Next OWPS on May 24th: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL)
by Alberto Chiarini 12 May '23

12 May '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 24th of May from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title: A new approach to the cutoff phenomenon Abstract: The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity. Discovered forty years ago in the context of card shuffling, it has since then been observed in a variety of examples, from random walks on random graphs to high-temperature spin glasses. Nevertheless, a general theory is still missing, and identifying the precise mechanisms that underlie this phase transition remains one of the biggest challenges in the quantitative analysis of finite Markov chains. In the first part of the lecture, I will try to provide a self-contained introduction to this fascinating question. In the second part, I will describe a new approach based on entropy and curvature, which has recently led to a systematic proof of cutoff for a relatively broad class of chains.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 11 May '23

11 May '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The CREDIT 2023 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. The CREDIT 2023 is the*twenty-second *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*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The CREDIT 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Elisa Giuliani* (University of Pisa), *Helen Rey *(London Business School), *Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management), and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers and a session dedicated to the EU funded project *TranspArEEnS*. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *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) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Seminar in Statistics - REGINA LIU

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Mercoledi 10 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Regina Liu* (Rutgers University, USA) Title: *Fusion Learning: Combining Inferences from Diverse Data Sources* Abstract: Advanced data collection technology nowadays has often made inferences from diverse data sources easily accessible. Fusion learning refers to combining inferences from multiple sources or studies to make a more effective overall inference than that from any individual source or study alone. We focus on the tasks: 1) Whether/When to combine inferences? 2) How to combine inferences efficiently? 3) How to combine inference to enhance an individual or target study? We present a general framework for nonparametric and efficient fusion learning for inference on multi-parameters, which may be correlated. The main tool underlying this framework is the new notion of depth confidence distribution (depth-CD), which is developed by combining data depth, bootstrap and confidence distributions. We show that a depth-CD is an omnibus form of confidence regions, whose contours of level sets shrink toward the true parameter value, and thus an all-encompassing inferential tool. The approach is shown to be efficient, general and robust. It readily applies to heterogeneous studies with a broad range of complex and irregular settings. This property also enables the approach to utilize indirect evidence from incomplete studies to gain efficiency for the overall inference. The approach will be shown with simulation studies and real applications in aircraft landing performance tracking and in financial forecasting. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89011414757?pwd=M2xDT3g1cy9kNm50REdoYUEzdU9sdz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
