LTI@Unito Webinars: March 1, Massimiliano Caporin | March 2, Roberto Renò
by Luca Regis 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, || |LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti <www.carloalberto.org/lti>) and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinars in Mathematical Finance: | | *March 1, 2021 | 17:00-18:00* *“Do jumps matter in Realized Volatility modeling and forecasting? Empirical evidence and a new model”* *Massimiliano Caporin, University of Padova* *Abstract*: Building on an extensive empirical analysis I investigate the relevance of jumps and signed variations in predicting Realized Volatility. I show that properly accounting for intra-day volatility patterns and staleness sensibly reduces the identified jumps. Realized Variance decompositions based on intra-day return size and sign improve the in-sample fit of the models commonly adopted in empirical studies. I also introduce a novel specification based on a more informative decomposition of Realized Volatility, which offers improvements over standard models. From a forecasting perspective, the empirical evidence I report shows that most models, irrespective of their flexibility, are statistically equivalent in many cases. This result is confirmed with different samples, liquidity levels, forecast horizons and possible transformations of the dependent and explanatory variables. *Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09>* Meeting ID: 826 7261 8584 Passcode: 599584 ------ *March 2, 2021 | 12:00-13:15 * *“V-shapes”* *Roberto Renò, University of Verona* *Abstract*: An insidious form of market inefficiency, by which prices lose their informativeness and wealth is distributed arbitrarily, translates into V-shapes, that is sudden changes of the sign of the price drift. We use this insight to develop a new tool for the detection of reverting drift, the V-statistic. We apply this tool to (i) quantify the extent of this kind of market inefficiency in the U.S. stock market during the Covid-19 pandemic; and (ii) show the harmful consequences of V-shapes on financial stability by estimating the huge loss suffered by Italian taxpayers (0.45B euros) in May 2018, when a transient crash hit the secondary bond market during a Treasury auction. /Joint with Maria Flora./ *Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09>* Meeting ID: 825 9005 8916 Passcode: 055411 We look forward to your participation! | -- 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 ||

Statistics and Probability Seminars @University of Nottingham: Karthik Bharath (3pm Italian time)
by Fabrizio Leisen 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Con preghiera di diffusione. *Italian time: 15:00* Cordiali Saluti, Fabrizio Dear All, the Statistics and Probability group at the University of Nottingham organize a series of internal seminars which will be available to anyone interested, even outside the University of Nottingham. Our next speaker is Karthik Bharath. Seminar date and time: *4**th* * of March at 2pm. * Below you can find the Abstract and Title. Furthermore, you can find the Teams link to join the seminar. Best Wishes, Fabrizio Leisen Professor of Statistics University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK http://sites.google.com/site/fabrizioleisen/ You are cordially invited to the following seminar: Karthik Bharath <https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mathematics/people/karthik.bharath> (Internal Seminar) ----> 4th of March *at 2pm* Title: Shape space and models for functional data Abstract: Statements such as “death rate curve needs to remain single peaked”; “we expect the second peak of infected cases to be smaller compared to the first”, are, unfortunately, all too familiar nowadays. They represent instances of informal descriptions of shapes of functions we can relate to readily, wherein the notion of shape relates exclusively to ‘y direction’ variation. To formalise this, in this talk, I will consider a group-theoretic description of the shape of a function as that which is left behind once ‘x direction’ variability is ignored: only the number and values of local extrema are relevant to describe its shape and not their timings. Accordingly, the shape of a function is shown to be uniquely encoded by a polynomial, and this connection allows us to study structural aspects of the shape space of functions. For statistical analysis of functional data (e.g., densely sampled multiple time series data) the upside to this perspective is that (i) a natural dimension reduction mechanism based on local extrema becomes available when analysing amplitudes that avoids the task of registering (or aligning) the data; and (ii) simple finite-dimensional generative shape models can be defined. On the other hand, geometry of the shape space is complicated, and this makes it difficult to compute descriptive statistics (e.g., average shape) and study models induced on the shape space from the original (simpler) function space. This is joint work with Ian Jermyn (Durham). __________________________________________________ Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer or mobile app Click here to join the meeting <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTYwODYyNDEtYThiZi00…> Learn more <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> | Meeting options <https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=ac48eccb-4345-40d8-…> -- Fabrizio Leisen Professor of Statistics University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK http://sites.google.com/site/fabrizioleisen/

Fwd: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday February 25, 2021
by Faggionato, Alessandra 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Buongiorno, vi inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 24 feb 2021 alle ore 12:25 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday February 25, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are (Note: all times are in UTC. *Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location*) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Fredrik Viklund (KTH) Title: Interplay between Dirichlet and Loewner energies: cutting-welding operations and foliations by Weil-Petersson quasicircles - Part 1 Abstract: The Loewner energy is a Mobius invariant deterministic quantity attached to Jordan curves in the plane. One way in which it arises is as a large deviations rate function for the Schramm-Loewner evolution with small parameter. A curve has finite Loewner Energy if and only if it is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle, a class of curves that in the last decades has received significant attention by both physicists and mathematicians, but only very recently by probabilists. The Loewner-Kufarev energy is a dual quantity attached to certain continuous families of Jordan curves, which arises in the context of large deviations of SLEs with large parameter. We will survey recent joint works (and beyond) that describe the interplay between these energies (and the Weil-Petersson quasicircles) with the usual Dirichlet energy on the plane. The results are closely related to recent ideas and developments in Random Conformal Geometry but proofs are purely analytic. In the first talk, we begin by presenting background material and a survey of properties and characterisations of Weil-Petersson quasicircles. We then discuss interactions between Weil-Petersson quasicircles with ambient Dirichlet class functions via cutting and conformal welding operations as well as interpretations in terms of "flow-lines". At the end we will present a "dictionary" that relates these statements with ideas in Random Conformal Geometry. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Yilin Wang (MIT) Title: Interplay between Dirichlet and Loewner energies: cutting-welding operations and foliations by Weil-Petersson quasicircles - Part 2 Abstract: The main topic of the second talk is the Loewner-Kufarev energy and corresponding families of Weil-Petersson quasicircles. We will indicate how to associate to such a foliation a (geometric) "winding function" on the plane whose Dirichlet energy equals the (analytic) Loewner-Kufarev energy. This duality entails several interesting results: for example, the Loewner-Kufarev Energy is in fact reversible and we obtain a new characterisation of Weil-Petersson quasicircles. We will end by discussing further implications and open problems. *Main references:*F. Viklund, Y. Wang: Interplay between Loewner and Dirichlet energies via conformal welding and flow-lines, Geom.
