Mark Podolskij's seminar at LUISS (hybrid mode)
by Sara 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Dear all, Professor Mark Podolskij ( https://wwwen.uni.lu/research/fstm/dmath/people/mark_podolskij) will give a seminar on *Thursday, April 20 at noon in room 205:* *Title * On Estimation of the Maximal Rank of Stochastic Volatility *Abstract* In this talk we address the question of how many Brownian motions are required to model a multivariate price process of diffusion type. It turns out that this question is equivalent to estimation of the maximal rank of the volatility component. We solve this mathematical problem in the high frequency regime and provide a formal estimation and testing procedure. If the time allows we touch upon high dimensional aspects of the problem. Please, find here the link to the seminar virtual room: Link room 205 B: https://luiss.webex.com/luiss-en/j.php?MTID=me3d961dc4b3575085d5d4b6a304e2d… guest username: w_guest(a)luiss.it pw : i7G3HiAKq2Q Best regards, Sara ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Sara Biagini* Department of Economics and Finance *LUISS University* Address: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Roma *Web* (institutional): https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/docenti/cv/352478 *Web* (personal): https://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

To support my claims, I will focus on the Demographic Parity fairness constraint, describing various connections to classical statistical theory, optimal transport, and conformal prediction literature. In particular, we will study the form of an optimal prediction function under this constraint in both regression and classification. Then, I will describe a learning procedure which is supported by statistical guarantees under no or mild assumptions on the underlying data distribution. This talk is based on a sequence of joint works with Ch. Denis, S. Gaucher, M. Hebiri, L. Oneto, M. Pontil, and N. Schreuder. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89455985680?pwd=OXBPZSthaG5pRjZGbDNMVk9MMG1PQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Si avvisa che in data 21-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Fulvia Mecatti, Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca Titolo: What is big in big data? A sampling statistician perspective Abstract: BigData users as well as BigData research community are fast growing bigger and bigger while statisticians at large seem to be growing divided between enthusiastic and worried, when not downright hostile. Is BigData also a big step ahead to extract information and actual knowledge from data? Is BigData underplaying statistical inference as we know it? Supplanting stats methodology as a low-cost futuristic option? As a (mainly) sampling statistician, in this webinar I shall try to decipher the multifaceted relationship connecting BigData to statistical and to sampling methodology, starting with the still blurry definition of BigData and discussing some very personal considerations and views. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2272 Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it <https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it/>

SPASS Seminar: Vittoria Silvestri
by Francesco Grotto 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models* Vittoria Silvestri (Università di Roma 1 La Sapienza) The seminar will take place on TUE, 18.4.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will discuss shape theorems and fluctuations of ALE clusters, which include Hastings-Levitov clusters as particular cases, in the subcritical regime. Based on joint work with James Norris and Amanda Turner.*

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 14 Aprile 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Peter Grunwald* (CWI and Universitet Leiden, Netherlands) Title: *E is for Evidence* Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value, despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. We present the e-value, a recently popularized notion of evidence which overcomes some of these issues. While e-values were only given a name as recently as 2019, interest in them has since exploded with papers in the Annals, JRSS B, Biometrika and the like – June 2022 saw the first international workshop on e-values, a second one is planned. In simple cases, e-values coincide with Bayes factors. But if the null is composite or nonparametric, or an alternative cannot be explicitly formulated, e-values and Bayes factors become distinct and e-processes can be seen as a generalization of nonnegative supermartingales. Thus, unlike the Bayes factor, e-values always allow for tests with strict frequentist Type-I error control under optional continuation of data collection and combination of data from different sources. E-values are also the basic building blocks of anytime-valid confidence intervals that remain valid under continuous monitoring and optional stopping. In parametric settings they tend to be strictly wider than, hence consistent with Bayesian credible intervals. This led to the development of the e-posterior, an analogue to the Bayesian posterior that gets wider rather than wrong if the prior is chosen badly. This work is based on: P. Grunwald,. R. de Heide, W. Koolen (2023). Safe Testing. To appear in J. Roy. Stat. Soc., Series B P. Grunwald (2023) . The E-Posterior. Proc. Phil. Trans. Soc.

OWPS Tomorrow: Fabio Toninelli and Giuseppe Cannizzaro

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (17:00 to 19:00 Central European Time), Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) and Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) Title : Out-of-equilibrium phenomena, stochastic PDEs and Gaussian limits Abstract : I will report on mathematical progress on certain (non-linear, singular) stochastic PDEs that model effectively the mesoscopic behaviour of some out-of-equilibrium physical systems, most notably stochastic interface growth and driven diffusive systems. Scaling and Renormalization Group arguments suggest that, above the critical dimension d=2, the large-scale behaviour of these equations should be Gaussian. Our results imply, indeed, Gaussian scaling limits in dimension d\ge 3 (for driven diffusive systems) and also, at least in the regime of weak non-linearity, in the critical dimension d=2 (both for driven diffusive systems and for the Anisotropic KPZ equation). Talk : Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title : Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs Abstract : The study of stochastic PDEs has known tremendous advances in recent years and, thanks to Hairer's theory of regularity structures and Gubinelli and Perkowski's paracontrolled approach, (local) existence and uniqueness of solutions of subcritical SPDEs is by now well-understood. The goal of this talk is to move beyond the aforementioned theories and present novel tools to derive the scaling limit (in the so-called weak coupling scaling) for certain stationary SPDEs at the critical dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Ramirez, and many others, in the context of particle systems in the supercritical dimension and might be well-suited to study a much wider class of statistical mechanics models at criticality.

SPASS Seminar: Riccardo Montalto
by Francesco Grotto 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Construction on quasi-periodic nonlinear waves in fluid mechanics,* Riccardo Montalto (Milano Statale). The seminar will take place on TUE, 4.4.2023 at 13:30 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. *Please notice that the seminar will take place half an hour earlier than usual.* The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk I will discuss some recent results on Euler and Navier Stokes equations concerning the construction of quasi-periodic solutions and the problem of the inviscid limit for the Navier Stokes equation. I will discuss the following results:* *1) Construction of quasi-periodic solutions for the Euler equation with a time quasi-periodic external force, bifurcating from a constant, diophantine velocity field;2) I shall discuss the inviscid limit problem from the perspective of KAM theory, namely I shall prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions of the Navier Stokes equation converging to the one of the Euler equation constructed in 1) . The main difficulty is that this is a singular limit problem. We overcome this difficulty by implementing a normal form methods which allow to prove sharp estimates (global in time) w.r. to the viscosity parameter;3) (time permitting) I also discuss the construction of quasi-periodic traveling waves bifurcating from the Couette flow for the autonomous 2D Euler equation.These works are based on collaborations with Luca Franzoi and Nader Masmoudi. *

In this talk I will discuss a family of Gibbsian measures on the set of Laguerre tessellations. These measures may be used to provide a systematic approach for constructing Gibbsian solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs by exploring the Eularian description of the shock dynamics. Such solutions depend on kernels satisfying kinetic-like equations reminiscent of the Smoluchowski model for coagulating and fragmenting particles. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Webinar UMI-PRISMA 3 aprile Campi-Callegaro
by Claudia Ceci 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Buongiorno a tutt*, ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 3 aprile 2023* ore 16-17 LUCIANO CAMPI Title: Correlated equilibria and mean field games Abstract: In the context of mean field games (MFGs), we introduce a generalization of mean field game solution, called correlated solution, which can be seen as the mean field game analogue of a correlated equilibrium. The latter is a generalization of Nash equilibrium for stochastic games. Our notion of solution can be justified in two ways for MFGs in discrete time and finite state space: correlated solutions arise as limits of exchangeable correlated equilibria in restricted (Markov open-loop) strategies for the underlying $N$-player games, and approximate $N$-player correlated equilibria can be constructed starting from a correlated solution to the mean field game. Moreover, those results can be extended to progressive deviations, possibly depending on the whole history of the state and the flow of measures. In this talk we will focus especially on a further extension to continuous time MFGs through the notion of coarse correlated equilibrium. This talk is based on joint works with O. Bonesini, F. Cannerozzi and M. Fischer. ore 17-18 GIORGIA CALLEGARO Title: McKean–Vlasov Game of Commodity Production, Consumption and Trading Abstract: We propose a model where a producer and a consumer can affect the price dynamics of some commodity controlling drift and volatility of, respectively, the production rate and the consumption rate. We assume that the producer has a short position in a forward contract on λ units of the underlying at a fixed price F, while the consumer has the corresponding long position. Moreover, both players are risk-averse with respect to their financial position and their risk aversions are modelled through an integrated-variance penalization. We study the impact of risk aversion on the interaction between the producer and the consumer as well as on the derivative price. In mathematical terms, we are dealing with a two-player linear-quadratic McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential game. Using methods based on the martingale optimality principle and BSDEs, we find a Nash equilibrium and characterize the corresponding strategies and payoffs in semi-explicit form. Furthermore, we compute the two indifference prices (one for the producer and one for the consumer) induced by that equilibrium and we determine the quantity λ such that the players agree on the price. Finally, we illustrate our results with some numerics. In particular, we focus on how the risk aversions and the volatility control costs of the players affect the derivative price.

At the event page link you can find the paper, the zoom link to attend online and a button to add the event to your calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22nd @ 12.00 Speaker: Peter Tankov (ENSAE) Title: Decarbonization of financial markets: a mean-field game approach Abstract:We build a model of a financial market where a large number offirms determine their dynamic emission strategies under climate transition risk in the presence of both green-minded and neutral investors.The firms aim to achieve a trade-off between financial and environ-mental performance, while interacting through the stochastic discountfactor, determined in equilibrium by the investors’ allocations. We formalize the problem in the setting of mean-field games and prove the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium for firms. We then presenta convergent numerical algorithm for computing this equilibrium andillustrate the impact of climate transition risk and the presence ofgreen-minded investors on the market decarbonization dynamics andshare prices. We show that uncertainty about future climate risks andpolicies leads to higher overall emissions and higher spreads betweenshare prices of green and brown companies. This effect is partially reversed in the presence of environmentally concerned investors, whoseimpact on the cost of capital spurs companies to reduce emissions.

Seminar by Dr. Vincenzo Candila.
by Giorgio Rizzini 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following seminar by Dr. *Vincenzo Candila* (University of Salerno) on Wednesday March 29th 2023 starting from 4:30 p.m. in room 2062 at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan). *On the tennis winner forecasting methods: from the Weighted Elo rates to the network-based indicators* *Vincenzo **Candila* Department of Economics and Statistics University of Salerno *Abstract:* Statistical methods for predicting the winner in tennis matches have increased in popularity over the last two decades. Currently, several techniques are available, such as the regression-based, point-based, and paired-comparison approaches. Within this latter class, the Elo rating is one of the most popular methods to predict the probability of winning tennis matches. Even with its widely recognized merits in terms of good performance, the Elo method only partially considers each player's current form and recent performances. To overcome this drawback, we have proposed a new version of the Elo rating method, labeled Weighted Elo (WElo), where the standard Elo rates are weighted according to the scoreline of the players’ last match. More recently, we have further enlarged the paired-comparison class of models, introducing the network-based indicators for the first time to allow the ratings of the whole set of players to vary every time there is a new match. This work aims to illustrate the main characteristics of the WElo and network-based rates. In the empirical applications, we show the statistically meaningful benefits of using the proposed approaches with respect to many popular competing specifications. *March 29th, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.* *Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods* *Room **2062* * - Building U7 (Second floor)* *Bicocca degli Arcimboldi street, 8 – 20126 Milan* For further information, please write to rosanna.grassi(a)unimib.it

Seminar: Francesco Vaccarino at Tor Vergata
by salvi 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 15th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Francesco Vaccarino (Politecnico di Torino) with the seminar _ _ _"Hodge-Shapley game: a Laplacian-based Shapley-like associated game for eXplainable AI"_ _ _ Abstract: In cooperative game theory, a set of players or decision-makers should negotiate to decide how to allocate the worth gained by the coalition composed of all the players. A value is a solution concept that suggests the outcome of the negotiation among players. Among the many existing alternative solution concepts, it is prevalent the Shapley value solution concept. Its popularity also derives from the property of being a fair allocation, where a set of desirable properties or axioms describes fairness. The axioms characterize the Shapley value in the sense that it is the unique value satisfying those properties; at the same time, the axioms allow deriving a simple explicit combinatorial formula to compute the Shapley value. In our approach, coalitions are the main subjects of cooperation, instead of single players, and, inspired by the Shapley value, the goal is to derive a fair associated game, i.e. an allocation to coalitions satisfying a set of desirable properties. The methodology is based on using the Hodge decomposition of the simplicial complex associated with the partially ordered set of the subsets of the set of players ordered by inclusion. We will motivate this investigation within the framework of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Joint work with Antonio Mastropietro (Eurecom - F) We encourage in-person partecipation.

Next OWPS on March 29th: Milton Jara and Otávio Menezes
by Alberto Chiarini 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 29th of March from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speakers are: Milton Jara (IMPA) and Otávio Menezes (Purdue University) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Milton Jara (IMPA) and Otávio Menezes (Purdue University) Title : CLT for NESS Abstract : Non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) are ubiquitous in nature, but not well understood from a mathematical point of view. The main features of NESS is the presence of non-trivial currents, which generate long-range correlations in the system. Modeling physical systems by Markov chains, one can restate questions about NESS as the description of invariant measures for non-reversible Markov chains. This opens the way to describe NESS by probabilistic methods. However, basic questions for non-reversible Markov chains, like for example mixing times or quantitative CLTs are not been answered in great generality. Our first talk will introduce NESS with some examples, and it will introduce general and fairly elementary methodology for Markov chains that we believe is well suited to the study of non-reversible Markov chains. The second talk will describe some recent results about the description of NESS for driven-diffusive systems.

Seminar announcement: M. Tarsia on time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems – March 29, 2023 – 13:00-14:00
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, On March 29, 2023, 13:00-14:00, Dr. Marco Tarsia (University of Insubria) will give a talk on “Subgame-perfect equilibrium strategies for time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems” (joint work with Elisa Mastrogiacomo). The seminar will be held in person and online via the MS Teams platform. Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWU0MDRiNjctYWNmYS00… Place: Dipartimento di Economia, Via Monte Generoso 71, room TBA. Below you can find an abstract of Marco’s talk. You are all invited. *** Abstract In this talk, we discuss about time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems, i.e., for which Bellman’s principle of optimality does not hold. In practice, a restriction of an optimal control for a specific initial pair on a later time interval might not be optimal for that corresponding initial pair; this happens, for instance, in dynamic utility maximization problems for investment- consumption strategies under non-exponential discounting. For this class of problems classical optimal controls may fail to exist, or to be relevant in practice, and dynamic programming is not easily applicable. Therefore, the notion of optimality is defined through a game-theoretic framework by means of subgame-perfect equilibrium: we interpret our preference changes which, realistically, are inconsistent over time, as players in a game for which we want to find a Nash equilibrium. The approach followed in our work relies on the stochastic (Pontryagin) maximum principle: we adapt the classical spike variation technique to obtain a characterization of equilibrium strategies in terms of a generalized second-order Hamiltonian function defined through pairs of backward stochastic differential equations, even in the multidimensional case. We emphasize that, similarly to the classical case, equilibrium strategies are characterized through both a necessary condition and a sufficient condition involving the generalized Hamiltonian function, whereas, contrary to the classical case, this sufficient condition works even in the absence of extra convexity assumptions. Going further, our analysis is extended to time-inconsistent recursive stochastic control problems under a constraint defined by means of an additional recursive utility, under appropriate boundedness assumptions. That constraint refers to an expected value and so we adapt Ekeland’s variational principle to this trickier situation. Finally, the theoretical results are applied in the financial field to finite horizon investment-consumption policies with non-exponential actualization. Here the existence of non-trivial equilibrium policies is also ascertained.

Seminario di Marta Leocata, Martedì 21 Marzo, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Ricordo il seminario di oggi, e segnalo che sarà trasmesso su zoom al seguente link: *Zoom link: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/98462690288?pwd=SnYrNmpTQXQxZEI2UmN3VW1ucVNBdz09 Meeting ID: 984 6269 0288 Passcode: 683135 *Martedì 21 Marzo, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Marta Leocata, SNS *Title: *Modeling an example of green transition *Abstract:* The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some kind of interaction between many subjects and collective behaviors seem to play a role. We have identified as a first example the case of solar photovoltaic, with the purpose of explaining the time series of Italy and of different regions. We use tools from continuous-time Markov chains, mean field limits, optimal control, and mean field games. Then, we specify our analysis on the case of domestic installations. In order to explain them we propose a Markovian model of interacting particle systems to describe the decision of a significant proportion of the general public in Italy on the installation of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and compare our models to real data. We assume that the adoption decision follows a well precise pattern. First, the general public develops a certain level of sensitivity to climate change and environmental issues. Then it plans to install the PVs because she/he has a sufficient amount of information on the benefits of PVs. Finally, it installs PVs because the economic benefits out-weights the costs. In conclusion, we propose some original policies, not based not on financial incentives. This work is in collaboration with Franco Flandoli (SNS), Giulia Livieri (SNS), Silvia Morlacchi (SNS), Fausto Corvino (University of Gothenburg) and Alberto Pirni (SSSA). ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Nicola Turchi (Università Milano Bicocca)
by alessandra bianchi 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on March 31 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ *Speaker*: Nicola Turchi (Università Milano Bicocca) *Title*: High-dimensional random polytopes of the Beta kind *Date and time*: Friday, MARCH 31 at 14.30 *Place*: room 1BC45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link*: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/82935460505 (Meeting ID 829 3546 0505) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract*: Beta polytopes are a class of random polytopes, which arise as convex hulls of independent random points distributed according to a certain radially-symmetric probability distribution supported on the Euclidean ball, called the beta distribution. A prominent reason for the interest surrounding them is that the beta distribution exhibits peculiar properties that make exact computations possible to achieve, contrarily to most other models of randomness with non-independent coordinates. As the space dimension grows, the expected fraction of the volume that these polytopes fill within their supporting balls can be asymptotically negligible or not, depending on the number of points which are picked in each dimension. In this talk we give an overview on how to quantify this statement, first showing a rough threshold for the aforementioned growth and secondly a more precise one, namely how many points are needed to get any fraction in average. Lastly, we show how we can handle more precise asymptotics for the approach towards zero in the lower regimes of points, based on a work in progress with G. Bonnet and Z. Kabluchko. -- 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/

LTI@Unito Seminars| Dimitri Vayanos (March 7) and Johan Hombert (March 8) @ 12.00
by Luca Regis 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti) and Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 7th @ 12.00 (webinar) Speaker: Dimitri Vayanos (LSE) Title: Passive Investing and the Rise of Mega-Firms Abstract: We study how passive investing affects asset prices. Flows into passive funds raise dispropor-tionately the stock prices of the economy’s largest firms—even when the indices tracked by the funds include all firms. Passive flows also raise the largest firms’ return volatility the most, andraise the aggregate stock market even when they are entirely due to investors switching from active to passive. These effects arise because of the re-pricing of systematic and large firms’idiosyncratic risk. We estimate that passive investing caused the 50 largest US firms to rise 30%more than the US stock market over 1996–2020.

Using the late 1990s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) boom as a laboratory, we show that skilled labor joining this new sector experienced sizeable long-term earnings losses. We trace these losses to skill obsolescence, that cannot be explained by either selection or the subsequent ICT sector bust. During the boom, capital flowed more to firms whose workers would ultimately experience a larger productivity decline. This suggests that financial capital can amplify the negative effects of labor reallocation into booming sectors on aggregate labor productivity.

40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory: Copulas – Theory and Applications
by Fabrizio, Antonio DURANTE 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Dear Colleague, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 40th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory <https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023> Copulas – Theory and Applications Bildungshaus St. Magdalena, Linz, Austria June 6-9, 2023 Since their inception in 1979 the Linz Seminars on Fuzzy Sets have emphasized the development of mathematical aspects in the context of fuzzy sets by bringing together researchers in fuzzy sets and established mathematicians whose work outside the fuzzy setting can provide direction for further research. The philosophy of the seminar has always been to keep it deliberately small and intimate so that informal critical discussions remain central. LINZ 2023 will be the 40th seminar carrying on this tradition and is devoted to the theme "Copulas — Theory and Applications". The goal of the seminar is to present and to discuss recent advances of copulas and related functions and their applications in pure and applied fields. Accordingly, the topics of the Seminar will include but not be limited to: · Copula theory o From bivariate to multivariate copulas o Dependence measures and association o Approximation and convergence of copulas o Measure theoretic aspects of copulas o Copulas in the discrete setting · Copula applications o Applications in pure and applied fields o Estimation in the context of copulas o Copula methods in Data Science o Feature selection · Relationship to other aggregation functions o Triangular (co)norms, implications o Uninorms, nullnorms o Quasi-copulas, semicopulas o Distribution functions The "Linz" tradition has these key features: the number of participants of the Linz Seminars is usually bounded above by 40 with broad international representation and an enjoyable mix of pure and applied interests; there are no parallel sessions so that all participants focus on each presentation and fully engage in each topic; and there is time for discussion of each presentation, with follow up round table(s) for discussion of open problems and issues raised in the talks. In particular, young researchers (PhD students, junior post-docs) are encouraged to submit their latest results. Please submit your extended abstract (up to 4 pages) by March 29th, 2023 following the guidelines provided at the webpage of the seminar. Further Information about the seminar(s) is available at: https://www.flll.jku.at/linz2023 and https://www.flll.jku.at/linzseminars We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you in Linz, Best regards, Fabrizio Durante, Susanne Saminger-Platz, Wolfgang Trutschnig (Program Chairs) --------------------------------------------------------- Fabrizio Durante Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Economia Centro Ecotekne Pal.
