de Finetti seminar, 17 Maggio, Bayraktar
by Marco Maggis 15 May '17

15 May '17

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Erhan Bayraktar University of Michigan TITLE: MINI-FLASH CRASHES AND MODEL MISSPECIFICATION ABSTRACT: Why do mini-flash crashes occur? Human errors, endogenous feedback loops, the nature of modern liquidity provision, fundamental value shocks, and market fragmentation are often implicated. We develop a model which unifies aspects of the first three explanations. Our setup seems to reproduce a number of features of recent mini-flash crashes. For example, there are circumstances in which mini-flash crashes will not occur. When they do, even just before their onset, market participants may not know with certainty whether there will be a crash or spike or that such an event is imminent at all. We appear to observe mini-flash crashes can happen in both low and high trading volume regimes as well. To the best of our knowledge, we also introduce a new paradigm for studying model misspecification risks in an optimal trading context. Our approach is based on making an explicit distinction between reality and our agents’ models for reality. More precisely, each agent’s model for how a certain risky asset’s price will evolve is wrong in two ways: His understanding of how the price would move in his absence and how his actions affect prices are both imperfect. In fact, aside from a single trivial case, none of our agents ever know the correct price dynamics. We highlight how this framework differs from other common methods for addressing trading model misspecification risks including position limits, sensitivity analysis, Bayesian model averaging, the worst-case framework, and interpolations between the worst-case and classical setups. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 17, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30.

The set of martingale measures with given marginals attracted recently a lot of people in the context of robust finance, where the model is known only through the prices of vanilla options conveyed by the market. We investigate in detail, in the discrete space case, the properties of extremal points of this set, and exhibit several classes of interest, altogether with a useful necessary conditions for a point to be extremal. We also discuss a candidate analogous of the no-cycle property in the non martingale case and its relations to perturbations. We illustrate our results in low cardinality situations (joint work with Luciano Campi, LSE).* Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario S. Menozzi @ UniTo
by Cristina Zucca 11 May '17

11 May '17

A tutti gli interessati. Martedì 16 maggio alle ore 15:30 in aula 5 presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. S. Menozzi (Evry) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Ergodic approximation of invariant measures for diffusions " Abstract: We present non-asymptotic estimates for the approximation of invariant measures for diffusion processes. We consider an Euler scheme with decreasing step where the occupation measure converges towards the invariant measure. The final estimates can be seen as a non-asymptotic extension of central limit type theorems obtained by Lamberton and Pages (Bernolulli 2002). Our approach combines probabilistic techniques (increments of martingales) and analytic arguments (Schauder's estimates for the associated Poisson process). -- Dr. Cristina Zucca Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto 10 10123 Torino, Italy tel: +39-011-6702850 fax: +39-011-6702878
