Seminario Prof.ssa Youngna Choi @ SNS Pisa
by Giacomo BORMETTI 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Buongiorno a tutti, vi segnalo il seminario della Prof.ssa Youngna Choi della Montclair State University che si terrà a Pisa presso la Scuola Normale Superiore il prossimo 9 Gennaio alle ore 13:00 in Aula Bianchi. Seguono titolo e abstract. Titolo: Financial Instability Contagion: a Dynamical Systems Approach Abstract: We build a multi-agent dynamical system for the global economy to investigate and analyze financial crises. The agents are large aggregates of a subeconomy, and the global economy is a collection of subeconomies. We use well-known theories of dynamical systems to represent a financial crisis as propagation of a negative shock on wealth due the breakage of a financial equilibrium. We first extend the framework of the market instability indicator, an early warning signal defined for a single economy as the spectral radius of the Jacobian matrix of the wealth dynamical system. Then, we formulate a quantitative definition of instability contagion in terms thereof. Finally, we analyze the mechanism of instability contagion for both single and multiple economies. Our contribution is to provide a methodology to quantify and monitor the level of instability in sectors and stages of a structured global economic model and how it may propagate between its components. Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati.

The emphasis is on the analysis of the model and the tools for asymptotic inference. The results are illustrated by a few examples. A number of extensions of the theory are pointed out.// */Challenges for Macroeconomic Theory/* Standard macroeconomic models were not able to foresee our recent crisis nor have they been very useful for guiding us out of the subsequent long recession. Most of the economics profession has, therefore, acknowledged the need for a new research vision in macroeconomics and macrofinance. This talk discusses a number of challenges and argues that we need theoretical models that can capture the full dynamics of financial market behavior and its interrelatedness with the real economy as well as empirical models that can take such models to the data without compromising high scientific standards. How to combine these two goals is the subject of the talk. -- Prof.ssa Julia Mortera Dipartimento di Economia Università Roma Tre Via Silvio D'Amico 77 00145 Roma Tel: +39 06 57335732 Fax: +39 06 57335771 http://dipeco.uniroma3.it/docenti.asp?id=123# --- Questa e-mail è priva di virus e malware perché è attiva la protezione avast!

Mathematical modelling in mining industry (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 23:09:40 +1100 From: Juri Hinz <Juri.Hinz(a)uts.edu.au> To: "vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it" <vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it> Subject: Mathematical modelling in mining industry Dear Tiziano, could you please help distributing this advertisement? Thank you very much! Best wishes, Juri ------------------------------- Associate Professor Juri Hinz University of Technology Sydney PO Box 123, Broadway NSW 2007 Australia Phone: 9514 2252 Room: CB01.1550 Fax: +61 2 95142260 Email: juri.hinz(a)uts.edu.au ______________________________ Mathematical modelling in mining industry The UTS School of Mathematical Sciences and CSIRO Computational Informatics are seeking a PhD student to undertake research on optimisation in planning and management of minerals extraction and processing under uncertainty. The successful applicant will be awarded a highly competitive $30,000 per annum scholarship plus access to the unique doctoral training program under the auspices of the Industry Doctoral Training Centre in Mathematics and Statistics (visit http://www.gradschool.uts.edu.au/atn/ for more information). Australia has the world?s largest reserves of mineral sands, brown coal, nickel, lead, silver, uranium, iron ore, zinc and other minerals. Australia is ideally positioned within Asia?Pacific, the fastest growing region in the world. Unprecedented demand for commodities from the region has driven high levels of investment in minerals exploration and project developments. Australia?s abundant mineral resources, advanced mining equipment, technology and services industry, and proximity to the rapidly growing markets, have made it a world leading mining nation. The challenges of modern mining industry include a need for sophisticated technologies to extract minerals from low?grade ores, managing labour cost and increasingly focus on environmental sustainability. The costs associated with processing technologies must account for high level of uncertainty resulting from market conditions and ore quality. These risk factors have a significant impact on the profitability of mining projects, whose optimization focuses on correct choice of both, the operating policy and long?term strategic decisions. In this framework, optimising investments and decision?making are challenging and interesting stochastic control problems. This project focuses on mathematical models and efficient methods for numerical treatment of control problems arising in the decision?making process in the minerals industry. On practical side, these models and methods are of crucial importance for individual policy optimization. On the theoretical side, this research offers a unique opportunity to break in into a highly interesting, versatile and active area of modern mathematics, where practical questions challenge cutting?edge theoretical approaches. Being placed between real option theory, quantitative risk management, and Markov decision theory, the potential impact of this work is substantial and can position the student extremely well, beyond the award of a PhD degree. The quantitative known?how in these field provides an ideal starting point for both a future work in the financial industry, consultancies, minerals business and/or a career in academia. This PhD research project is a collaborative arrangement between UTS and CSIRO and will be supervised by A/Professor Juri Hinz (UTS) and Dr Tanya Tarnopolskaya (CSIRO). Selection Criteria 1. First class honours or equivalent in mathematics or other relevant discipline. 2. Demonstrated academic ability in statistics, stochastic processes and model implementation. 3. Sound knowledge of computer languages, at least one from C++, R, Mat lab, Python, Java How to apply Please send an email to both supervisors: Juri.Hinz(a)uts.edu.au Tanya.Tarnopolskaya(a)csiro.au ------------------------------- UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

mini corso prof. Ivan Gentil a Pavia
by Carbone Raffaella 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Cari colleghi, vi annunciamo che il prof. Ivan Gentil (Université Lyon 1) terrà, presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pavia un mini-corso dal titolo The Bakry-Emery condition applied to the functional inequality and contraction in Wasserstein distance Abstract : During the lessons we would like to introduce the Bakry-Emery condition in the Euclidean space R^n and also in a Riemannian manifold. First we study the two classical examples: the Euclidean Heat semigroup and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. Then we define the general setting: a Markov semigroup associated to the Gamma and the Gamma-2 operators. Under the Bakry-Emery condition we obtain coercive inequalities which implies for instance functional inequality such as Poincaré or logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities. The last part of the course is devoted to the contraction in wasserstein distance under the Bakry-Emery condition. Orario (provvisorio): ore 11-13 nei giorni 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24 gennaio 2014. -- Raffaella Carbone, PhD Ricercatore di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
