Published / Preprint: Stochastic model of financial markets reproducing scaling and memory in volatility return intervals. (arXiv:1507.05203v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 20 Jul 2015 05:36 PM PDT

We investigate the volatility return intervals in the NYSE and FOREX markets. We explain previous empirical findings using a model based on the interacting agent hypothesis instead of the widely-used efficient market hypothesis. We derive macroscopic equations based on the microscopic herding interactions of agents and find that they are able to reproduce various stylized facts of different...

Published / Preprint: Endogenous Derivation and Forecast of Lifetime PDs. (arXiv:1507.05415v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 20 Jul 2015 05:36 PM PDT

This paper proposes a simple technical approach for the derivation of future (forward) point-in-time PD forecasts, with minimal data requirements. The inputs required are the current and future through-the-cycle PDs of the obligors, their last known default rates, and a measure for the systematic dependence of the obligors. Technically, the forecasts are made from within a classical asset-based...
