The ability to adequately model risks is crucial for insurance companies. The method of "Copula-based hierarchical risk aggregation" by Arbenz et al. offers a flexible way in doing so and has attracted much attention recently.

Published / Preprint: How log-normal is your country? An analysis of the statistical distribution of the exported volumes of products. (arXiv:1506.03597v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 11 Jun 2015 05:38 PM PDT

We have considered the statistical distributions of the volumes of the different products exported by 148 countries. We have found that the form of these distributions is not unique but heavily depends on the level of development of the nation, as expressed by macroeconomic indicators like GDP, GDP per capita, total export and a recently introduced measure for countries' economic complexity...

Published / Preprint: Convergence of Estimated Option Price in a Regime switching Market. (arXiv:1506.03621v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 11 Jun 2015 05:38 PM PDT

In an observed generalized semi-Markov regime, estimation of transition rate of regime switching leads towards calculation of locally risk minimizing option price. Despite the uniform convergence of estimated step function of transition rate, to meet the existence of classical solution of the modified price equation, the estimator is approximated in the class of smooth functions and furthermore,...

We focus on the influence of external sources of information upon financial markets. In particular, we develop a stochastic agent-based market model characterized by a certain herding behavior as well as allowing traders to be influenced by an external dynamic signal of information. This signal can be interpreted as a time-varying advertising, public perception or rumor, in favor or against one...

Published / Preprint: From Walras' auctioneer to continuous time double auctions: A general dynamic theory of supply and demand. (arXiv:1506.03758v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 11 Jun 2015 05:38 PM PDT

In standard Walrasian auctions, the price of a good is defined as the point where the supply and demand curves intersect. Since both curves are generically regular, the response to small perturbations is linearly small. However, a crucial ingredient is absent of the theory, namely transactions themselves. What happens after they occur? To answer the question, we develop a dynamic theory for...
