LTI@UniTO Webinar in Finance: Sohnke Bartram (Warwick Business School) 03.06 h.15
by Luca Regis 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Dear Colleagues, LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar in Quantitative Finance, that will take place on June 3rd at 3 pm via Zoom. Please register here https://ltiwebinar3june.eventbrite.it/ to get the Zoom link. Speaker: Sohnke Bartram (Warwick Business School) Title: "Currency Anomalies" || |*Abstract *| | This paper is the first to study the cross-section of currency anomalies to explore alternative explanations for their existence. Using real-time data, currency anomalies are profitable during in-sample and out-of-sample periods, both before and after transaction costs, but trading profits decrease substantially after the publication of the underlying academic research. The decline is greater for anomalies with larger in-sample profits and lower arbitrage costs, and signal ranks and performance decay quickly, suggesting that currency anomalies reflect mispricing rather than compensation for risk or statistical bias. Mispricing is systematically related to mistakes and changes in analysts’ currency forecasts. In particular, analysts expect anomaly payoffs that are too low compared with actual anomaly profits. However, analysts update their forecasts to incorporate lagged anomaly information. These results are consistent with a behavioral explanation for currency anomalies. | -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti

UNIVAQ RANDOM TALKS - The Ph.D. COLLOQUIUM ________________________________ Online conferences on Probability and Applications at DISIM - UNIVERSITÁ DI L'AQUILA Monday June 8th 2:30 p.m. - ZOOM Videoconference platform Prof. Philip Protter Statistics Department Columbia University Nonlinear Valuation in Credit Risk Everybody is welcome, please subscribe by the following form The day of the seminar, participants will receive an invitation by e-mail https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfivXQHs0ZbxtQG8anBnzTSy1Tq_uWN7sG… (max. 100 participants) No need to subscribe, if, in a previous form, you asked to be always included Abstract: In a series of recent papers, Damiano Brigo, Andrea Pallavicini, and co-authors have shown that the value of a contract in a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) setting, being the sum of the cash flows, can be represented as a solution of a decoupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE). CVA is the difference between the risk-free portfolio value and the true portfolio value that takes into account the possibility of a counter party's default. In other words, CVA is the market value of counter party credit risk. This has achieved noteworthy importance after the 2008 financial debacle, where counter party risk played an under-modeled but huge risk. In their analysis, Brigo et al make the classical assumption of conditional independence of the default times, given the risk-free market filtration. This does not allow for the possibility of simultaneous defaults. We weaken their assumption, replacing it with a martingale orthogonality condition. This in turn changes the form of the BSDE that arises from the model. My talk is based on joint work with Aditi Dandapani. --------------------------------- Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

Probability Webminar: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) [Padova 05/06, 11.00]
by alessandra bianchi 27 May '20

27 May '20

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 05 at 11 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title: A new Universality Class in (1+1)-dimensions: the Brownian Castle 05 JUNE (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the context of randomly fluctuating interfaces in (1+1)-dimensions two Universality Classes have generally been considered, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and the Edwards-Wilkinson. Models within these classes exhibit universal fluctuations under 1:2:3 and 1:2:4 scaling respectively. Starting from a modification of the classical Ballistic Deposition model we will show that this picture is not exhaustive and another Universality Class, whose scaling exponents are 1:1:2, has to be taken into account. We will describe how it arises, briefly discuss its connections to KPZ and introduce a new stochastic process, the Brownian Castle, deeply connected to the Brownian Web, which should capture the large-scale behaviour of models within this Class. This talk is based on a joint ongoing work with Martin Hairer. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

PhD course "Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling" by P. Pigato
by Lucia Caramellino 26 May '20

26 May '20

Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Roma “Tor Vergata” PhD School in Mathematics Announcement of a PhD course (10 hours, online) Paolo Pigato (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata", WIAS Berlin): Fractional Brownian motion and non-Markovian modeling Abstract. In several applications of stochastic analysis (financial engineering, telecommunication networks, ...), it is desirable to model real-world quantities which are non-Markovian, for example because the noise process exhibits slowly decaying auto-correlations and long memory. In this course we will focus on fractional Brownian motion, a prototypical example of non-Markovian process. Such process is a generalisation of Brownian motion with Holder regularity possibly different than 1/2 and it is not a martingale. We will consider large deviations problems, simulation methods and some examples of application. Schedule. - Friday June 05, 2020; h. 14-16 - Tuesday June 09, 2020; h. 14-16 - Thursday June 11, 2020; h. 14-16 - Tuesday June 16, 2020; h. 14-16 - Thursday June 19, 2020; h. 14-16 Information at http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~dott/corsi.html <http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~dott/corsi.html> http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/corso-dottorato-pigato.htm <http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/corso-dottorato-pigato.htm> How to join the course.
