Published / Preprint: Efficient Network Structures with Separable Heterogeneous Connection Costs. (arXiv:1504.06634v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 27 Apr 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We introduce a heterogeneous connection model for network formation to capture the effect of cost heterogeneity on the structure of efficient networks. In the proposed model, connection costs are assumed to be separable, which means the total connection cost for each agent is uniquely proportional to its degree. For these sets of networks, we provide the analytical solution for the efficient...

Published / Preprint: Network Structure and Counterparty Credit Risk. (arXiv:1504.06789v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 27 Apr 2015 05:37 PM PDT

In this paper we offer a novel type of network model, which is capable of capturing the precise structure of a financial market based, for example, on empirical findings. With the attached stochastic framework it is further possible to study how an arbitrary network structure and its expected counterparty credit risk are analytically related to each other. This allows us, for the first time, to...

Published / Preprint: The Social Cost of Carbon with Economic and Climate Risks. (arXiv:1504.06909v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 27 Apr 2015 05:37 PM PDT

There is great uncertainty about future climate conditions and the appropriate policies for managing interactions between the climate and the economy. We develop a multidimensional computational model to examine how uncertainties and risks in the economic and climate systems affect the social cost of carbon (SCC)---that is, the present value of the marginal damage to economic output caused by...

Published / Preprint: Dynamic Interaction Between Asset Prices and Bank Behavior: A Systemic Risk Perspective. (arXiv:1504.07152v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 27 Apr 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Systemic risk in banking systems is a crucial issue that remains to be completely addressed. In our toy model, banks are exposed to two sources of risks, namely, market risk from their investments in assets external to the system and credit risk from their lending in the interbank market. By and large, both risks increase during severe financial turmoil. Under this scenario, the paper shows how...

Published / Preprint: Communication Strategies for Low-Latency Trading. (arXiv:1504.07227v1 [cs.IT])

Posted: 27 Apr 2015 05:37 PM PDT

The possibility of latency arbitrage in financial markets has led to the deployment of high-speed communication links between distant financial centers. These links are noisy and so there is a need for coding. In this paper, we develop a gametheoretic model of trading behavior where two traders compete to capture latency arbitrage opportunities using binary signalling. Different coding schemes...
