Published / Preprint: A system of non-local parabolic PDE and application in option pricing. (arXiv:1506.01467v1 [math.AP])

Posted: 04 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

This paper includes a proof of well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem involving a system of non-local parabolic PDE which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model which is known as a semi-Markov modulated GBM model. We study the well-posedness of the problem via a Volterra integral equation of second kind. A probabilistic approach,...

Published / Preprint: Local risk-minimization for Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models with volatility risk premium. (arXiv:1506.01477v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 04 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We derive representations of local risk-minimization of call and put options for Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models: jump type stochastic volatility models whose squared volatility process is given by a non-Gaussian rnstein-Uhlenbeck process. The general form of Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models includes two parameters: volatility risk premium $\beta$ and leverage effect $\rho$....

The availability of data on digital traces is growing to unprecedented sizes, but inferring actionable knowledge from large-scale data is far from being trivial. This is especially important for computational finance, where digital traces of human behavior offer a great potential to drive trading strategies. We contribute to this by providing a consistent approach that integrates various...

Published / Preprint: Transition from lognormal to chi-square superstatistics for financial time series. (arXiv:1506.01660v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 04 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Share price returns on different time scales can be well modelled by a superstatistical dynamics. Here we provide an investigation which type of superstatistics is most suitable to properly describe share price dynamics on various time scales. It is shown that while chi-square superstatistics works well on a time scale of days, on a much smaller time scale of minutes the price changes are better...

I just came back from sabbatical, it was great, but you knew that already. I’ve come back charged up and with stars in my eyes from what some of my colleagues call a sect, Singularity University. Well true that the founders want to make the world a better place, and that some of them could become god-wannabes when they will have artificial intelligence implanted in their brains and will have...
