CCC clusters with controlled spread, outperforming standard methods.
The global crisis of 2008 provoked a heightened interest among scientists to study the phenomenon, its propagation and negative consequences. The process of modelling the spread of a virus is commonly used in epidemiology. Conceptually, the spread of a disease among a population is similar to the contagion process in e…
Paper uses reinforcement learning to optimize bid-ask spreads in OTC markets.
The paper uses stochastic control to analyze interest rate markets with roll-over risk.
Machine learning fails to improve recession prediction with yield spread.
A Monte Carlo method for pairs trading on mean-reverting spreads with Lévy processes.
We show that stochastic recovery always leads to counter-intuitive behaviors in the risk measures of a CDO tranche - namely, continuity on default and positive credit spread risk cannot be ensured simultaneously. We then propose a simple recovery variance regularization method to control the magnitude of negative credi…
The process of contagiousness spread modelling is well-known in epidemiology. However, the application of spread modelling to banking market is quite recent. In this work, we present a system of ordinary differential equations, simulating data from the largest European banks. Then, an optimal control problem is formula…
This paper uses RL to optimize bid-ask spreads for illiquid corporate bonds.
Spreading processes are often modelled as a stochastic dynamics occurring on top of a given network with edge weights corresponding to the transmission probabilities. Knowledge of veracious transmission probabilities is essential for prediction, optimization, and control of diffusion dynamics. Unfortunately, in most ca…
Pairs trading is a market-neutral strategy that exploits historical correlation between stocks to achieve statistical arbitrage. Existing pairs-trading algorithms in the literature require rather restrictive assumptions on the underlying stochastic stock-price processes and the so-called spread function. In contrast to…
In this paper we complete and extend our previous work on stochastic control applied to high frequency market-making with inventory constraints and directional bets. Our new model admits several state variables (e.g. market spread, stochastic volatility and intensities of market orders) provided the full system is Mark…
Optimizes lockdown strategies to balance economic activities and virus spread.
Optimizes control of infectious disease spread using stochastic methods.
Infectious diseases are studied to understand their spreading mechanisms, to evaluate control strategies and to predict the risk and course of future outbreaks. Because people only interact with a small number of individuals, and because the structure of these interactions matters for spreading processes, the pairwise …
Market maker optimizes SPX and VIX spread using quadratic rough Heston model.
We consider rate swaps which pay a fixed rate against a floating rate in presence of bid-ask spread costs. Even for simple models of bid-ask spread costs, there is no explicit strategy optimizing an expected function of the hedging error. We here propose an efficient algorithm based on the stochastic gradient method to…
Unified market making controls risk, arbitrage, and volatility surfaces.
A new framework maximizes influence spread in social networks by accounting for inter-community diffusion.
Efficient algorithm learns Independent Cascade model from partial network observations.
Cryptocurrency markets show higher spreads during extreme fear and greed phases.
Predicting registration error can be useful for evaluation of registration procedures, which is important for the adoption of registration techniques in the clinic. In addition, quantitative error prediction can be helpful in improving the registration quality. The task of predicting registration error is demanding due…
Model shows screening for infectious disease is hard but Thompson sampling works well.
We propose a framework for studying optimal market making policies in a limit order book (LOB). The bid-ask spread of the LOB is modelled by a Markov chain with finite values, multiple of the tick size, and subordinated by the Poisson process of the tick-time clock. We consider a small agent who continuously submits li…
New method improves transfer and robustness of supervised contrastive learning.
The abstract discusses open data resources for studying and controlling the spread of COVID-19.
Study uses PPLs to model and forecast COVID-19 spread and policy interventions.
Online social networking sites are experimenting with the following crowd-powered procedure to reduce the spread of fake news and misinformation: whenever a user is exposed to a story through her feed, she can flag the story as misinformation and, if the story receives enough flags, it is sent to a trusted third party …
Modeling precious metals market making using nested Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.
Companies do not operate in a vacuum. As companies move towards an increasingly specialized production function and their reach is becoming truly global, their aptitude in managing and shaping their inter-organizational network is a determining factor in measuring their health. Current models of company financial healt…
Model analyzes OTC market making with reputation feedback.
Model analyzes how reputation feedback affects OTC market making.
A new bandit strategy improves learning speed at the cost of accuracy.
Starting from the Avellaneda-Stoikov framework, we consider a market maker who wants to optimally set bid/ask quotes over a finite time horizon, to maximize her expected utility. The intensities of the orders she receives depend not only on the spreads she quotes, but also on unobservable factors modelled by a hidden M…
Market makers optimize bid/ask quotes under hidden Markov chain uncertainty.
Study fairness in vaccine allocation in social networks.
A new model predicts bid-ask spread dynamics in financial markets.
Bid-ask spread is taken as an important measure of the financial market liquidity. In this article, we study the dynamics of the spread return and the spread volatility of four liquid stocks in the Chinese stock market, including the memory effect and the multifractal nature. By investigating the autocorrelation functi…
In financial markets, liquidity is not constant over time but exhibits strong seasonal patterns. In this article we consider a limit order book model that allows for time-dependent, deterministic depth and resilience of the book and determine optimal portfolio liquidation strategies. In a first model variant, we propos…
The paper uses moment matching method for pricing spread options under Lévy models.
We explain a persistent cost-of-carry spread in EUA market and suggest ECB policy change.
We establish that, over certain ground fields, the set of osculating tangents of Cayley's ruled cubic surface gives rise to a (maximal partial) spread which is also a dual (maximal partial) spread. It is precisely the Betten-Walker spreads that allow for this construction. Every infinite Betten-Walker spread is not an …
We study the relationship between price spread, volatility and trading volume. We find that spread forms as a result of interplay between order liquidity and order impact. When trading volume is small adding more liquidity helps improve price accuracy and reduce spread, but after some point additional liquidity begins …
Continuous control imitation learning fails if expert actions are smooth.

We introduce nonlinear higher-order label spreading for semi-supervised learning.
New approximations for Asian basket spread options using stochastic Taylor expansions.
The statistical properties of the bid-ask spread of a frequently traded Chinese stock listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange are investigated using the limit-order book data. Three different definitions of spread are considered based on the time right before transactions, the time whenever the highest buying price or th…
