A financial market comprising of a certain number of distinct companies is considered, and the following statement is proved: either a specific agent will surely beat the whole market unconditionally in the long run, or (and this "or" is not exclusive) all the capital of the market will accumulate in one company. Thus,…

Measuring systemic risk or fragility of financial systems is a ubiquitous task of fundamental importance in analyzing market efficiency, portfolio allocation, and containment of financial contagions. Recent attempts have shown that representing such systems as a weighted graph characterizing the complex web of interact…

This paper presents a new model for pricing financial derivatives subject to collateralization. It allows for collateral arrangements adhering to bankruptcy laws. As such, the model can back out the market price of a collateralized contract. This framework is very useful for valuing outstanding derivatives. Using a uni…

This paper evaluates LLMs for technical market analysis, finding GPT-4 Turbo and FinGPT outperform passive benchmarks.

problem Evaluating LLMs for technical market analysis in financial markets.
method Structured evaluation of five LLMs (GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Llama 3 70B, FinGPT) on four tasks: candlestick pattern recognition, directional signal generation, backtesting, and financial report comprehension.
result GPT-4 Turbo and FinGPT outperform passive benchmarks in simulated backtesting, with GPT-4 Turbo achieving the highest annualized return and Sharpe ratio.

This paper investigates two mechanisms of financial contagion that are, firstly, the correlated exposure of banks to the same source of risk, and secondly the direct exposure of banks in the interbank market. It will consider a random network of banks which are connected through the inter-bank market and will discuss t…

problem Characterize increasing profits in a 1D diffusion market with interest rates.
method Characterize increasing profits using an auxiliary deterministic signed measure and a canonical trading strategy.
result Existence and characterization of increasing profits in terms of νν and θθ.

This paper uses MIS to identify key financial institutions with minimal risk contagion.

problem Mitigating systemic risk during extreme financial events.
method Applying extreme value theory and MIS from graph theory to identify diversified portfolios.
result Identified a subset of institutions with minimal extremal dependence for diversified portfolios.

In complex systems like financial market, risk tolerance of individuals is crucial for system resilience.The single-security price limit, designed as risk tolerance to protect investors by avoiding sharp price fluctuation, is blamed for feeding market panic in times of crash.The relationship between the critical market…

StakeBench evaluates language understanding by linking comments to market commitments, improving model alignment with real-world outcomes.

problem Existing financial NLP benchmarks measure perceived language rather than market commitments.
method StakeBench uses observable market behavior to supervise models, testing their ability to detect commitments, identify sides, and project odds.
result Models partially recover position-side signals but struggle with later tasks, highlighting structural failures.

Modern financial networks exhibit a high degree of interconnectedness and determining the causes of instability and contagion in financial networks is necessary to inform policy and avoid future financial collapse. In the American Economic Review, Elliott, Golub and Jackson proposed a simple model for capturing the dyn…

Modeling bank leverage dynamics to understand systemic risk in financial markets.

problem Understanding systemic risk in financial markets triggered by bank leverage dynamics.
method Developed a dynamical model of bank leverage, analyzing coupled dynamics in isolated and interconnected bank models.
result Identified a procyclical feedback loop between asset prices and leverage, leading to chaotic dynamics.

The question we address here is of whether phenomena of collective bankruptcies are related to self-organized criticality. In order to answer it we propose a simple model of banking networks based on the random directed percolation. We study effects of one bank failure on the nucleation of contagion phase in a financia…
