Donsker theorems for diffusions: Necessary and sufficient conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We consider the empirical process G_t of a one-dimensional diffusion with finite speed measure, indexed by a collection of functions F. By the central limit theorem for diffusions, the finite-dimensional distributions of G_t converge weakly to those of a

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Spatially independent martingales, intersections, and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We define a class of random measures, spatially independent martingales, which we view as a natural generalisation of the canonical random discrete set, and which includes as special cases many variants of fractal percolation and Poissonian cut-outs.

Trees under attack: a Ray-Knight representation of Feller's branching diffusion with logistic growth

open access: yes, 2012
We obtain a representation of Feller's branching diffusion with logistic growth in terms of the local times of a reflected Brownian motion $H$ with a drift that is affine linear in the local time accumulated by $H$ at its current level.

On Metric Choice in Dimension Reduction for Fréchet Regression

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Fréchet regression is becoming a mainstay in modern data analysis for analysing non‐traditional data types belonging to general metric spaces. This novel regression method is especially useful in the analysis of complex health data such as continuous monitoring and imaging data.

Optimal Novikov-type criteria for local martingales with jumps

open access: yes, 2012
We consider local martingales $M$ with jumps larger than $a$ for some $a$ larger than or equal to -1, and prove Novikov-type criteria for the corresponding exponential local martingale to be a uniformly integrable martingale.

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.

Local times of continuous N-parameter strong martingales

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 1986
This paper studies the properties of local times of continuous N- parameter strong martingales. Suppose that \(M=\{M(z)\), \(z\in [0,1]^ N\}\) is a 4N-integrable, real-valued continuous N-parameter strong martingale with respect to a family of \(\sigma\)-fields \(\{\) \({\mathcal F}_ z\), \(z\in [0,1]^ N\}\) verifying the usual conditional independence

Model Ambiguity versus Model Misspecification in Dynamic Portfolio Choice

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study aversion to model ambiguity and misspecification in dynamic portfolio choice. Risk‐averse investors (relative risk aversion γ>1$\gamma > 1$) fear return persistence, while risk‐tolerant investors (0<γ<1$0<\gamma <1$) fear mean reversion, when confronting model misspecification concerns of identically and independently distributed (IID)

Learning in the Limit: Income Inference from Credit Extensions

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining a randomized controlled trial with administrative and survey data, this paper shows that credit limit extensions significantly increase total spending and income expectations. By controlling for changes in personal income expectations, the spending response to credit limit extensions weakens by approximately 30%.
