seminar announcement
by Marco Scarsini 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Thursday 13 October, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome. Speaker: Max Klimm (Technische Universität Berlin) Title: Optimal Impartial Selection Abstract: A fundamental property of many interactions like the awarding of prizes, the election of heads of committees or the process of peer review is that one or more members of a set of agents are selected based on nominations from within the set. Since the agents act as voters and nominees at the same time it is desirable that a selection mechanism is impartial in the sense that the probability of selecting an agent is independent of the nominations cast by that agent. In graph theoretic terms, this leads to the interesting problem of selecting vertices with high in-degrees under the constraint that the selection probability of each vertex is independent of its outgoing edges. We give a randomized impartial mechanism that in expectation selects an agent with at least half the maximum number of nominations. This is best possible subject to impartiality and resolves a conjecture of Alon et al. Further results are given for the case where some agent receives many nominations, each agent casts at least one nomination, and more than one agent is selected. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

seminario Dott. Severino - 12 ottobre 2016 - Bicocca
by Emanuela Rosazza 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 12 ottobre 2016 alle ore 15 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula seminari 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Dott. Federico Severino (Università Bocconi, Milano) Titolo: “Weak time-derivatives and no arbitrage pricing” Abstract: The risk-neutral pricing formula is a central result of asset pricing theory that provides the proper valuation of European derivatives in absence of arbitrages. Despite the variety of option payoffs, price dynamics are driven by the same interest rate process. We formalize this intuition by showing that no arbitrage prices constitute the weak solution of a differential equation, where the risk-free rate has a prominent role. To achieve this goal, we introduce the notion of weak time-derivative, which permits to differentiate functions of Markov processes. It generalizes the infinitesimal generator and provides a characterization of martingales, submartingales and supermartingales; in particular, martingales are characterized by a null weak time-derivative. Through the weak time-derivative, we formulate the no arbitrage pricing differential equation and we prove existence and uniqueness of the solution with both deterministic and stochastic interest rates. Finally, we reformulate the eigenvalue-eigenvector problem of Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) and we retrieve a decomposition of the stochastic discount factor, well-known in the long-term risk literature. This is joint work with Massimo Marinacci. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un saluto e a presto, Emanuela ******************************************************************************************* Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca Edificio U7 – 4° Piano Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 20126 Milano Tel. 02 64483208 Fax. 02 64483105 e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it *******************************************************************************************
