Blog Post: TheAlephBlog: Why it is Hard to Win in Investing Posted: 26 Apr 2014 05:18 AM PDT Before I start this evening, I want to say something about many investment books that I have been reading of late. Â In terms of information toward the stated goal of the book, there is often a lot of build up, some of it necessary, some not, some of it interesting, some not, occasionally some unique insights, but most of the time not. Â Much of it is filler that could be eliminated. Â And, if... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:39 PM PDT We study a Markov-Functional (MF) interest-rate model with Uncertain Volatility Displaced Diffusion (UVDD) digital mapping, which is consistent with the volatility-smile phenomenon observed in the option market. We first check the impact of pricing Bermudan swaptions by the model. Next, we also investigate the future smiles implied by the MF models and the smile dynamics implied by the UVDD...

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:39 PM PDT A new Input-Output model, called the Multi-Entity Input-Output (MEIO) model, is introduced to estimate the responsibility of entities of an ecosystem on the footprint of each other. It assumed that the ecosystem is comprised of end users, service providers, and utilities. The proposed MEIO modeling approach can be seen as a realization of the Everybody-in-the-Loop (EitL) framework, which promotes... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:39 PM PDT I show the equivalence between a model of financial contagion and the threshold model of global cascades proposed by Watts (2002). The model financial network comprises banks that hold risky external assets as well as interbank assets. It is shown that a simple threshold model can replicate the size and the frequency of financial contagion without using information about individual balance...

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 05:30 PM PDT The negative externalities from an individual bank failure to the whole system can be huge. One of the key purposes of bank regulation is to internalize the social costs of potential bank failures via capital charges. This study proposes a method to evaluate and allocate the systemic risk to different countries/regions using a SIR type of epidemic spreading model and the Shapley value in game...

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 02:18 AM PDT This paper examines how the Tokyo and Osaka rice futures markets in prewar Japan were evolving in view of market efficiency. Applying a non-Bayesian time-varying model approach to analyze the famous equation for the futures premium, we find that the market efficiency of the two major rice futures markets varied with time. Such time-varying structure of the rice futures markets in prewar Japan... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 23 Apr 2014 02:18 AM PDT This is a follow up of our previous paper - Trybu{\l}a and Zawisza \cite{TryZaw}, where we considered a modification of a monotone mean-variance functional in continuous time in stochastic factor model. In this article we address the problem of optimizing the mentioned functional in a market with a stochastic interest rate. We formulate it as a stochastic differential game problem and use...

Blog Post: ThePracticalQuant: Verticalized Big Data applications Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:32 AM PDT [A version of this post appears on the O'Reilly Data blog.]As much as I love talking about general-purpose big data platforms and data science frameworks, I'm the first to admit that many of the interesting startups I talk to are focused on specific verticals. At their core big data applications merge large amounts of real-time and static data to improve decision-making:This simple idea can be... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Published / Preprint: Spectral Model of Turnover Reduction. (arXiv:1404.5050v1 [q-fin.GN]) Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT When trades are crossed between multiple alpha streams, portfolio turnover decreases. Turnover reduction needs to be taken into account for optimizing asset allocation to these alphas. We propose a spectral model of turnover reduction for a general alpha correlation matrix in the limit where the number of alphas is large. Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT We derive high-order compact finite difference schemes for option pricing in stochastic volatility models on non-uniform grids. The schemes are fourth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time for vanishing correlation. In our numerical study we obtain high-order numerical convergence also for non-zero correlation and non-smooth payoffs which are typical in option pricing. In all...

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT We derive a new high-order compact finite difference scheme for option pricing in stochastic volatility models. The scheme is fourth-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time. Under some restrictions, theoretical results like unconditional stability in the sense of von Neumann are presented. Where the analysis becomes too involved we validate our findings by a numerical study.... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT In portfolio optimization problems, the minimum expected investment risk is not always smaller than the expected minimal investment risk. That is, using a well-known approach from operations research, it is possible to derive a strategy that minimizes the expected investment risk, but this strategy does not always result in the best rate of return on assets. Prior to making investment decisions,... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT Reconstruction of density functions and their characteristic functions by radial basis functions with scattered data points is a popular topic in the theory of pricing of basket options. Such functions are usually entire or admit an analytic extension into an appropriate tube and "bell-shaped" with rapidly decaying tails. Unfortunately, the domain of such functions is not compact which creates... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
