Politecnico di Milano - Seminario L. Finos
by Laura M. Sangalli 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Si avvisa che in data 07-11-2017, alle ore 15:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Livio Finos, Università degli Studi di Padova Titolo: Robust testing of generalized linear models by sign-flipping score contributions Sommario: We consider the problem of testing a generalized linear model (GLM) with possibly misspecified distribution. In this case, the traditional tests lose their good properties, since the Fisher information is estimated under incorrect assumptions. Here we present a testing approach that is based on random sign-flipping of score contributions, while not requiring any estimate of the Fisher information. As long as the link function is correct and under mild assumptions, our method is robust (i.e. asymptotically exact, consist) against several types of model misspecification, such as overdispersion, heteroscedasticity and, in some cases, ignored nuisance parameters. Among the other features, the methods extends easily to the multivariate (and multiple testing) framework, since it deals efficiently with the dependence of univariate tests without the need of estimating it. Some application to real data is shown and discussed. Based on joint work with Jesse Hemerik and Jelle Goeman Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

seminar at LUISS
by Marco Scarsini 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Thursday November 2 from from 12:00 to 13:00, Department of Economics and Finance LUISS room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Roma. Speaker: Tristan Garrec (Université Toulouse Capitole) Title: Irreducible and Cyclic Zero-Sum Product Stochastic Games Abstract: We study two classes of zero-sum stochastic games with compact action sets and a finite product state space. For on-one-side irreducible games, we prove the existence of the uniform value. For cyclic games, we prove that the asymptotic value may fail to exist. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

by Fabrizio Lillo 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Prof. Tomaso Aste of UCL asked me to forward the following announcement: Two Associate Professor or lecturer positions opening in the Financial Computing and Analytics group of University College London. (Senior lecturer will automatically take the title of Associate Professor form 2018) The Financial Computing and Analytics group does exciting researches on markets, societies and the economy in this digital era. Candidates should have demonstrated a capability of initiating and conducting exciting world-class research in financial computing and related areas. They should also be able to demonstrate evidence for their ability to attract funding, for example by holding a personal fellowship, and peer esteem for their work. Candidates must hold an earned Ph.D. by the time of the application. They will be evaluated chiefly on the significance and novelty of their research to date, and their promise for leading a group in a fruitful program of research. They must also demonstrate a zest for innovative and challenging teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. A proven record of ability to manage time and evidence of ability to teach and to supervise academic work by undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students are desirable. http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BEO568/lecturer-senior-lecturer-in-financial- computing/ ---------------------------------------- Fabrizio Lillo Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Bologna ITALY Personal website: fabriziolillo.wordpress.com University website: www.unibo.it/sitoweb/fabrizio.lillo <http://fabriziolillo.wordpress.com/> phone: +39 050509159

Educazione finanziaria - Concorso per idee
by Daniele Marazzina 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Con preghiera di diffusione >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cari colleghi, da ormai un anno il laboratorio di Finanza Quantitativa del Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, Qfinlab, è attivo nel campo dell’Educazione Finanziaria. Tutte le nostre attività in tal senso sono confluite nel sito www.imparalafinanza.it<http://www.imparalafinanza.it/>. Certamente importante è stato il lancio del primo MOOC di Educazione Finanziaria in Italia, la cui seconda edizione si avvia ormai alla conclusione, tramite il quale abbiamo raggiunto oltre 2000 persone. Una seconda iniziativa è stata la caccia al tesoro finanziaria (www.cacciaaltesorofinanziaria.it<http://www.cacciaaltesorofinanziaria.it/>), che ha visto protagonisti 45 ragazzi delle superiori, che si sono sfidati su argomenti di finanza, imparando. Vi scriviamo per chiedervi un aiuto nella diffusione della nostra terza iniziativa, il concorso per idee https://www.mate.polimi.it/concorso_edufin/ Il concorso è volto a far emergere idee interessanti e originali in merito a come comunicare nell'ambito dell’educazione finanziaria. È un concorso a livello nazionale ed è rivolto a singoli partecipanti o a gruppi composti al massimo da tre partecipanti, di età non superiore ai 35 anni. Le sezioni del concorso sono due, video e letteratura (testi scritti nelle più diverse forme), e saranno premiati i primi tre lavori di ognuna delle due categorie. È possibile iscriversi al concorso entro il 15 dicembre 2017, con consegna delle opere entro il 22 gennaio 2018. Per ulteriori informazioni https://www.mate.polimi.it/concorso_edufin/. Per la buona riuscita dell’iniziativa, che siamo sicuri troverete meritevole, vi chiediamo di diffondere il più possibile questo annuncio, sia tra i vostri colleghi e studenti universitari, sia tra le scuole o altri canali, se ne avete la possibilità. Vi ringraziamo per la vostra collaborazione. Emilio Barucci Daniele Marazzina
