Published / Preprint: Statistical Properties and Pre-hit Dynamics of Price Limit Hits in the Chinese Stock Markets. (arXiv:1503.03548v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Price limit trading rules are adopted in some stock markets (especially emerging markets) trying to cool off traders' short-term trading mania on individual stocks and increase market efficiency. Under such a microstructure, stocks may hit their up-limits and down-limits from time to time. However, the behaviors of price limit hits are not well studied partially due to the fact that main stock...

Published / Preprint: Profitable forecast of prices of stock options on real market data via the solution of an ill-posed problem for the Black-Scholes equation. (arXiv:1503.03567v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 05:37 PM PDT

A new mathematical model for the Black-Scholes equation is proposed to forecast option prices. This model includes new interval for the price of the underlying stock as well as new initial and boundary conditions. Conventional notions of maturity time and strike prices are not used. The Black-Scholes equation is solved as a parabolic equation with the reversed time, which is an ill-posed problem....

Published / Preprint: Numerical approximations for Heston-Hull-White type models. (arXiv:1503.03705v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We study a hybrid tree-finite difference method which permits to obtain efficient and accurate European and American option prices in the Heston Hull-White and Heston Hull-White2d models. Moreover, as a by-product, we provide a new simulation scheme to be used for Monte Carlo evaluations. Numerical results show the reliability and the efficiency of the proposed methods

Published / Preprint: Bounds for randomly shared risk of heavy-tailed loss factors. (arXiv:1503.03726v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 05:37 PM PDT

For a risk vector $V$, whose components are shared among agents by some random mechanism, we obtain asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the agents' exposure risk and the systemic risk in the market. Risk is measured by Value-at-Risk or Conditional Tail Expectation. We assume Pareto tails for the components of $V$ and arbitrary dependence structure in a multivariate regular variation setting....

Blog Post: WealthandCapitalMarketsBlog: Surprised Wealthfront's Adam Nash Took Off the Gloves? You Shouldnât Be.

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 12:36 PM PDT

In my last post I discussed the contretemps between Wealthfront and Charles Schwab. Here I look at what Adam Nash’s salvo across the Charles Schwab bow suggests about where he’s taking his fast-growing firm, and about his leadership style. The readiness of Nash (after barely a year as CEO) to go after Schwab reflects a changing of the guard on three fronts.read more...

Published / Preprint: Negative Dependence Concept in Copulas and the Marginal Free Herd Behavior Index. (arXiv:1503.03180v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 05:46 PM PDT

We provide a set of copulas that can be interpreted as having the negative extreme dependence. This set of copulas is interesting because it coincides with countermonotonic copula for a bivariate case, and more importantly, is shown to be minimal in concordance ordering in the sense that no copula exists which is strictly smaller than the given copula outside the proposed copula set. Admitting...

Published / Preprint: Symmetry structure and solution of evolution-type equations with time dependent parameters in financial Mathematics. (arXiv:1503.03194v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 05:46 PM PDT

Mathematical models with time dependent parameters are of great interest in financial Mathematics because they capture real life scenarios in the financial market. In this study, via the Lie group technique, we analyse evolution-type equations with time dependent parameters and give the general symmetry structure of these equations. In addition, we illustrate this method by looking at an example...
