 Jan 2014 05:30 PM PST We test for departures from normal and independent and identically distributed (NIID) returns, when returns under the alternative hypothesis are self-affine. Self-affine returns are either fractionally integrated and long-range dependent, or drawn randomly from an L-stable distribution with infinite higher-order moments. The finite sample performance of estimators of the two forms of... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Published / Preprint: Option Pricing of Twin Assets. (arXiv:1401.6735v1 [q-fin.PR]) Posted: 27 Jan 2014 05:38 PM PST How to price and hedge claims on nontraded assets are becoming increasingly important matters in option pricing theory today. The most common practice to deal with these issues is to use another similar or "closely related" asset or index which is traded, for hedging purposes. Implicitly, traders assume here that the higher the correlation between the traded and nontraded assets, the better the... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 27 Jan 2014 05:38 PM PST The term structure of credit spreads is studied with an aim to predict its future movements. A completely new approach to tackle this problem is presented, which utilizes nonlinear parametric models. The Brain-Cousens regression model with five parameters is chosen to describe the term structure of credit spreads. Further, we investigate the dependence of the parameter changes over time and the... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 26 Jan 2014 05:37 PM PST In this article, we consider European options of type $h(X^1_T, X^2_T,\ldots, X^n_T)$ depending on several underlying assets. We study how such options can be valued in terms of simple vanilla options in non-specified market models. We consider different approaches related to static hedging and derive several pricing formulas for a wide class of payoff functions $h:\R_+^n\rightarrow...

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 05:37 PM PST In this paper we consider a multivariate model-based approach to measure the dynamic evolution of tail risk interdependence among US banks, financial services and insurance sectors. To deeply investigate the risk contribution of insurers we consider separately life and non-life companies. To achieve this goal we apply the multivariate student-t Markov Switching model and the Multiple-CoVaR (CoES)... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Published / Preprint: Estimate nothing. (arXiv:1401.5666v1 [q-fin.CP]) Posted: 22 Jan 2014 06:02 PM PST In the econometrics of financial time series, it is customary to take some parametric model for the data, and then estimate the parameters from historical data. This approach suffers from several problems. Firstly, how is estimation error to be quantified, and then taken into account when making statements about the future behaviour of the observed time series? Secondly, decisions may be taken...

Posted: 22 Jan 2014 03:12 AM PST Company mergers and acquisitions are often perceived to act as catalysts for corporate growth in free markets systems: it is conventional wisdom that those activities lead to better and more efficient markets. However, the broad adoption of this perception into corporate strategy is prone to result in a less diverse and more unstable environment, dominated by either very large or very small niche...
