Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino
by Matteo Ruggiero 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Con preghiera di diffusione ai potenziali interessati ----------------------------------------------- Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino Project title: CONSTRUCTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND INFERENCE FOR DIFFUSIONS IN STOCHASTIC POPULATION DYNAMICS Project supervisor: Matteo RUGGIERO (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it <https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.matteoruggiero.it&source=gmail-imap…> Brief description (the focus of the project can be adapted to the position holder’s background): The project aims at constructing new diffusion processes for modelling temporally evolving vectors of frequencies and to investigate appropriate inferential strategies when these are seen as hidden Markov models. These processes typically take values on multi-dimensional or infinite-dimensional simplices, and their temporal mechanisms, often related to evolutionary forces used in stochastic population dynamics, typically have commonly used prior distributions in Bayesian statistics as stationary measures. The construction of such models will be achieved by means of approximating sequences of Markov chains after appropriate rescaling, and inference will be tackled exploiting the existence of certain dual processes through particle filtering or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Further info: matteo.ruggiero(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.ruggiero@unito.it> Application deadline: January 23, 2023 (PhD title possession not needed at the time of application) Call and instructions for applying available at https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/&s…> (Numero di repertorio: 5931; selezione ESOMAS.2022.18/XXV) ----------------------------------------------- Cordiali saluti Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

seminar on January 11, 2023 - Giulia Di Nunno
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 11th of January 2023 at 16:30* in Aula Seminari 4026 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 4th floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: *Sandwiched Volterra volatility models and hedging* Abstract: We present the Sandwiched Volterra Volatility (SVV) model and we discuss some of its characteristic properties. We then move to consider hedging and consider the explicit computation of quadratic hedging strategies. While the theoretical solution is well-known in terms of the non-anticipating derivative for all square integrable claims, the fact that these models are typically non-Markovian provides a concrete difficulty in the direct computation of conditional expectations at the core of the explicit hedging strategy. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a Markovian approximation of the model which stems from an adequate approximation of the kernel in the Volterra noise. We show some numerical simulations performed with different methods.
