Libra ensures fair order-matching in electronic financial exchanges.

problem Technical shortcomings and infrastructure complexities in electronic trading.
method Formally defined temporal fairness, evaluated existing fair market designs, introduced Libra.
result Libra is more robust and resilient to technical manipulation than existing designs.

In this paper, we propose a minimal model beyond geometric Brownian motion that aims to describe price actions with market inefficiency. From simple financial theory considerations, we arrive at a simple two-variable hidden Markovian time series model, with one of the variable entirely unobserved. Then, we analyze the …

Study finds cryptoasset markets inefficient due to capital reallocation frictions.

problem Inefficiency in cryptoasset markets due to capital reallocation frictions.
method Examined investments with dominant and secondary risk factors, derived equilibrium restrictions, and tested empirically.
result Empirical results strongly reject necessary equilibrium restrictions, indicating market inefficiency.

We study the effects of introducing information inefficiency in a model for a random linear economy with a representative consumer. This is done by considering statistical, instead of classical, economic general equilibria. Employing two different approaches we show that inefficiency increases the consumption set of a …

The paper explores fair treatment in financial exchanges, finding unbounded fairness unrealistic and proposing ε-fairness as a solution.

problem Ensuring fair treatment of all competing participants in financial exchanges.
method Investigation of unbounded temporal fairness, analysis of real-world incidents, introduction of ε-fairness.
result Unbounded temporal fairness is unrealistic in FIFO markets, and ε-fairness provides a viable alternative.

Social learning can make financial markets inefficient, but individual learning can fix this.

problem Inefficiencies in financial markets due to social learning.
method Study of the Minority Game model with social and individual learning mechanisms.
result Individual learning can rescue a population from the inefficiencies caused by social learning.

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on ReLU networks is inefficient due to large local error.

problem Inefficiency of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on ReLU neural networks.
method Analysis of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with leapfrog integrator for Bayesian neural network inference.
result Leapfrog HMC for ReLU networks has a large local error rate of Ω(ε)Ω(ε), leading to inefficiency.

Paper develops efficient DML estimators for multiway clustered data without cross-fitting.

problem Efficient inference in models with multiway clustered dependence.
method Neyman-orthogonal moment conditions combined with localisation-based empirical process approach.
result Valid inference achieved without cross-fitting, showing debiased GMM estimators are asymptotically linear and normal.

I summarize the recent work on market (in)efficiency, highlighting key elements why financial markets will never be made efficient. My approach is not by adding more empirical evidence, but giving plausible reasons as to where inefficiency arises and why it's not rational to arbitrage it away.

The paper limits the profitability of technical trading rules and finds they are not better than random trading.

problem The profitability of technical trading rules in stock markets is controversial.
method Proves the upper bound of cumulative return and investigates the profitability of technical trading rules using bootstrap methodology.
result Technical trading rules are not better than random trading and less profitable than the market.

In this paper we examine inefficiencies and information disparity in the Japanese stock market. By carefully analysing information publicly available on the internet, an `outsider' to conventional statistical arbitrage strategies--which are based on market microstructure, company releases, or analyst reports--can never…

Training the deep convolutional neural network for computer vision problems is slow and inefficient, especially when it is large and distributed across multiple devices. The inefficiency is caused by the backpropagation algorithm's forward locking, backward locking, and update locking problems. Existing solutions for a…

Detecting adversarial examples is as hard as classifying them.

problem The difficulty of detecting adversarial examples in machine learning models.
method Proved a general hardness reduction between detection and classification of adversarial examples.
result The hardness reduction implies that detecting adversarial examples is computationally infeasible.

Study measures irreversibility in crypto trends using Kullback-Leibler divergence.

problem Assessing irreversibility in cryptocurrency trends.
method Defined irreversibility index using Kullback-Leibler divergence between uptrend and downtrend distributions.
result Strong irreversibility in all analyzed cryptocurrencies, with trends evolving over time.

Study analyzes EU ETS carbon market dynamics, revealing inefficiencies and anomalies.

problem Inefficiencies and anomalies in EU ETS trading and pricing mechanisms.
method Empirical analysis using AR-GARCH model and weighted network analysis.
result Heterogeneous and sometimes counter-intuitive elasticities in price-volume relationships.

This paper examines Bitcoin's price predictability, finding inefficiencies under certain conditions.

problem Predictability of Bitcoin's price movements.
method Theoretical reviews, empirical analyses, machine learning approaches, time series modeling.
result Bitcoin's market tends toward efficiency but shows exploitable inefficiencies under specific conditions.

Abstract: A new approach to technical indicators without lag.

problem Defining classical technical indicators as bounded operators for lag-free trading.
method Using linear algebra to redefine technical indicators as bounded operators in l(N)l^\infty(\mathbb{N}) space.
result Demonstrated the no-lag versions of technical indicators are simpler and more effective.

We introduce a stochastic price model where, together with a random component, a moving average of logarithmic prices contributes to the price formation. Our model is tested against financial datasets, showing an extremely good agreement with them. It suggests how to construct trading strategies which imply a capital g…

Weak form of the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (EMH) excludes predictions of future market movements from historical data and makes the technical analysis (TA) out of law. However the technical analysis is widely used by traders and speculators who steadely refuse to consider the market as a "fair game" and survive with…

Myopic investors make suboptimal choices that benefit others, leading to market inefficiencies.

problem Myopic investors make suboptimal decisions that lag the market.
method Constrained optimisation and overlapping examples of different investor types.
result Myopic investors' suboptimal choices lead to market inefficiencies and profit opportunities for others.

Predicting stock jumps using liquidity and technical indicators.

problem Predicting intraday stock jumps in finance.
method Divide trading day into 5-minute intervals, use liquidity measures and technical indicators, apply machine learning algorithms.
result Initial evidence of predictability of jump arrivals and directions using level-2 stock data.

This study improves stock price prediction for Apple Inc. using feature selection and regression models with technical indicators.

problem Improving stock price prediction accuracy for Apple Inc. using technical indicators.
method Evaluation of 123 technical indicators and 10 regression models on 13 years of Apple Inc. data.
result Combining feature selection with regression models significantly improves prediction accuracy.

Study finds traditional technical indicators underperform in high-frequency trading, suggesting risk management over prediction.

problem Inadequately explored effectiveness of technical indicators in high-frequency trading, particularly at minute-level frequency.
method Evaluation of random forest models with traditional technical indicators on minute-level SPY data.
result In-sample performance is superior to out-of-sample, with risk-adjusted metrics not outperforming a simple buy-and-hold strategy.

The optimal (`equilibrium') macroscopic properties of an economy with NN industries endowed with different technologies, PP commodities and one consumer are derived in the limit NN\to\infty with n=N/Pn=N/P fixed using the replica method. When technologies are strictly inefficient, a phase transition occurs upon increas…
