Math-Fi seminar on 5 Apr.

2018.04.02 Mon up
  • Date: 5 Apr. (Thu.)
  • Place: W.W. 6th-floor, Colloquium Room
  • Time: 16:30-18:00
  • Speaker: Xunyu Zhou (Columbia University)
  • Title: Time Inconsistency, Self Control and Portfolio Choice 
  • ​Abstract: 
Time inconsistency arises when one’s preferences are not aligned over time; thus time-inconsistent dynamic control is essentiallya self control problem.
In this talk I will introduce several classes of time-inconsistent dynamic optimisation problems together with their economic motivations, and highlight the ways to address the time inconsistency.
I will then provide a solution to a continuous-time portfolio choice model under the rank-dependent utility which is inherently time inconsistent.

  • Title: Local asymptotic properties for CIR process and a jump-type CIR process
  • Abstract: 
​In the first part of this talk, we consider a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process whose drift coefficient depends on unknown parameters. Considering the process discretely observed at high frequency, we prove the local asymptotic normality (LAN) property in the subcritical case, the local asymptotic quadraticity (LAQ) in the critical case, and the local asymptotic mixed normality (LAMN) property in the supercritical case. To obtain these results, we use the Malliavin calculus techniques developed recently for CIR process by Alòs et al. and Altmayer et al.  together with the $L^p$-norm estimation for positive and negative moments of the CIR process obtained by Bossy et al. and Ben Alaya et al.
In the second part, we will discuss the local asymptotic properties for a jump-type CIR process driven by a Brownian motion and a subordinator, whose growth rate is a unknown parameter. LAN is proved in the subcritical case, LAQ is derived in the critical case, and LAMN is shown in the supercritical case. This is a joint work with Mohamed Ben Alaya, Ahmed Kebaier and Gyula Pap.

Math-Fi seminar on 22 Dec.

2017.12.21 Thu up
  • Date: 22 Dec. (Fri.)
  • Place: W.W. 6th-floor, Colloquium Room
  • Time: 16:30-18:00
  • Speaker: Tai-Ho Wang
  • Title: Works in progress related to quantitative finance
  • Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the projects that I am currently working on and their possible extensions. The first concerns the pricing of an exotic option called target volatility option in the fractional SABR model. Secondly, we concern ourselves in an equilibrium model on asymmetric information and insider trading in continuous time taking into account adverse selection and inventory cost. Lastly, we propose an approximate maximum likelihood estimator for the drift term of a  fractional Brownian motion with drift.
