We describe an agent-based simulation of a fictional (but feasible) information trading business. The Gas Price Information Trader (GPIT) buys information about real-time gas prices in a metropolitan area from drivers and resells the information to drivers who need to refuel their vehicles. Our simulation uses real wor…

This paper presents an optimal allocation problem in a financial market with one risk-free and one risky asset, when the market is driven by a stochastic market price of risk. We solve the problem in continuous time, for an investor with a Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) utility, under two scenarios: when the ma…

In the information-based approach to asset pricing the market filtration is modelled explicitly as a superposition of signals concerning relevant market factors and independent noise. The rate at which the signal is revealed to the market then determines the overall magnitude of asset volatility. By letting this inform…

In financial markets valuable information is rarely circulated homogeneously, because of time required for information to spread. However, advances in communication technology means that the 'lifetime' of important information is typically short. Hence, viewed as a tradable asset, information shares the characteristics…

The FSRM uses a multifractional process to capture price multifractality, revealing serial information for forecasting.

problem Capturing multifractal price dynamics for better forecasting.
method Developed a fractional stochastic regularity model based on multifractional processes and information theory.
result The serial information of the regularity process HtH_t can be theoretically determined, aiding in forecasting future price increments.

In this paper we introduce a class of information-based models for the pricing of fixed-income securities. We consider a set of continuous- time information processes that describe the flow of information about market factors in a monetary economy. The nominal pricing kernel is at any given time assumed to be given by …

Study finds adding more information to robust option pricing does not improve bounds.

problem Exploring robust pricing of financial claims using minimal assumptions.
method Empirical study of variance options, incorporating intermediate market data.
result Incorporating more information does not improve robust pricing bounds.

In this paper incomplete-information models are developed for the pricing of securities in a stochastic interest rate setting. In particular we consider credit-risky assets that may include random recovery upon default. The market filtration is generated by a collection of information processes associated with economic…

A pricing formula for discount bonds, based on the consideration of the market perception of future liquidity risk, is established. An information-based model for liquidity is then introduced, which is used to obtain an expression for the bond price. Analysis of the bond price dynamics shows that the bond volatility is…

A new framework for asset price dynamics is introduced in which the concept of noisy information about future cash flows is used to derive the price processes. In this framework an asset is defined by its cash-flow structure. Each cash flow is modelled by a random variable that can be expressed as a function of a colle…

A new method for pricing European options in changing market conditions.

problem Lack of closed-form solutions for pricing European options in regime-switching models.
method Physics-informed residual learning (PIRL) for efficient option pricing.
result PIRL eliminates the need for retraining and offers near-instantaneous pricing.

When investors have heterogeneous attitudes towards risk, it is reasonable to assume that each investor has a pricing kernel, and that these individual pricing kernels are aggregated to form a market pricing kernel. The various investors are then buyers or sellers depending on how their individual pricing kernels compa…

Bitcoin option prices reflect both market maker supply and trader demand, especially from those with insider information.

problem Understanding how market prices of bitcoin options are influenced by both market makers and informed traders.
method Analysis of Deribit options tick-level data to identify supply and demand effects.
result At-the-money option prices are driven by volatility traders, while out-of-the-money options are influenced by both volatility traders and those with insider information.

Study finds on-chain data can proxy off-chain cryptocurrency pricing.

problem Develop methods to proxy off-chain cryptocurrency pricing using on-chain data.
method Graphical models, mutual information, and ensemble machine learning.
result A significant amount of pricing information is contained in on-chain data, but precise prices are hard to recover except on short time scales.

A limit order book provides information on available limit order prices and their volumes. Based on these quantities, we give an empirical result on the relationship between the bid-ask liquidity balance and trade sign and we show that liquidity balance on best bid/best ask is quite informative for predicting the futur…

result The model shows compatibility with universal price diffusion at small times and non-universal mean-reversion at larger times.

While market is a social field where information flows over the interacting agents, there have been not so many methods to observe the spreading information in the prices comprising the market. By incorporating the entropy transfer in information theory in its relation to the Granger causality, the paper proposes a tre…

result In equilibrium, the insider strategically reveals a noisier signal, making prices less responsive to public information.

This paper presents an overview of information-based asset pricing. In this approach, an asset is defined by its cash-flow structure. The market is assumed to have access to "partial" information about future cash flows. Each cash flow is determined by a collection of independent market factors called X-factors. The ma…

We propose a model to study the effects of delayed information on option pricing. We first talk about the absence of arbitrage in our model, and then discuss super replication with delayed information in a binomial model, notably, we present a closed form formula for the price of convex contingent claims. Also, we addr…

problem Understanding price determinants of EU ETS to inform policy.
method Non-parametric measure (Information Imbalance) to study variables.
result Commodity variables are most informative in Phase 3, while financial variables become more important in Phase 4.

In this paper we extend the theory of option pricing to take into account and explain the empirical evidence for asset prices such as non-Gaussian returns, long-range dependence, volatility clustering, non-Gaussian copula dependence, as well as theoretical issues such as asymmetric information and the presence of limit…

Price without transaction makes no sense. Trading volume authenticates its corresponding price, so there exist mutual information and correlation between price and trading volume. We are curious about fractal features of this correlation and need to know how structures in different scales translate information. To expl…

We study the informational efficiency of a market with a single traded asset. The price initially differs from the fundamental value, about which the agents have noisy private information (which is, on average, correct). A fraction of traders revise their price expectations in each period. The price at which the asset …
