Fwd: International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE May 31, 2017
by Monica BILLIO 08 May '17

08 May '17

16th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2017 *INTEREST RATES, GROWTH and REGULATION *Venice, Italy 28-29 September 2017 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), the *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 28-29, 2017. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *sixteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. Since 2007, the financial crisis has triggered deep changes of various kinds. Central banks have experimented new monetary policies (low interest rates, quantitative easing, forward guidance...). The banking industry has had to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust its credit allocation practices in order to cope with a new environment characterized, in particular, by a prolonged period of very low risk-free returns. Alternatives and complements to commercial banking have continued their progress. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks have been reshaped all around the world, with the introduction of new requirements or guidelines. All these changes have called for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play during the crisis, to design adapted policy tools and to provide a better description of the new economic and financial environment. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: - Low interest rates and asset management: emergence of alternative asset classes; changes in banks asset management, repositioning towards wealth management services. - Low interest rates and econometric modelling: Zero Lower Bound; lift off; unconventional monetary policy; default risk; contagion and systemic risk. - Interest rates and alternative financing: venture capital; credit risk in p2p lending/crowdfunding, is there adverse selection? the financing of SMEs; impact on the real economy. - New regulation environment: impact of Basel 4; internal models versus standardized approach; international harmonization; impact of TLAC (total loss absorbent capacity) and IFRS9. The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Alain Monfort* (CREST-Paris, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) *Francesca Campolongo* (EU-JRC Unit 'Financial and Economic Analysis') *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (Head EIF's Research & Market Analysis) *Jan Peter Krahnen* (SAFE - Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, SFI & CEPR) *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne) *Fulvio Pegoraro* (Bank of France) *Bernd Schwaab* (European Central Bank) Local Organisers: *Davide Alfonsi* (Intesa Sanpaolo), *Monica Billio* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice & GRETA), *Andrea Giacomelli* (Knowshape & GRETA), *Pier Luigi Gilibert* (European Investment Fund) and *Domenico Sartore* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Thomas Philippon *(New York University), *Manju Puri* (Duke University) and *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems.

Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Lunedì 15 maggio, ore 16 Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo T.G. Kurtz, University of Wisconsin-Madison, "Stochastic equations for processes built from bounded generators" Abstract: The generator for a pure jump process with bounded jump rate is a bounded operator on the space of measurable functions. For any such process, it is simple to write a stochastic equation driven by a Poisson random measure. Uniqueness for both the stochastic equation and the corresponding martingale problem is immediate, and consequently, the martingale problem and the stochastic equation are equivalent in the sense that they uniquely characterize the same process. A variety of Markov processes, including many interacting particle models, have generators which are at least formally given by infinite sums of bounded generators. In considerable generality, we can write stochastic equations that are equivalent to these generators in the sense that every solution of the stochastic equation is a solution of the martingale problem and every solution of the martingale problem determines a weak solution of the stochastic equation. It follows that uniqueness for one approach is equivalent to uniqueness for the other. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Per informazioni rivolgersi a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it

Seminario DELLAPORTAS

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 12 Maggio 2017, alle ore 11.00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Petros DELLAPORTAS (University College London) HIGH DIMENSIONAL JUMP PROCESSES WITH STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY We deal with the problem of identifying jumps in multiple financial time series using the stochastic volatility model combined with a jump process. We develop efficient MCMC algorithms to perform Bayesian inference for the parameters and the latent states of the proposed models. In the univariate case we use an homogeneous compound Poisson process for the modelling of the jump component. In the multivariate case we adopt an inhomogeneous Poisson process, with intensity which is also a stochastic process varying across time and economic sectors and markets. A Gaussian process is used as prior distribution for the intensity of the Poisson process. This model is known as doubly stochastic Poisson process or Gaussian Cox process. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms is compared with existing MCMC algorithms. Our methodology is tested through simulation based experiments and applied on 600 stock daily returns of Euro STOXX index over a period of 10 years. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

seminario Ben Goldys - Milano Bicocca 9/5
by federica.masiero＠unimib.it 03 May '17

03 May '17

Il giorno 9 Maggio, alle ore 10.45, presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca, via Cozzi, 55, Edificio U5, stanza 3014 (terzo piano), il Prof. Ben Goldys, The University of Sydney, terrà un seminario dal titolo "Heat equation perturbed by boundary noise" Abstract: We will consider a fairly general Cauchy-Dirichlet problem with noise entering through the boundary. The case when the noise is white in space and time is also included. The question how to give a meaning to such an equation was first formulated by Da Prato and Zabczyk in 1994 and still remains largely open. We will show that the proper framework for this problem is a certain non-standard weighted $L^p$-space.This is a joint work with Szymon Peszat and Giorgio Fabbri. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Federica Masiero

Seminario di probabilità al Politecnico di Milano
by Fabio Zucca 02 May '17

02 May '17

Si avvisa che in data 5/5/2017, alle ore 10:30 precise, presso Aula seminari del III piano del Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative della sezione di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Invariance under quasi-isometries of subcritical and supercritical behavior in the Boolean model of percolation Relatore: Cristian Coletti, Universidade Federal do ABC, Santo André - Sao Paulo, Brasil Abstract: We study the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in locally compact Polish metric spaces and we prove the invariance of subcritical and supercritical phases under mm-quasi-isometries. More precisely, we prove that if a metric space M is mm-quasi-isometric to another metric space N, and the Poisson Boolean model in M exhibits any of the following: (a) a subcritical phase; (b) a supercritical phase; or (c) a phase transition, then the same does the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in N. We use these results in order to understand the phase transition phenomenon in a large family of metric spaces. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Fabio Zucca
