avviso di seminario - Univ. Milano-Bicocca
by Emanuela Rosazza 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 11 ottobre alle ore 16 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- Sala del Consiglio) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Prof. Giorgio Ferrari (Università di Bielefeld, Germania) Titolo: “On a Class of Optimal Dividend Problems with Capital Injection” Abstract: In this talk I present some recent results on the optimal dividend problem with capital injection. That is the problem of a fund manager aiming at maximising the discounted dividend payments, net of the penalised discounted capital injections needed to avoid bankruptcy of the fund. In our model the surplus dynamics is driven by a general linearly controlled one-dimensional diffusion, that is reflected at zero. Moreover, we assume that the dividend payments are subject to surplus-dependent taxes/transaction costs. We show that depending on the properties of the surplus-dependent taxes/transaction costs we can have different kinds of optimal strategies for the dividend payments. Either it is optimal to follow a classical barrier strategy, or not paying dividend at all is the best thing to do. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un saluto cordiale, Emanuela ******************************************************************************************* Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca Edificio U7 – 4° Piano Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 20126 Milano Tel. 02 64483208 Fax. 02 64483105 e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it *******************************************************************************************

Dear all, it is our pleasure to announce the French-Italian workshop "New Challenges in Statistics for Social Sciences", which will take place on 16-17 October 2017 at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Department of Economics (Meeting Room 1, Campus Economico, Fondamenta San Giobbe 873). This workshop aims at presenting recent developments in both theoretical and applied statistics for social sciences, with particular attention to economics and finance. The workshop will feature six presentations by international speakers and two tutorial classes will be offered: - Bayesian inference for Poisson processes, by prof. Fabrizio Ruggeri (CNR IMATI of Milan) - Introduction to Approximate Bayesian Computation by prof. Christian Robert (Université Paris Dauphine and University of Warwick). The sponsors of the event are: - Université Franco-Italienne (UFI) - GRETA research group - Dipartimento di Economia dell'Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia All interested researchers, as well as PhD students, are invited to participate. The participation is free, but for organization reasons, people interested in attending the Workshop are kindly requested to contact the local organizers within October 7 via the following account: Matteo Iacopini: matteo.iacopini(a)unive.it <mailto:matteo.iacopini@unive.it> For further information please visit: http://sites.google.com/site/ifstatseminar/ <http://sites.google.com/site/ifstatseminar/> We apologize for cross-posting and look forward to seeing you in Venice!
