  • 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.

Math-Fi seminar on 5 Apr.

2018.04.02 Mon up

  • 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.
