Extends QHawkes to MQHawkes for analyzing financial co-jumps.
A method to identify new classes of price jumps in financial markets.
We quantify how co-jumps impact correlations in currency markets. To disentangle the continuous part of quadratic covariation from co-jumps, and study the influence of co-jumps on correlations, we propose a new wavelet-based estimator. The proposed estimation framework is able to localize the co-jumps very precisely th…
We study the role of co-jumps in the interest rate futures markets. To disentangle continuous part of quadratic covariation from co-jumps, we localize the co-jumps precisely through wavelet coefficients and identify statistically significant ones. Using high frequency data about U.S. and European yield curves we quanti…
We provide a general probabilistic framework within which we establish scaling limits for a class of continuous-time stochastic volatility models with self-exciting jump dynamics. In the scaling limit, the joint dynamics of asset returns and volatility is driven by independent Gaussian white noises and two independent …
Study proposes pricing mechanism for cryptocurrency options.
Efficient method for pricing European and American options using Markov switching stochastic volatility model.
In this paper we consider two semimartingales driven by diffusions and jumps. We allow both for finite activity and for infinite activity jump components. Given discrete observations we disentangle the {\it integrated covariation} (the covariation between the two diffusion parts, indicated by IC) from the co-jumps. Thi…
The paper tackles reinforcement learning with exogenous variables and rewards.
Existence of incomplete Radner equilibrium with endogenous noise tracker.
Transformers can handle endogeneity in linear regression using IV methods.
Easy conditions found for simplifying complex systems.
New findings allow infinite mean intensity Hawkes processes to be stable.
Systems with long-range persistence and memory are shown to exhibit different precursory as well as recovery patterns in response to shocks of exogeneous versus endogeneous origins. By endogeneous, we envision either fluctuations resulting from an underlying chaotic dynamics or from a stochastic forcing origin which ma…
This paper models financial contagion with endogenously determined market liquidity.
Endogenous business cycles explain higher comovement across countries.
Study classifies stock price jumps as exogenous or endogenous using news data.
In this article we consider the volatility inference in the presence of both market microstructure noise and endogenous time. Estimators of the integrated volatility in such a setting are proposed, and their asymptotic properties are studied. Our proposed estimator is compared with the existing popular volatility estim…
New method tackles endogeneity in online learning with improved regret bounds.
Test for linearizing 2-input systems with 2D feedback.
Paper corrects bias in online learning algorithms with endogenous data.
Finance is about how the continuous stream of news gets incorporated into prices. But not all news have the same impact. Can one distinguish the effects of the Sept. 11, 2001 attack or of the coup against Gorbachev on Aug., 19, 1991 from financial crashes such as Oct. 1987 as well as smaller volatility bursts? Using a …
A new boosting method corrects endogeneity bias in instrumental variable regression.
Method estimates exogenous and endogenous factors from event times.
The paper studies the continuous-time dynamics of VIX with stochastic volatility and jumps in VIX and volatility. Built on the general parametric affine model with stochastic volatility and jump in logarithm of VIX, we derive a linear relation between the stochastic volatility factor and VVIX index. We detect the exist…
Paper proposes a new model to assess risks in energy storage systems considering both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties.
In order to disentangle the internal dynamics from exogenous factors within the Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) model, we present an effective measure of endogeneity. Inspired from the Hawkes model, this measure is defined as the average fraction of events that are triggered due to internal feedback mechanism…
We developed a novel statistical method to identify structural differences between networks characterized by structural equation models. We propose to reparameterize the model to separate the differential structures from common structures, and then design an algorithm with calibration and construction stages to identif…
This paper highlights the role of risk neutral investors in generating endogenous bubbles in derivatives markets. We find that a market for derivatives, which has all the features of a perfect market except completeness and has some risk neutral investors, can exhibit extreme price movements which represent a violation…
Study optimal reinsurance for insurers with a reinsurer's default risk.
Investor optimizes utility in a market with endogenous pricing.
We present a model that investigates the spontaneous emergence of randomness in equity market microstructure. The phase space analysis of our model exposes an endogenous source of fluctuation in price and volume. We formulate a control problem for maximizing price regularity and stability while minimizing entanglement …
Study detects endogenous bubbles in meme stocks using CI.
The CAPM's market returns are endogenously determined, affecting all assets' expected returns.
AC-State discovers minimal latent state for control.
Study reveals 2020 stock crashes were mostly endogenous, not exogenous.
Exogenous state variables and rewards can slow down reinforcement learning by injecting uncontrolled variation into the reward signal. We formalize exogenous state variables and rewards and identify conditions under which an MDP with exogenous state can be decomposed into an exogenous Markov Reward Process involving on…
Paper develops a new estimator for panel data with endogenous treatments, improving causal inference.
Survival strategies in a market with self-determined prices are closely tied to log-optimal investment.
We perform an extended analysis of the distribution of drawdowns in the two leading exchange markets (US dollar against the Deutsmark and against the Yen), in the major world stock markets, in the U.S. and Japanese bond market and in the gold market, by introducing the concept of ``coarse-grained drawdowns,'' which all…
A new and an enriched JPEG algorithm is provided for identifying redundancies in a sequence of irregular noisy data points which also accommodates a reference-free criterion function. Our main contribution is by formulating analytically (instead of approximating) the inverse of the transpose of JPEGwavelet transform wi…
The deterrent effect of military alliances is well documented and widely accepted. However, such work has typically assumed that alliances are exogenous. This is problematic as alliances may simultaneously influence the probability of conflict and be influenced by the probability of conflict. Failing to account for suc…
DynForest predicts event probabilities from longitudinal data, handling endogenous predictors.
The study examines pricing American options with both exogenous and endogenous transaction costs.
We introduce a new measure of activity of financial markets that provides a direct access to their level of endogeneity. This measure quantifies how much of price changes are due to endogenous feedback processes, as opposed to exogenous news. For this, we calibrate the self-excited conditional Poisson Hawkes model, whi…
The study shows how probability weighting can lead to betting in a risk-averse economy.
We address microscopic, agent based, and macroscopic, stochastic, modeling of the financial markets combining it with the exogenous noise. The interplay between the endogenous dynamics of agents and the exogenous noise is the primary mechanism responsible for the observed long-range dependence and statistical propertie…
This paper theoretically explains and validates a deep neural network approach to IV estimation.
