L’attività seminariale del gruppo Ingegneria finanziaria si articola su diverse forme di incontro che possono avere obiettivi diversi:

• sviluppare la diffusione della ricerca su tematiche di finanza quantitativa
• diffondere studi/risultati di tipo quantitativo all’interno della comunità finanziaria
• fornire agli studenti occasioni di incontro anche di natura non tecnica su tematiche attinenti il mondo della finanza.

Le attività comprendono seminari scientifici, workshop e incontri su temi specifici, corsi di formazione.

Workshops

• May 14 2019 Seminar: Giovanna Apicella May, 14th Si avvisa che in data 14/05/2019, alle ore 12:30 , presso Aula seminari del terzo piano, nell'ambito delle iniziative della sezione di Finanza Quantitativa, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Actuarial and behavioural approaches to longevity modelling Relatore: Giovanna Apicella University of St. Gallen, Switzerland Abstract: In the seminar, we combine ideas and methods from behavioral economics and actuarial science, with respect to the study of the longevity phenomenon. In the first part, we discuss actuarial approches to longevity modelling. In particular, we introduce a new dynamic corrective methodology of the predictive accuracy of extrapolative stochastic mortality models (Apicella , Dacorogna, Di Lorenzo and Sibillo 2019); such a method exploits the features of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross stochastic process to provide a mortality model benchmark on the fitting time horizon, along with a sound and parsimonious corrective factor on the forecasting time horizon. By exploiting the Cairns-Blake-Dowd model  (also known as Model M5) as the baseline model, it is shown how much, in  both a static and dynamic setting, the ex-post forecasting performance of the baseline is increased, as a result of the applied correction (mCBD model). In the second part, we address the topic of longevity modelling under a behavioural perspective, that is subject of a lively and topical discussion in the literature: we make a brief overview of subjective beliefs about individual longevity and the behavioural biases potentially affecting them. Survival beliefs contain unique information about mortality and affect economic decisions, such as the willingness to buy life insurance products, i.e. annuities. Relevant literature is discussed. Along with contextualizing our research, also a few preliminary research outcomes in this framework are shown.  This is a joint work Prof. Enrico de Giorgi.

• Apr 16 2019 Seminar: Prof. Enrico Scalas April 16th, 2019 Si avvisa che in data 16/4/2019, alle ore 14:30 , presso Aula seminari del sesto piano, nell'ambito delle iniziative della sezione di Finanza Quantitativa, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Limit Theorems for the Fractional Non-homogeneous Poisson Process Relatore: Enrico Scalas, University of Sussex Abstract: The fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process was introduced by a time-change of the non-homogeneous Poisson process with the inverse α-stable subordinator. We propose a similar definition for the (non-homogeneous) fractional compound Poisson process. We give both finite-dimensional and functional limit theorems for the fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process and the fractional compound Poisson process. The results are derived by using martingale methods, regular variation properties and Anscombe\'s theorem. Eventually, some of the limit results are verified in a Monte Carlo simulation. This is a joint work with Nikolai Leonenko and Mailan Trinh.

• Apr 02 2019 Seminar: Carlo Sala April 2, 2019 Si avvisa che in data 02/04/2019, alle ore 12:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari al Terzo Piano Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Information content of implicit quantile and implicit expectile curves Relatore: Carlo Sala, ESADE Business School. Abstract: We compare option implied quantiles and option implied expectiles on a 5-year dataset of prices of weekly S&P500 options. We compute these quantities by means of a fully non-parametric methodology, following Barone-Adesi (2016) and Bellini et al. (2018). We study the relative position of inverse quantile and expectile curves, and compute implicit Interquantile and Interexpectile Differences, that are compared with a weekly VIX-like index. Finally, we investigate the forecasting power of these quantities either on future logreturns or on future realized variances.

• Mar 19 2019 Seminar: Alessandro Calvia – 19 March 2019 Si avvisa che in data 19/3/2019, alle ore 12:30 precise, presso Aula Seminari al Sesto Piano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Risk measures and progressive enlargement of filtrations: a BSDE approach Relatore: Alessandro Calvia, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Abstract: Risk measures are nowadays well-established tools in mathematical finance to evaluate the riskiness of a future financial position, both in a static and in a dynamic (i.e., time dependent) setting. Also, Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (or BSDEs, for short) are widely adopted tools in mathematical finance. From the beginning of the 21st century, connections between dynamic risk measures and BSDEs have been studied in the literature. Thanks to the theory of g-expectations, introduced by S. Peng, one can induce a dynamic risk measure from a BSDE. This can be done mapping the terminal condition of the BSDE (modeling a future financial position) into the first component of the corresponding solution. Clearly, this kind of risk measures depend on the noise and on the map g (called driver) appearing in the BSDE. The case of noise given by either a Brownian motion or a Brownian motion and an independent Poisson random measure is studied in the literature. Properties of the driver g, such as monotonicity, convexity, homogeneity, etc., are reflected in the properties of the dynamic risk measure and vice versa. The aim of this talk is to show that it is possible to induce a dynamic risk measure from a BSDE whose driving noise is given by a Brownian motion and a marked point process. In terms of the underlying information flow, this corresponds to the progressive enlargement of a Brownian reference filtration with the information brought by the occurrence of random events at some random times. We will prove that the original risk measure can be split into different risk measures, evaluating future financial position between each of these random events, that are induced, in turn, by a family of indexed Brownian BSDEs. We also show connections between properties of the driver of the BSDE and the induced risk measure and its time-consistency. This is joint work with Emanuela Rosazza Gianin.
