14 results for procyclicality

The study examines how choice of risk measure and volatility estimator affects procyclicality.

problem Understanding the factors affecting procyclicality in risk measure estimation.
method Examined three risk measures (Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall, Expectile), realized volatility estimators (sample variance, mean absolute deviation), and two models (iid and GARCH).
result Procyclicality is always present regardless of the choice of risk measure and realized volatility estimator.

Investors adjust spending based on a social norm, spending less during losses and more during gains.

problem Managing spending and portfolio decisions while adhering to a social norm.
method Formulated a preference ordering with two CRRA preference orderings, solved analytically and numerically.
result Annual spending should be lower than expected financial return and procyclical, with spending cuts following losses.

We prove that the profinite completion of the fundamental group of a compact 3-manifold MM satisfies a Tits alternative: if a closed subgroup HH does not contain a free pro-pp subgroup for any pp, then HH is virtually soluble, and furthermore of a very particular form. In particular, the profinite completion of th…

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.

Since the beginning of the new millennium, stock markets went through every state from long-time troughs, trade suspensions to all-time highs. The literature on asset pricing hence assumes random processes to be underlying the movement of stock returns. Observed procyclicality and time-varying correlation of stock retu…

Modeling financial systemic risk with optimal control theory for stability.

problem Analyzing and stabilizing systemic risk in interconnected financial entities.
method Developed a theoretical model using optimal control theory, including steps for synthesizing stabilizing controllers.
result The model ensures that the HH^{\infty} norms of the mappings from disturbance to output are less than a predefined constant, stabilizing the system.

We explore a model of the interaction between banks and outside investors in which the ability of banks to issue inside money (short-term liabilities believed to be convertible into currency at par) can generate a collapse in asset prices and widespread bank insolvency. The banks and investors share a common belief abo…

Study asset pricing with reference-dependent preferences, finding matching equity premia.

problem Understanding asset pricing under reference-dependent preferences.
method Discrete-time consumption-based capital asset pricing model with reference-dependent preferences.
result Models can generate equity premia matching empirical estimates, showing procyclical price-dividend ratio and countercyclical equity premium.

Study automorphisms of profinite mapping class groups for surfaces with negative Euler characteristic.

problem Determine automorphism groups of profinite completions of mapping class groups.
method Analyzes the structure of automorphism groups and embeddings of profinite Grothendieck-Teichmüller groups.
result Provides natural isomorphisms and embeddings for specific cases of surfaces.

Effective risk control must make a tradeoff between the microprudential risk of exogenous shocks to individual institutions and the macroprudential risks caused by their systemic interactions. We investigate a simple dynamical model for understanding this tradeoff, consisting of a bank with a leverage target and an unl…
