WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 9 Aprile 2021, alle ore 12.00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Gilles Stupfler *(ENSAI Rennes and CREST, France) Title: *Asymmetric least squares techniques for extreme risk estimation* Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81720792366?pwd=QWtaYVRRejVSVGlOMXFMaDdsemxjdz09 Meeting ID: 817 2079 2366 Passcode: 241135 Abstract: Financial and actuarial risk assessment is typically based on the computation of a single quantile (or Value-at-Risk). One drawback of quantiles is that they only take into account the frequency of an extreme event, and in particular do not give an idea of what the typical magnitude of such an event would be. Another issue is that they do not induce a coherent risk measure, which is a serious concern in actuarial and financial applications. In this talk, I will explain how, starting from the formulation of a quantile as the solution of an optimisation problem, one may come up with two alternative families of risk measures, called expectiles and extremiles. I will give a broad overview of their properties, as well as of their estimation at extreme levels in heavy-tailed models, and explain why they constitute sensible alternatives for risk assessment using some real data applications. This is based on joint work with Abdelaati Daouia, Irène Gijbels, Stéphane Girard and Antoine Usseglio-Carleve. ------------------------------------------------ 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/>

Dear colleagues, This is a reminder that tomorrow (Thursday 25) at 16:00, prof. Tiandong Wang (Texas A&M) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below this message. The seminar will be on Zoom, and the information to join is: Topic: Tiandong Wang - Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network Time: Mar 25, 2021 04:00 PM Rome https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82762436142?pwd=MW45SWN6NTBqV0VWbVJWREhESmtaZz09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82762436142?pwd=MW45SWN6NTBqV0VWbVJWREhESmtaZz09> Meeting ID: 827 6243 6142 Passcode: 897951 If you know of someone who might be interested and is not subscribed to the random mailing list, please do not hesitate to forward this announcement to them. Kind regards, Gianmarco Title: Reciprocity in a Preferential Attachment Network Abstract: Empirical studies show that online social networks have not only in- and out-degree distributions with Pareto-like tails, but also a high proportion of reciprocal edges. A classical directed preferential attachment (PA) model generates in- and out-degree distribution with power-law tails, but theoretical properties of the reciprocity feature in this model have not yet been studied. We derive the asymptotic results on the number of reciprocal edges between two fixed nodes, as well as the proportion of reciprocal edges in the entire PA network. We see that with certain choices of parameters, the proportion of reciprocal edges in a directed PA network is close to 0, which differs from the empirical observation. This points out one potential problem of fitting a classical PA model to a given network dataset with high reciprocity, and indicates alternative models need to be considered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gianmarco Bet (he/him) Junior researcher https://gianmarco.bet Phone: (+39) 055 2751491 Department of Mathematics and Informatics "U.

Fwd: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 25, 2021
by Faggionato, Alessandra 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Buongiorno, vi inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani, che riguarderà il modello $\phi^4_3$. Quello di domani sarà l'ultimo OWPS prima della pausa di Pasqua. Il OWPS riprenderà dopo le vacanze (credo il 15 Aprile) con moderatori Nina Gantert and Julien Berestycki. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 24 mar 2021 alle ore 09:09 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday March 25, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are3(Note: all times are in UTC. *Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location*) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Hendrik Weber (University of Bath) Title: Phase transitions for $\phi^4_3$ - Part 1 Abstract: The $\phi^4$ model is a classical model in Mathematical Physics, arising e.g. as a continuous version of the Ising model, as a toy model for a Quantum field theory and it is also closely related to the invariant measures of certain Hamiltonian PDEs. The aim of this series of two talks is to discuss the infinite volume limit and the emergence of phase transitions for this model: we will show that in a certain parameter regime, the model exhibits a phase segregation behaviour, akin to the low temperature phase of the Ising model. In the first lecture I will put our result into perspective by first discussing the connection of continuous $\phi^4$ and discrete Ising models as well as the phase segregation in low temperature Ising models. I will then discuss a variational approach to estimating the $\phi^4$ partition function, which is due to Barashkov and Gubinelli and a key ingredient of our method. Based on Chandra, Gunaratnam, Weber, arXiv:2006.15933. (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Trish Gunaratnam (University of Geneva) Title: Phase transitions for $\phi^4_3$ - Part 2 Abstract: In this talk I will continue to discuss phase transitions for $\phi^4_3$. I will establish a surface order large deviations estimate for the average magnetisation at sufficiently low temperatures in large but finite volumes. This immediately gives an upper bound on the decay of the spectral gap for the associated $\phi^4_3$ singular SPDE in the infinite volume limit. At the heart of this result are the development of Peierls’ contour bounds for $phi^4_3$, which requires control over the small-scale divergences and the low temperature Hamiltonian. We achieve this by incorporating a low temperature expansion, inspired by Glimm, Jaffe, and Spencer’s classical work on $\phi^4_2$, within the variational representation of the $\phi^4_3$ via coarse-graining. Based on Chandra, Gunaratnam, Weber, arXiv:2006.15933. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82058081391?pwd=MWZTNEpZY2I3NEtYa0tFczdTenR0QT09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting ID: 820 5808 1391 Passcode: 493605 Please feel free to circulate this email.

Sussex probability seminar
by Enrico Scalas 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Dear Colleagues, Next Monday 29th March at 11am, we’ll have an online probability seminar with a talk given by Nicholas Simm. Title: The characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix: from secular coefficients to holomorphic multiplicative chaos Description: I will begin by introducing some basic questions / historical tidbits regarding eigenvalue statistics of random matrices. Then I will discuss some recent work concerning limit theorems for secular coefficients of random unitary matrices, which are the Fourier coefficients of the characteristic polynomial. This draws on ideas from Gaussian multiplicative chaos on the one hand, but also combinatorial structures such as magic squares and random permutations make an appearance. This is joint work with Joseph Najnudel (Bristol) and Elliot Paquette (McGill) , pre-print: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.01823.pdf. If you are interested in attending, please write to Dr Minmin Wang ( minmin.wang(a)sussex.ac.uk) for the Zoom link. Best wishes, Enrico Scalas

International Conference in Venice on COMPOUND RISK - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

20th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2021 *Compound Risk: Climate, Disaster, Finance, Pandemic * Venice, Italy 23 –24 September 2021 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt, Germany), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg), *European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 23-24, 2021. The Conference CREDIT 2021 will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and credit risk with the aim to create a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy and industry-relevant insights as well as directions for future research. Credit 2021 is the *twentieth *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 the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy). The theme of this year’s conference is the relation between financial risk on the one hand and pandemic, climate and disaster risk, on the other hand, with particular attention to the possible compounding of different sources of risk. The past year, 2020, has been marked by the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis, which has shown how fragile our economic systems can be when confronted with shocks that threaten public health and the closeness of the connections between economic and financial risks and public policy. Climate change is now widely recognized as a new source of financial risk which is relevant both at the level of households and individual institutions and the systemic level. In particular, the many central banks and financial institutions that have joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) have issued recommendations on how to integrate climate considerations into risk management strategies and practices. However, risks such as pandemics and climate change do not occur in isolation but can also compound, as has already been seen in several countries. The compounding of risk, which is currently poorly understood, increases the complexity of risk assessment and risk management, and it has implications for socio-economic development, as well as for public debt sustainability. In the EU, these aspects have major implications for efforts to increase the resilience of the economy to future shocks and to “build back better”, and requires the alignment of COVID-19 recovery policies, such as those supported by the NextGenerationEU, and the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement targets. The organizers of CREDIT 2021 encourage submissions on a range of topics of relevance to this year’s theme including: finance and COVID-19; finance and climate risks; finance and compound COVID-19 and climate risks. In particular, submissions are welcome in the following areas: • INVESTMENTS: Sustainable Finance, Disaster risk finance; Finance 4 good; public finance; blended finance. • POLICIES: Climate Policies, European Green New Deal; Next Generation EU; Recovery Plan. • INFORMATION: Data gaps; modelling challenges; risk transmission channels; uncertainty; complexity. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Vittoria Colizza *(INSERM, France), *Robert Engle *(Stern Business School, New York University) and *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) who will deliver keynotes, respectively on finance and on epidemics. The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: • * Stefano Battiston *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & University of Zurich, Programme Chair) • * Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) • * Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission) • *Vittoria Colizza* (INSERM, France) • * Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) • * Jan Pieter Krahnen* (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University, Frankfurt) • *Irene Monasterolo *(Vienna University of Economics and Business) • *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR) • *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) • *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2021 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *June 30, 2021*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2021. Please send papers to: GRETA Associati, San Polo, 2605 - 30125 Venice, ITALY Phone : +39 041 5238178 - e-mail: credit(a)greta.it <mailto:credit@greta.it> More detailed information available on the Conference website: https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2021 <https://www.greta.it/index.php/it/credit-2021>

LTI@Unito Webinars: March 1, Massimiliano Caporin | March 2, Roberto Renò
by Luca Regis 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, || |LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti <www.carloalberto.org/lti>) and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinars in Mathematical Finance: | | *March 1, 2021 | 17:00-18:00* *“Do jumps matter in Realized Volatility modeling and forecasting? Empirical evidence and a new model”* *Massimiliano Caporin, University of Padova* *Abstract*: Building on an extensive empirical analysis I investigate the relevance of jumps and signed variations in predicting Realized Volatility. I show that properly accounting for intra-day volatility patterns and staleness sensibly reduces the identified jumps. Realized Variance decompositions based on intra-day return size and sign improve the in-sample fit of the models commonly adopted in empirical studies. I also introduce a novel specification based on a more informative decomposition of Realized Volatility, which offers improvements over standard models. From a forecasting perspective, the empirical evidence I report shows that most models, irrespective of their flexibility, are statistically equivalent in many cases. This result is confirmed with different samples, liquidity levels, forecast horizons and possible transformations of the dependent and explanatory variables. *Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82672618584?pwd=VWdNeWhEc1pyVjJCQ3pucEhtb1BxUT09>* Meeting ID: 826 7261 8584 Passcode: 599584 ------ *March 2, 2021 | 12:00-13:15 * *“V-shapes”* *Roberto Renò, University of Verona* *Abstract*: An insidious form of market inefficiency, by which prices lose their informativeness and wealth is distributed arbitrarily, translates into V-shapes, that is sudden changes of the sign of the price drift. We use this insight to develop a new tool for the detection of reverting drift, the V-statistic. We apply this tool to (i) quantify the extent of this kind of market inefficiency in the U.S. stock market during the Covid-19 pandemic; and (ii) show the harmful consequences of V-shapes on financial stability by estimating the huge loss suffered by Italian taxpayers (0.45B euros) in May 2018, when a transient crash hit the secondary bond market during a Treasury auction. /Joint with Maria Flora./ *Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590058916?pwd=VEowc2NUcm5rNmtFdWQ0MlMxUEVLQT09>* Meeting ID: 825 9005 8916 Passcode: 055411 We look forward to your participation! | -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti ||

Padova Online Seminar by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) [Friday, Mar. 26 at 14.30]
by alessandra bianchi 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on March 26 at 14.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) Title: Phase transitions in sparse random graphs and coagulation processes 26 MARCH (Friday) - 14:30 zoom link: TBA available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: Sparse inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos Rényi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are independent but distributed according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. These graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos Rényi model. In this talk we will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes coagulation processes and the phase transition of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is an ongoing joint work with Wolfgang Koenig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Robert Patterson (WIAS) and Heide Langhammer (TU Berlin). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/
