I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Alessandro De Gregorio (Sapienza Università di Roma) e Stefano Iacus (Harvard University) TITOLO: Stimatori regolarizzati per equazioni differenziali stocastiche osservate a tempi discreti RIASSUNTO: Gli stimatori regolarizzati, cioè quegli stimatori che presentano dei termini di penalizzazione nella funzione di perdita, rappresentano uno strumento fondamentale nell'ambito della moderna teoria dell'apprendimento statistico. In questo seminario discuteremo problemi di stima parametrica penalizzata per equazioni differenziali stocastiche osservate a tempi discreti. Tale tema di ricerca è di recente interesse nell'ambito della statistica per processi stocastici. Nella prima parte del seminario, dopo una breve panoramica sulle tecniche di stima per equazioni differenziali stocastiche, introdurremo i modelli stocastici sparsi; ovvero si ipotizza che solo un piccolo numero di parametri determini il "vero" modello. In questo contesto è cruciale considerare degli stimatori regolarizzati che consentano di effettuare la stima e contemporaneamente la selezione del processo di diffusione. In particolare, saranno introdotti gli stimatori LASSO ed Elastic-Net e verranno discusse le loro proprietà asintotiche. La seconda parte dell'intervento sarà dedicata alle equazioni differenziali stocastiche su reti, in cui ciascun nodo della rete è un un'equazione stocastica che dipende dai nodi vicini. Questi modelli vengono introdotti poiché consentono di analizzare serie storiche ad altissima dimensione, sfruttando la struttura sparsa del grafo. Anche in questo contesto saranno introdotti e studiati stimatori penalizzati per la stima dei parametri del modello. Inoltre, la performance degli stimatori mediante sarà analizzate tramite alcune applicazioni. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb <https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline June 10, 2024
by Monica Billio 01 Jun '24

01 Jun '24

23nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2024 *The frontiers of new risks: AI, digital and sustainability transitions * Venice, Italy 3 – 4 October 2024 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy),*CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *Modefinance* (Trieste, Italy) are partners in organising a Conference to be held in Venice on October 3-4, 2024. * * The CREDIT 2024 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. CREDIT 2024 is the *twenty-third* in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics *and*VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* - of the *Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*,*Joint Research Center European Commission*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria*, *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Sustainability necessarily involves the adaptation of today’s business model to the dynamic nature of the current digitalised environments. Corporations need to make sure that resources, especially technology, are being used responsibly and efficiently to improve the lives of the present generations and future generations as well as strengthen their relationships with the environment as to solve sustainability-related problems such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution and inequality. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address these societal problems including sustainability. The climate crisis and the degradation of the physical environment are complex problems that require the most innovative and advanced solutions. The real value of AI hence lies in its ability to facilitate and foster environmental and social governance, rather just as a tool to reduce pollution, poverty and resource depletion. In the age of AI, societies depend on big data, social media, knowledge management and data science to survive and achieve these sustainability goals. AI has the potential to reshape not only finance and industry but also the whole society. There is need to understand opportunities and challenges as to properly manage all relevant risks. The organisers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference, with attention to *the use of AI to assess the sustainability impact of finance *(i.e. exploiting AI techniques or Big Data to bridge primary information gaps and proxy the sustainability impact) and *on how climate and digital risks may interact* (i.e. climate denial, social media and social media strategies including deepfakes). The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Patrick Bolton *(Imperial College London), and *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Marcin Kacperczyk *(Imperial College London, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) *Marie Brière* (AMUNDI & Université Libre de Bruxelles) *Lucia Alessi* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Leonardo Gambacorta *(Bank For International Settlements) *Mila Getmansky* (Isenberg School of Management, UMass Amherst) *Christian Gollier* (Toulouse School of Economics) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *June 10, 2024 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by July 10, 2024. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2024. Please send papers to: GRETA Associati, Dorsoduro 3707 - 30123 Venice, ITALY Phone : +39 349 060 3656 - e-mail: credit(a)greta.it More detailed information on the Conference website: https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2024

Seminario Padova - Francesca Primavera
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 01 Jun '24

01 Jun '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (7 Giugno) alle ore 14:15 in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Francesca Primavera (Università di Vienna) https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/about-us/francesca-primavera/ Title: Functional Itô formula and Taylor expansion for non-anticipative maps of rough paths Date: June 7, 2024, at 14:15, 2AB45 Abstract: We rely on the approximation properties of the signature of càdlàg rough paths to derive a functional Itô formula for non-anticipative maps of rough paths. This leads to a functional extension of the Itô formula for càdlàg rough paths (by Friz and Zhang (2018)) which coincides with the change of variable formula formulated by Dupire (2009) as well as by Cont and Fournie (2010), whenever the notions of the regularity of the functionals and the integration coincide. As a byproduct, we show that sufficiently regular non-anticipative path functionals admit a functional Taylor expansion, leading to a far reaching generalization of the recently established results by Dupire and Tissot-Daguette (2022). The talk is based on ongoing joint work with Christa Cuchiero and Xin Guo. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!
