seminar at LUISS
by Marco Scarsini 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

October 26 from 12:00 to 13:00, Department of Economics and Finance LUISS room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Roma. Speaker: Sylvain Sorin (IMJ, Université Pierre at Marie Curie) Title: Optimization, learning and games. ``Replicator dynamics: old and new’’ Abstract: We will describe the unilateral version associated to the replicator dynamics and its connection to on-line learning procedures and classical gradient algorithms in discrete and continuous time. We will survey recent results on extensions of this dynamics: regularization functions and variable weights, time average and link to best reply dynamics in games, equilibria and variational inequalities, potential and dissipative games, Hessian Riemannian metrics. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Seminar by prof. Walter Schachermayer at LUISS
by Sara 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Dear all, on Friday 24 November at 9:30, room A105 prof Schachermayer will give the following seminar: *Title:* The amazing power of dimensional analysis: Quantifying market impact *Abstract:* A basic problem when trading in financial markets is to analyze the prize movement caused by placing an order. Clearly we expect - ceteris paribus - that placing an order will move the price to the disadvantage of the agent. This price movement is called market impact. Following Kyle and Obizhaeva we apply dimensional analysis - a line of arguments wellknown in classical physics - to analyze to which extent the square root law applies. This universal law claims that the market impact is proportional to the square root of the size of the order. The mathematical tools of this analysis reside on elementary linear algebra. Joint work with Mathias Pohl, Alexander Ristig and Ludovic Tangpi. Regards, Sara -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/
