48 results for curve migration

This paper explores the relationships between migration and trade using a complex-network approach. We show that: (i) both weighted and binary versions of the networks of international migration and trade are strongly correlated; (ii) such correlations can be mostly explained by country economic/demographic size and ge…

Knowing and modelling the migration phenomena and especially the social and economic consequences have a theoretical and practical importance, being related to their consequences for development, economic progress (or as appropriate, regression), environmental influences etc. One of the causes of migration, especially …

In this paper we develop a methodology to analyze and compare multiple global networks. We focus our analysis on the relation between human migration and trade. First, we identify the subset of products for which the presence of a community of migrants significantly increases trade intensity. To assure comparability ac…

Model for corporate bond pricing with credit rating migration, solving a double free boundary problem.

problem Corporate bond pricing with credit rating migration risks.
method Established a pricing model as a double free boundary problem, proving existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solution.
result Two free boundaries are shown to be smooth and converge to a traveling wave solution as time goes to infinity.

problem Persistent shifts in interest rates undermine single-regime models.
method Regime-switching generalized CIR model with two-state short-rate process and credit factors.
result The model improves joint curve fit and delivers interpretable probabilities.

The paper develops a new model for order book dynamics using Hawkes processes.

problem Capturing the dynamics of order flow and liquidity migration in financial markets.
method Develops a mesoscopic model using Hawkes processes to describe interactions between order arrivals, cancellations, and liquidity movement.
result Derives a diffusive limit for the order book dynamics, providing a unified framework for market microstructure.

The paper develops ML algorithms for calibrating credit rating transition models for high and low default portfolios.

problem Calibration of credit rating transition models for high and low default portfolios.
method Developed Maximum likelihood (ML) algorithms, including Laplace approximation for high-default portfolios and particle filter with Gaussian process regression for low-default portfolios.
result Both algorithms produce accurate approximations of the likelihood function and ML estimates of model parameters.

Copula models for sovereign ratings improved by incorporating climate risk.

problem Modeling nonlinear dependence and clustering in sovereign rating migrations.
method Mixed-difference transformation, MAGMAR(1,1) copula process, consistent and asymptotically normal estimators.
result Gumbel MAGMAR(1,1) specification outperforms other models in empirical performance.

A dry decade in the Navajo Nation has killed vegetation, dessicated soils, and released once-stable sand into the wind. This sand now covers one-third of the Nation's land, threatening roads, gardens and hundreds of homes. Many arid regions have similar problems: global warming has increased dune movement across farmla…

This work aims mainly to present a project of research about the identification of the determinants that affect the mobility of labor. The empirical part of the work will be performed for the NUTS II and NUTS III of Portugal, from 1996 to 2002 and for 1991 and 2001, respectively (given the availability of statistical d…

New smart contract mechanisms evade traditional AML systems by decoupling transaction roles.

problem Current AML systems fail to track economic value migration in composable smart contracts.
method Introduce PEB separation and state-mediated value migration to demonstrate how traditional tracing fails.
result Transfer-layer observation is incomplete and causally ambiguous in composable smart contracts.

LFlows model fluid densities and velocities using invertible maps that satisfy the continuity equation.

problem Modeling fluid densities and velocities continuously in space and time.
method LFlows are based on invertible maps that satisfy the continuity equation, derived from classical theory of Lagrangian flows for smooth vector fields.
result LFlows show higher predictive accuracy in density modeling tasks compared to competing models in 2D and 3D.

A market with defaultable bonds where the bond dynamics is in a Heath-Jarrow-Morton setting and the forward rates are driven by an infinite number of Levy factors is considered. The setting includes rating migrations driven by a Markov chain. All basic types of recovery are investigated. We formulate necessary and suff…

SAGE generates subsurface velocity models from sparse well logs and seismic images.

problem Lack of high-quality subsurface velocity models due to limited data availability.
method Subsurface AI-driven geostatistical extraction using proxy posterior.
result SAGE produces geologically plausible and statistically accurate velocity realizations.

Given that South African education is in crisis, strategies for improvement and sustainability of high-quality, up-to-date education must be explored. In the migration of education online, inclusion of machine translation for low-resourced local languages becomes necessary. This paper aims to spur the use of current ne…

This paper introduces hierarchical quasi-clustering methods, a generalization of hierarchical clustering for asymmetric networks where the output structure preserves the asymmetry of the input data. We show that this output structure is equivalent to a finite quasi-ultrametric space and study admissibility with respect…

We consider the problem of constructing an appropriate multivariate model for the study of the counterparty credit risk in credit rating migration problem. For this financial problem different multivariate Markov chain models were proposed. However the markovian assumption may be inappropriate for the study of the dyna…

Finding a good compromise between the exploitation of known resources and the exploration of unknown, but potentially more profitable choices, is a general problem, which arises in many different scientific disciplines. We propose a stylized model for these exploration-exploitation situations, including population or e…

We present a Bayesian formulation of weighted stochastic block models that can be used to infer the large-scale modular structure of weighted networks, including their hierarchical organization. Our method is nonparametric, and thus does not require the prior knowledge of the number of groups or other dimensions of the…
