Dear all,
Join us for our upcoming talk in the STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/projects/storm/events/seminars/…> series Tuesday, November 11th, from 13:00 to 14:00 (Oslo time).
As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/62796699609>.
The speaker is Paul Ehling (BI Norwegian Business School) with the talk:
Title: Asset pricing implications of default
Abstract: Studying the asset pricing implications of default, we show that default along the equilibrium path reduces the amount of risk-sharing for two reasons. First, the potential of future default events for relatively poor agents increases their cost of borrowing today. Second, the option value of default in the future induces increased borrowing today, even for relatively rich agents. We establish that agents borrow from each other simultaneously in equilibrium and that they borrow more when idiosyncratic risk is high. Further, we show that this increases the probability of default along the equilibrium path which drives up the premium on risky assets. To solve our dynamic model example with multiple agents numerically, we rely on a machine learning framework to overcome the large state space and the non-linearities due to default.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Best regards,
Giulia, Leonardo and Pere

RELATORI: Lucas Benigni (Università di Montreal) e Giorgio
Cipolloni (Università di Roma 2 Tor Vergata)
TITOLO: The mystery of universality in Random Matrix Theory.
RIASSUNTO: Over the past fifteen years, our understanding of universality
in random matrix theory has undergone a remarkable transformation. For many
models of large random matrices, it is now known that both eigenvalue
statistics and eigenvector structures exhibit universal behavior that
depends only on the symmetry class and not on the fine details of the
matrix entries. This universality lies at the heart of deep conjectures in
mathematical physics—connecting topics as diverse as quantum chaos, number
theory, and high-dimensional statistics—and has become one of the major
success stories of modern probability theory.
In this two-part colloquium, we will survey these advances with a focus on
Wigner matrices, Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with i.i.d. entries
up to the symmetry constraint. The first part will discuss universality of
eigenvalues, from local spectral laws to modern proofs of universality of
local statistics. The second part will turn to eigenvectors, highlighting
recent progress on delocalization, quantum ergodicity, and eigenvector
statistics.
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new COST Action devoted to advancing research and collaboration in the broad field of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) and their applications across probability, statistics, and related disciplines.
This Action brings together researchers from across Europe and beyond who are working on the mathematical, computational, and applied aspects of stochastic dynamics. It aims to create an interdisciplinary network connecting experts in probability theory, mathematical statistics, stochastic analysis, and applied modeling.
The Action supports scientific networking by organising workshops, training schools, seminars, and supporting short-term scientific missions by its members to other countries.
Our scientific work is organized around five Working Groups:
1. WG1: Theory of SDEs
2. WG2: Numerical and Computational Methods
3. WG3: Inference and Statistics for SDEs
4. WG4: Applications and Modeling
5. WG5: Education, Dissemination, and Networking
We invite researchers and students interested in any of these areas to participate in the Action’s activities — workshops, training schools, and collaborative projects. Participation is open to scientists from all COST member countries.

Title: Unmatched linear regression: Asymptotic results under identifiability
Abstract: Consider the regression problem where the response $Y\in \mathbb R$ and the covariate $X\in \mathbb R^d $ for $d\geq 1$ are unmatched. Under this scenario we do not have access to pairs of observations from the distribution of $(X, Y)$, but instead we have separate data sets $\{Y_i\}_{i=1}^n$ and $\{X_j\}_{j=1}^m$, possibly collected from different sources. We study this problem assuming that the regression function is linear and the noise distribution is known or can be estimated. We introduce an estimator of the regression vector based on deconvolution (the DLSE) and demonstrate its consistency and asymptotic normality under an identifiability assumption. Under non-identifiability of the regression vector but identifiability of the distribution of the predictor, we construct an estimator of the latter based on the DLSE and show that it converges to the true distribution of the predictor at the parametric rate in the Wasserstein distance of order 1. We illustrate the theory with several simulation results.

*Title*: Network Modeling of Asynchronous Change-Points in Multivariate
Time Series
*Abstract *: We introduce a novel Bayesian method for asynchronous
change-point detection in multivariate time series. This method allows for
change-points to occur earlier in some (leading) series followed, after a
short delay, by change-points in some other (lagging) series. Such dynamic
dependence structure is common in fields such as seismology and neurology
where a latent event such as an earthquake or seizure causes certain
sensors to register change-points before others. We model these lead-lag
dependencies via a latent directed graph and provide a hierarchical prior
for learning the graph’s structure and parameters. Posterior inference is
made tractable by modifying particle MCMC methods designed for univariate
change-point problems. We apply our method to both simulated and real
datasets from the fields of seismology and neurology. In the simulated
data, we find that our method outperforms competing methods in settings
where the change-point locations are dependent across series. In the real
data applications we show that our model can also uncover an interpretable
network structure.
*Title*: Some approaches to modelling high-dimensional multivariate time
series
*Abstract*: There has been an increasing interest in modelling
high-dimensional multivariate economic time series. Many models build on
the work-horse Vector AutoRegression (VAR) and its time-varying extension
to TVP-VAR. These models can provide better forecasts and structural
analysis than low-dimensional models (particularly during crisis periods)
but the large number of parameters can be challenging both inferentially
and computationally. In this talk, I will review two recent approaches. The
first is the Tensor VAR (TVAR) model which uses a tensor structure to
achieve dimension reduction in the coefficient matrices of the VAR. I will
discuss Bayesian inference in these models and an extension to a
time-varying parameter model. The second approach considers the
time-varying Factor Augmented VAR (FA-VAR) and uses an autoencoder to
extract low-dimensional non-linear factors from high-dimensional data. I
will discuss how a shrinkage prior using groupings of the variables can
lead to identifiable factors and better predictive performance.
