Title: A new approach to the cutoff phenomenon
Abstract: The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity. Discovered forty years ago in the context of card shuffling, it has since then been observed in a variety of examples, from random walks on random graphs to high-temperature spin glasses. Nevertheless, a general theory is still missing, and identifying the precise mechanisms that underlie this phase transition remains one of the biggest challenges in the quantitative analysis of finite Markov chains. In the first part of the lecture, I will try to provide a self-contained introduction to this fascinating question. In the second part, I will describe a new approach based on entropy and curvature, which has recently led to a systematic proof of cutoff for a relatively broad class of chains.

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
CREDIT 2023
*Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks *
Venice, Italy
21 –22 September 2023
*
*
*GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European
Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank
*(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa
Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be
held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023.
The CREDIT 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners
and PhD students working in various areas of financial and
socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for
participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as
industry-relevant insights and directions for future research.
The CREDIT 2023 is the*twenty-second *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 *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana
Financial Industry Risk Managers*.
Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to
climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms
previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and
so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact
of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but
social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw
materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which
inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate
local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical
tensions, with global systemic consequences. The CREDIT 2023 conference
will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to
discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial
impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the
stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems.
The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall
theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular:
* *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and
wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and
employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling
issues will increase or help the transition?;
* *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long
term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green
transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic
trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social
inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how
these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given
country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and
thus of sovereign debt;
* *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks
for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks
for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have
implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from
accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks
and firms;
* *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance
of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition
costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of
energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications
for medium and long term investments in energy production
technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure;
Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate
assets, especially for homeowners and households;
* *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market
equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset
prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural
transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the
possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement
versus divesting.
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers.
Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Elisa
Giuliani* (University of Pisa), *Helen Rey *(London Business School),
*Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management), and *Moritz
Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference
will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with
the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers and a
session dedicated to the EU funded project *TranspArEEnS*.
The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of:
*Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme
Chair)
*Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission)
*Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute)

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO

Mercoledi 10 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto,

Speaker: *Regina Liu* (Rutgers University, USA)
Title: *Fusion Learning: Combining Inferences from Diverse Data Sources*
Abstract:
Advanced data collection technology nowadays has often made inferences from
diverse data sources easily accessible. Fusion learning refers to combining
inferences from multiple sources or studies to make a more effective
overall inference than that from any individual source or study alone. We
focus on the tasks: 1) Whether/When to combine inferences? 2) How to
combine inferences efficiently? 3) How to combine inference to enhance an
individual or target study? We present a general framework for
nonparametric and efficient fusion learning for inference on
multi-parameters, which may be correlated. The main tool underlying this
framework is the new notion of depth confidence distribution (depth-CD),
which is developed by combining data depth, bootstrap and confidence
distributions. We show that a depth-CD is an omnibus form of confidence
regions, whose contours of level sets shrink toward the true parameter
value, and thus an all-encompassing inferential tool. The approach is shown
to be efficient, general and robust. It readily applies to heterogeneous
studies with a broad range of complex and irregular settings. This property
also enables the approach to utilize indirect evidence from incomplete
studies to gain efficiency for the overall inference. The approach will be
shown with simulation studies and real applications in aircraft landing
performance tracking and in financial forecasting.
