The value of stocks, indices and other assets, are examples of stochastic processes with unpredictable dynamics. In this paper, we discuss asymmetries in short term price movements that can not be associated with a long term positive trend. These empirical asymmetries predict that stock index drops are more common on a…

Inverse statistics in economics is considered. We argue that the natural candidate for such statistics is the investment horizons distribution. This distribution of waiting times needed to achieve a predefined level of return is obtained from (often detrended) historic asset prices. Such a distribution typically goes t…

QBVAR improves oil price forecasting across quantiles, especially for downside risk.

problem Forecasting oil prices across different quantiles for better risk assessment.
method Quantile Bayesian Vector Autoregression (QBVAR) model.
result QBVAR improves median forecasts by 2-5% and left-tail forecast improvements of 10-25% during crisis episodes.

Leasing is a popular channel to market new cars. Pricing a leasing contract is complicated because the leasing rate embodies an expectation of the residual value of the car after contract expiration. To aid lessors in their pricing decisions, the paper develops resale price forecasting models. A peculiarity of the leas…

method Developing the Geometric Asymmetric Brownian Motion (GABM) within the Bachelier--Black--Scholes--Merton framework.
result Deriving closed-form option pricing formulas and a discrete-time binomial tree algorithm that converges to the GABM limit.

Bitcoin reacts positively to USDT minting but not burning, showing state-dependence.

problem Understanding Bitcoin's response to Tether's supply changes.
method Analyzing Bitcoin's intraday price movements in response to USDT minting and burning events.
result Bitcoin's response to USDT minting events declines after 60 minutes and is influenced by investor sentiment and public announcements.

We detect and quantify asymmetries in volatility spillovers using the realized semivariances of petroleum commodities: crude oil, gasoline, and heating oil. During the 1987--2014 period we document increasing spillovers from volatility among petroleum commodities that substantially change after the 2008 financial crisi…

This paper uses spectrum analysis to understand price behavior in the Indian stock market.

problem Understanding price formation and discovery in the Indian stock market.
method Adapting mathematical physics theories and spectrum analysis to decompose price cycles.
result Decomposing price cycles helps in understanding the effect of information on price formation and discovery.

We study the pricing of credit derivatives with asymmetric information. The managers have complete information on the value process of the firm and on the default threshold, while the investors on the market have only partial observations, especially about the default threshold. Different information structures are dis…

In recent publications, the authors have considered inverse statistics of the Dow Jones Industrial Averaged (DJIA) [1-3]. Specifically, we argued that the natural candidate for such statistics is the investment horizons distribution. This is the distribution of waiting times needed to achieve a predefined level of retu…

In order to investigate the origin of large price fluctuations, we analyze stock price changes of ten frequently traded NASDAQ stocks in the year 2002. Though the influence of the trading frequency on the aggregate return in a certain time interval is important, it cannot alone explain the heavy tailed distribution of …

problem Capturing asymmetric rough volatility and Zumbach effect.
method Proposes a bivariate QHawkes process to model asymmetric buying and selling actions.
result Derives a super-rough-Heston model preserving the Zumbach effect.

New measures detect asymmetries, non-linearity in stock returns.

problem Detecting asymmetries and non-linearity in stock returns.
method Proposed non-linear, local, invariant dependence measures; nonparametric estimator proven.
result Measures show tail asymmetry, non-linearity, risk buildup during market distress.

We develop a probabilistic consumer choice framework based on information asymmetry between consumers and firms. This framework makes it possible to study market competition of several firms by both quality and price of their products. We find Nash market equilibria and other optimal strategies in various situations ra…
