  • Title: Non-Asymptotic Properties of Regularized Multivariate ARCH models
  • Abstract:
We provide finite sample properties of regularized multivariate ARCH processes, where the linear representation of ARCH models allows for an ordinary least square estimation. Under the restricted strong convexity of the unpenalized loss function, regularity conditions on the regularizer, strict stationary and beta-mixing process, we prove non-asymptotic error bounds on the regularized ARCH estimators. Moreover, based on the primal-dual witness method, we establish variable selection consistency, including the case when the regularizer is non-convex. These theoretical results are supported by simulation studies.

  • Title: Statistical inference for price staleness
  • Abstract:
Asset prices recorded at a high frequency are more sluggish than implied by the semi-martingale hypothesis. 
We propose a new general framework formalizing this phenomenon. We provide a limit theory for Idle-time (an economic indicator for price flatness) and related quantities. This allows to quantify the level of staleness in an asset price adjustment and to test two different hypothesis. First, whether the extent of sluggishness is constant or time-varying. Second, whether the sluggishness is persistent. The empirical application on US stocks provides the evidence that stock price flatness is both time-varying and persistent, especially during the crisis.

  • 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.
