LTI@Unito webinar Andrea Modea (U. Bonn): “Recapitalization, Bailout, and Long-run Welfare in a Dynamic Model of Banking”| May 24, 2021 @12:45
by Luca Regis 20 May '21

20 May '21

Dear Colleagues, I am happy to share with you the following invitation to the Quantative Finance webinar organized by LTI@UniTO and Collegio Carlo Alberto, “Recapitalization, Bailout, and Long-run Welfare in a Dynamic Model of Banking” by Andrea Modena (University of Bonn), which will take place on Zoom on May 24, at 12.45. Below you find the Zoom link and an abstract of the presentation. Best regards, Luca Regis <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/J7QJ4oN6YVj_zZsZOtARrIVf6c7Hmq99bS…> <#> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following workshop <#> *May 24, 2021 | 12:45 - 13:45* *“Recapitalization, Bailout, and Long-run Welfare in a Dynamic Model of Banking”* *Andrea Modena (University of Bonn, Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) * <#> *Abstract. *We study the trade-off between the short-run costs and the long-run benefits of bank bailouts. In the model, banks leverage, thanks to their cost advantage at monitoring firms, but hold precautionary capital buffers to avoid costly equity issuance. Banks’ recapitalization is suboptimal because they do not internalize the externalities of the banking sector’s relative size on their individual leverage capacity and firms’ investments. Systematic bailouts can improve the allocation efficiency in bad states, in which banks’ leverage is persistently constrained and investments are low. In the long run, bailouts accelerate the economy’s recovery by fostering growth, thereby reducing endogenous risk. *Zoom link:* *https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83596624662?pwd=ZmlvenJSbGJVZjl4WTA0MnNMUXVlZz09* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/s-qJVnhbS_zG1dfsi6qOu9mnfTxc8QKO7h…> Meeting ID: 835 9662 4662 Passcode: 056057 <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/yuwpD8sTuPk6FHLiRKKpTMm-UjUyfN6wgb…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/VpUegKgodGXzBen7C44jhlkXkF9jhsSmmo…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/cMWe7pVTdvfxQ1F14Ip-99gRFCuIRpXB8y…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/PBGBAvJh5x5DlI_7sK-JDvUzZNEYzjMddC…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ODY9SQh8giPEbUl9tQNsfhNYuPH1kUrrxH…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/eSYLTqj79odIe23NOKQ9iD17xZiiWLxZpk…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/VHxNOf4LAHpDbLIqIRMcZ1IjxJ8vJMlt0R…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Alessandra Bianchi, Monday May 24 at 17.30
by Carlo Orrieri 19 May '21

19 May '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Alessandra Bianchi (Università di Padova) Title: Limit Theorems for Exponential Random Graphs. Abstract: Exponential Random Graphs are defined through probabilistic ensembles with one or more adjustable parameters. They can be seen as a generalization of the classical Erdos Renyi random graph, obtained by defining a tilted probability measure that is proportional to the densities of certain given finite subgraphs. In this talk we will focus on the edge-triangle model, that is a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs in which dependence between edges is introduced through triangles. Borrowing tools from statistical mechanics, together with large deviations techniques, we will characterize the limiting behavior of the edge density for all parameters in the so-called replica symmetric regime, where a complete characterization of the phase diagram of the model is accessible. First, we determine the asymptotic distribution of this quantity, as the graph size tends to infinity, in the various phases. Then we study the fluctuations of the edge density around its average value off the critical curve and formulate conjectures about the behavior at criticality based on the analysis of a mean-field approximation of the model. Joint work with Francesca Collet and Elena Magnanini. Date and time: Monday May 24, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81602205122?pwd=Wlk0SVZPRjY4UHFzR1c5RmJMekRCZz09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81602205122?pwd=Wlk0SVZPRjY4UHFzR1c5RmJMekRCZz09> Meeting ID: 816 0220 5122 Passcode: d5v0SS This talk is the second of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons) Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Remember that we start 14:00 UTC which is 16:00 CET! 14:00-15:00 UTC Pascal MaillardBranching particle systems and front propagation I will review some recent results (some in progress) on extremes of branching particle systems as models of front propagation. The main theme will be asymptotic results about speed and fluctuations. The talk will be based on joint work with various subsets of the following people : Gaël Raoul, Michel Pain, Sarah Penington, Jason Schweinsberg, Julie Tourniaire. 15:00 - 16:00 UTC Sarah Penington Brownian bees in the infinite swarm limit Consider a system of N particles moving according to Brownian motions and branching at rate one. Each time a particle branches, the particle in the system furthest from the origin is killed. I will discuss the large N and large time behaviour of the system, which is related to solutions of a novel non-linear free boundary partial differential equation.

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 21 Maggio 2021, alle ore 12.00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Paul Jenkins *(University of Warwick) Title: *Asymptotic genealogies of interacting particle systems* Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87319216872?pwd=L1JnR0UvamZ2RC9Eb2xFbW9qREN0Zz09 Meeting ID: 873 1921 6872 Passcode: 626226 Abstract: Interacting particle systems are a broad class of stochastic models for phenomena arising in physics, engineering, biology, and finance. A prominent class of such models can be expressed as a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm in which the aim is to construct an empirical approximation to a sequence of measures. The approximation is constructed by evolving a discrete-time, weighted population of particles, alternating between a Markov update and a resampling step. Resampling gives rise to a notion of a genealogy in which duplicated particles are regarded as offspring of their parents. In this talk I discuss how to characterise the genealogy underlying this evolving particle system. More precisely, under certain conditions we can show that the genealogy converges (as the number of particles grows) to Kingman's coalescent, a stochastic tree-valued process widely studied in population genetics. This makes explicit the analogy between sequential Monte Carlo and an evolving biological population. This is joint work with Suzie Brown, Adam Johansen, Jere Koskela, and Dario Spanò. ------------------------------------------------ Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
