Published / Preprint: A risk analysis for a system stabilized by a central agent. (arXiv:1507.08333v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 30 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We formulate and analyze a multi-agent model for the evolution of individual and systemic risk in which the local agents interact with each other through a central agent who, in turn, is influenced by the mean field of the local agents. The central agent is stabilized by a bistable potential, the only stabilizing force in the system. The local agents derive their stability only from the central...

Published / Preprint: Detect & Describe: Deep learning of bank stress in the news. (arXiv:1507.07870v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 28 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

News is a pertinent source of information on financial risks and stress factors, which nevertheless is challenging to harness due to the sparse and unstructured nature of natural text. We propose an approach based on distributional semantics and deep learning with neural networks to model and link text to a scarce set of bank distress events. Through unsupervised training, we learn semantic...

Published / Preprint: How to predict the consequences of a tick value change? Evidence from the Tokyo Stock Exchange pilot program. (arXiv:1507.07052v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

The tick value is a crucial component of market design and is often considered the most suitable tool to mitigate the effects of high frequency trading. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that the approach introduced in Dayri and Rosenbaum (2015) allows for an ex ante assessment of the consequences of a tick value change on the microstructure of an asset. To that purpose, we analyze the...

Published / Preprint: Forecasting Leading Death Causes in Australia using Extended CreditRisk$+$. (arXiv:1507.07162v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Recently we developed a new framework in Hirz et al (2015) to model stochastic mortality using extended CreditRisk$^+$ methodology which is very different from traditional time series methods used for mortality modelling previously. In this framework, deaths are driven by common latent stochastic risk factors which may be interpreted as death causes like neoplasms, circulatory diseases or...

Published / Preprint: Quantitative Structuring vs the Equity Premium Puzzle. (arXiv:1507.07214v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Quantitative Structuring is a rational framework for manufacturing financial products. It shares many of its components with mainstream economics. The Equity Premium Puzzle is a well known quantitative challenge which has been defying mainstream economics for the last 30 years. Does Quantitative Structuring face a similar challenge? We find Quantitative Structuring to be in remarkable harmony...

Published / Preprint: Model Risk Analysis via Investment Structuring. (arXiv:1507.07216v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

"What are the origins of risks?" and "How material are they?" -- these are the two most fundamental questions of any risk analysis. Quantitative Structuring -- a technology for building financial products -- provides economically meaningful answers for both of these questions. It does so by considering risk as an investment opportunity. The structure of the investment reveals the precise sources...

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Look at the quality-driven success of manufactured goods. Wouldn't it be great if the quality of financial products became just as apparent? A positive answer to this question leads us to Quantitative Structuring -- a technology of manufacturing financial products. This paper is a fast introduction into Quantitative Structuring. More detailed discussions are presented as a set of appendices....

Published / Preprint: Dynamic Model of Markets of Homogenous Non-Durable. (arXiv:1109.5791v2 [stat.AP] UPDATED)

Posted: 27 Jul 2015 05:37 PM PDT

A new microeconomic model is presented that aims at a description of the long-term unit sales and price evolution of homogeneous non-durable goods in polypoly markets. It merges the product lifecycle approach with the price dispersion dynamics of homogeneous goods. The model predicts a minimum critical lifetime of non-durables in order to survive. Under the condition that the supply side of the...

Published / Preprint: Continuous-Time Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection with Constraints on Wealth and Portfolio. (arXiv:1507.06850v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 26 Jul 2015 05:38 PM PDT

We consider continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection with bankruptcy prohibition under convex cone portfolio constraints. This is a long-standing and difficult problem not only because of its theoretical significance, but also for its practical importance. First of all, we transform the above problem into an equivalent mean-variance problem with bankruptcy prohibition without portfolio...

We propose an indicator to measure the degree to which a particular news article is novel, as well as an indicator to measure the degree to which a particular news item attracts attention from investors. The novelty measure is obtained by comparing the extent to which a particular news article is similar to earlier news articles, and an article is regarded as novel if there was no similar article...

Published / Preprint: Optimum Liquidation Problem Associated with the Poisson Cluster Process. (arXiv:1507.06514v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 23 Jul 2015 05:36 PM PDT

In an illiquid market as a result of a lack of counterparties and uncertainty about asset values, trading of assets is not being secured by the actual value. In this research, we develop an algorithmic trading strategy to deal with the discrete optimal liquidation problem of large order trading with different market microstructures in an illiquid market. In this market, order flow can be viewed...

Published / Preprint: Presidential Address: Does Finance Benefit Society?

Posted: 23 Jul 2015 10:55 AM PDT

Academics’ view of the benefits of finance vastly exceeds societal perception. This dissonance is at least partly explained by an underappreciation by academia of how, without proper rules, finance can easily degenerate into a rent-seeking activity. I outline what finance academics can do, from a research point of view and from an educational point of view, to promote good finance and minimize...
