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.

SPEAKER: Prof. Marielle Simon (Université Lyon 1)
TITLE: ``On exclusion processes with phase separation"
ABSTRACT: "Stochastic lattice gases" are models of interacting particles subject to stochastic dynamics. They have been widely studied for about thirty years by both mathematicians and physicists. Their structure makes it possible to analyse them rigorously, while illustrating numerous physical phenomena: in particular, one of the main objectives is to prove rigorously the convergence of the microscopic system towards a macroscopic PDE, after rescaling in time and space (also known as the ‘hydrodynamic limit’).
In the first lecture I will give several illustrations of this convergence result thanks to the most well-known example, namely the symmetric simple exclusion process. In the second lecture, I will show how to enrich these models in order to derive some phase separation at the macroscopic level, with a free boundary that moves within the system.
SPEAKER: Prof. Michel Mandjes (Leiden University)
TITLE: Dynamic random graphs: analysis and inference
ABSTRACT: The bulk of the random graph literature concerns models that are of an inherently static nature, in that features of the random graph at a single point in time are considered. There are strong practical motivations, however, to consider random graphs that are stochastically evolving, so as to model networks’ inherent dynamics. In this talk I’ll discuss a set of dynamic random graph mechanisms and their probabilistic properties. Key results cover functional diffusion limits for subgraph counts (describing the behaviour around the mean) and a sample-path large-deviation principle (describing the rare-event behaviour, thus extending the seminal result for the static case developed by Chatterjee and Varadhan).
The last part of my talk will be about estimation of the model parameters from partial information. We for instance demonstrate how the model’s underlying parameters can be estimated from just snapshots of the number of edges. We also consider settings in which particles move around on a dynamically evolving random graph, and in which the graph dynamics are inferred from the movements of the particles (i.e., not observing the graph process).

*Abstract*
This talk will cover Extreme Value Theory and its key results on
convergence, focusing on the
Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) family and the Generalized Pareto
Distribution (GPD) family.
Additionally, we will explore the concept of the shape of a distribution
and how it can be used to
characterize GEV and GPD distributions. This characterization can serve as
the basis for developing
a graphical tool to assess tail weight. The presentation will conclude with
a real-world example
applied to environmental data.
Siamo molti lieti di invitarvi al workshop

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO
<https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…>
Venerdi 20 Settembre 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza
Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:
------------------------------------------------
*12.00-13.00*
Speaker: Kohatsu-Higa (Ritsumeikan University, Japan)
Title: *Derivation of killed processes: Applications in Finance*
Abstract:
In various fields including some in finance it is useful to have the
concept of derivative of a killed process or a stopping time. We have
started a project where such concepts can be discussed. Presently, we are
developing some theoretical results that can be later applied. We will give
a brief description of the project, achieved goals and some heuristics. I
will present some results that have been obtained in joint work with Dan
Crisan (Imperial College) in the one dimensional case and in the half space
case. The generalizations of these results to the case of a smooth domain
are being developed with Fabio Antonelli (University of L’Aquila). I will
also briefly describe some possible financial applications.

Dear all, on Wednesday 25 September, at noon, Professor Jean Jacod will give the seminar
High Frequency Returns Sign-Based Robust Inference,
at the Department of Economics in Verona, via Cantarane 24, aula Vaona (from the main entrance of the main building in Santa Marta turn left, metal stairs, 1st floor, ring the bell on the right, staircase with 3 steps, room on the left)
It is possible to follow it also on zoom at the following link:
https://univr.zoom.us/j/94276571806
Abstract
We derive the limit of infill asymptotic distribution for the sum of positive returns of prices or
log-prices in a given period of time. The framework is multivariate and quite general: it allows for
the presence of leverage effects and jumps with finite activity. In a second step, the results are used
to estimate the drifts (or rather, the Sharpe ratios) of the continuous part of the processes.
Joint work with Nour Meddahi
All interested people are warmly invited to take part
