Ca' Foscari University Seminars

21 Feb '18

Seminar Annoucement *********************************************************** Speaker: Aristidis K Nikoloulopoulos, School of Computing Sciences, University of East Anglia Title: Factor copula models for item response data Date: 28/02/2018, Hour: 11:00 Place: Meeting Room A - Zeta Building Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica - DAIS Università Ca' Foscari - Venezia Edificio Zeta Via Torino, 155 I-30172 Mestre (VE) ITALY Abstract: Factor or conditional independence models based on copulas are proposed for multivariate discrete data such as item response. The factor copula models have interpretations of latent maxima/minima (in comparison with latent means) and can lead to more probability in the joint upper and/or lower tail compared with factor models based on the discretized multivariate normal distribution (or multidimensional normal ogive model). Details on maximum likelihood estimation of parameters for the factor copula model are given, as well as analysis of the behavior of the log-likelihood. Our general methodology is illustrated with several item response data sets and it is shown that there is a substantial improvement on existing models from the criteria of log-likelihood and goodness-of-fit. This talk will be based on collaborative work with Harry Joe (U. of British Columbia). -- Apologies for cross posting -- Carlo Gaetan -- Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica - DAIS Università Ca' Foscari - Venezia Edificio Zeta Via Torino, 155 I-30172 Mestre (VE) ITALY phone: ++39 041 234 8404 mobile phone: ++39 366 629 7899 e-mail:[gaetan"at"unive"dot"it] web:[http://www.dais.unive.it/~gaetan] Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

17^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2018 */Small Business Risk, Financial Regulation/* */and Big Data Analytics/* ** Venice, Italy 27 –28 September 2018 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), the *European Investment Fund *(EIF, Luxembourg), *European DataWarehouse*(Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 27-28, 2018. 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 *seventeenth* 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 with new monetary policies (low interest rates, quantitative easing, forward guidance...). In the meantime, the first steps towards a more neutral monetary policy are taken. 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. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks have been reshaped all around the world, with the introduction of new requirements or guidelines including regulation on credit impairment provisioning. All t//hese 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: * Loan level data and credit risk analysis: credit registries; big data analytics; credit risk measurement; credit risk modelling; * Financial regulation and credit cycles: macro-prudential regulation; banking cycles; bank business models; rational inattention; * Macro-economic determinants of SMEs’ credit risk and SME loan portfolios: ECB policy; macro-parameters for SMEs’ credit risk; industry sector specialization; loan portfolio allocation; * IFRS9, credit impairments and SME financing: expected credit loss; internal models versus standardized approach; procyclicality; * The economic impact of government support measures (i.e. Credit Guarantee Schemes, Venture Capital): availability; real effects; inequality; * Monetary policy, financial regulation and credit cycles: unconventional monetary policy; monetary policy normalization; macro-prudential tools; banking cycles; * Macro-prudential regulation and real estate valuation: macro-prudential tools; loan-to-value; loan-to-income; collateral value; real estate prices. The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Hans Degryse *(KU Leuven, Halle Institute for Economic Research & CEPR, Programme Chair)*; Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA); *Vasso Ioannidou *(Lancaster University & CEPR); *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(Head of Research & Market Analysis, Chief Economist, EIF); *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(SAFE - Goethe University); *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR);*Guillaume Plantin*(Sciences Po & CEPR); *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School); *Enrico Sette *(Bank of Italy); *Ludovic Thebault *(European DataWarehouse).** CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Tor Jacobson *(Sveriges Riksbank), *Robert C. Merton*(MIT Sloan School of Management), and *Guillaume Plantin *(Sciences Po & CEPR). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 25, 2018 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *June 25, 2018*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2018. *European DataWarehouse*(Frankfurt am Main, Germany) will offer access to its ABS loan level database <http://www.eurodw.eu/> to the authors of the selected papers on the following topics: loan level data, credit risk analysis, loan level data analytics, credit risk measurement, credit risk modelling, loan-to-value, loan-to-income, collateral value, real estate valuations. The access to the database will be given for a period of 1 year.
