14th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C R E D I T 2015 *Societal Fault Lines and Credit Risk: The Impact of Current Economic, Institutional and Political Developments on Credit and Risk* Venice, Italy 1 - 2 October 2015 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *Center on Sustainable Architecture for Finance (SAFE) at Goethe University Frankfurt* (Frankfurt, Germany), the *University of Zurich* (Zurich, Switzerland) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on October 1-2, 2015. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *fourteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Wealth inequality, firm financing and credit risk* o Is local wealth inequality affecting the quality of institutions and the choice over market versus bank finance, and thereby determining corporate finance and credit risk outcomes? * *Home ownership and credit risk* o Are measures promoting home ownership or financial innovations responding to an increase in ownership demand, for example, resulting in more credit risk? * *Collateral availability, credit and risk* o Is the availability of collateral determining credit granting and credit risk? * *Banking supervision and credit risk* o Is the level and quality of bank supervision leading to an optimal level of credit risk? o What is the impact of the institutional organization of banking supervision on credit risk? * *Central bank policies and credit risk* o Are monetary conditions drivers of bank credit risk taking? Under all circumstances? The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Steven Ongena*, University of Zurich, Programme Chair *Mark Carey, *Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System *Hans Degryse*, KU Leuven *Jan Krahnen*, Goethe University *André Lucas*, VU University Amsterdam *Loriana Pelizzon*, Ca Foscari University of Venice and Goethe University *Stephen Schaefer*, London Business School The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received from invited speakers include *Viral Acharya* (New York University), *Mark Carey* (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), *Hayne Leland* (University of California, Berkeley), *Jean Charles Rochet* (University of Zurich) and *Vikrant Vig* (London Business School). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems.

I seminari sono organizzati - dal Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano” dell’Università di Torino - dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Segue l’abstract del doppio seminario. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero (Università di Torino e Collegio Carlo Alberto) Laura Sacerdote (Università di Torino) Abstract: The Lamperti-Kiu transformation for real-valued self-similar Markov processes (rssMp) states that, associated to each rssMp via a space-time transformation, is a Markov additive process (MAP). In the case that the rssMp is taken to be an α-stable process with α ∈ (0,2), the characteristics of the matrix exponent of the semi-group of the embedded MAP (the Lamperti-stable MAP) are computed. Specifically, the matrix exponent of the Lamperti-stable MAP’s transition semi-group can be written in a compact form using only gamma functions. Just as with Lévy processes, there exists a factorisation of the (matrix) exponents of MAPs, with each of the two factors uniquely characterising the ascending and descending ladder processes, which themselves are again MAPs. To our knowledge, not a single example of such a factorisation currently exists in the literature. In this talk we provide a completely explicit Wiener-Hopf factorisation for the Lamperti-stable MAP. As a consequence of our methodology, we also get additional new results concerning space-time invariance properties of stable processes. --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

********************************************************************* SEMINARIO DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA ******************************************************************** DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA UNIVERSITA' LA SAPIENZA DI ROMA ******************************************************************** piazzale Aldo Moro 2, 00185 Roma ******************************************************************* Yosi Rinott (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and LUISS) Title: On Measuring and Comparing Usefulness of Statistical Models Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica Venerdi' 8 maggio, ore 14,30 Abstract: Statistical models in econometrics, biology, and most other areas, should not be expected to be "correct", and often are not very accurate, but may still be useful. The choice of a model for the analysis of data depends on the purpose of the analysis, the nature of the data, and also on the sample or data size. Erev, Roth, Slonim and Barron (2007) [Economic Theory, 33, 29–51] studied models for prediction of future play in game-theoretic experiments and proposed an approach for quantification of the value of a model. Combining ideas from the latter article and the well-known AIC criterion, we propose another quantification of the chosen model's relative predictive value, which depends on the data and its size. Our research was first motivated by data from experimental economics, and we also study the Hardy-Weinberg model in biology.

Cari amici vi invito a partecipare al seminario di Max Fathi (Università di Parigi Jussieu) presso il dipartimento di matematica dell'università di Roma La Sapienza (sito in piazzale Aldo Moro 5, Roma), i cui dettagli sono riportati di seguito. A presto Mauro Mariani Data ed aula: lunedì 11 maggio, ore 14:30, aula di consiglio (primo piano) Titolo: A gradient flow approach to large deviations for diffusion processes Sunto: In the 80s, De Giorgi introduced the notion of abstract gradient flows, which allowed to define a notion of solutions to ordinary differential equations of the form x' = −grad F(x) on metric spaces (rather than Riemannian manifolds for the usual definition). In 2005, Ambrosio, Gigli and Savare showed that when we consider the space of probability measures on R d endowed with the Wasserstein metric, this notion allows to give an alternate formulation for Fokker-Planck equations. These equations are the PDEs whose solutions are the flow of marginals of solutions of stochastic differential equations of the form dX = −grad H(X)dt + dB . In this talk, I will explain how we can use this notion to study large deviations for sequences of SDEs. The main result is that proving a large deviation principle is equivalent to studying the limit of a sequence of functionals that appear in the abstract gradient flow formulation for Fokker-Planck equations. As an application, I will show how to obtain large deviations from the hydrodynamic scaling limit for a system of interacting continuous spins in a random environment.

Rettifica data e ora seminario di Thomas Richthammer a Roma Tre

Prof. Thomas Richthammer (Univ. Hildesheim) Title: The variance of particle positions in the hard disk model When: Giovedi' 14 Maggio 2015 ORE 14:00 Where: Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre AULA 311 (SEMINARI) Largo San L. Murialdo,1 Abstract: The hard disk model describes random configurations of disks in the plane, interacting only via hard core exclusion. It is believed that the model exhibits a weak form of crystallization for large activity (i.e. high particle density). In spite of its simplicity, there are only very few rigorous results on the hard disk model. I will present a very recent result which can be interpreted as a lower bound on the variance of particle positions in terms of the size of the system. The result is obtained via a certain tansformation on particle configurations. It builds on an earlier result concerning the absence of positional order.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venerdì 8 Maggio, ore 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma PROF. K.A. PENSON (Theoretical Physics, Sorbonne, Univ. Paris VI, France) terrà un seminario dal titolo: *PROBABILISTIC AND FREE-PROBABILISTIC PROPERTIES OF 2D CONSTELLATION NUMBERS* *Abstract:* After a short introduction about the properties of classical Catalan numbers and their role in Physics we shall dwell on a certain quite vast generalisation of Catalan numbers called the constellation numbers. We solve exactly the Hausdorff moment problem for these numbers and provide explicit expressions for appropriate positive weight functions. For certain values of parameters we analyse the properties of these solutions from the point of view of the free probability, and demonstrate their infinite divisibility with respect to the free additive convolution. We introduce the idea of fractional constellation numbers and provide complete solutions to this particular case. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Saluti Alessandro De Gregorio
