We study consequences of regulatory interventions in limit order markets that aim at stabilizing the market after an occurrence of a "flash crash." We use a simulation platform that creates random arrivals of trade orders, that allows us to analyze subtle features of liquidity and price...

This contribution addresses the impact of high-frequency electronic liquidity provision strategies on financial markets' intraday dynamics, by evaluating the interaction between multiple trading strategies within a computer laboratory, i.e. an artificial stock market. Initially, a realistic...

This paper studies a novel approach for managing macroeconomic volatility in developing countries based upon dynamic portfolio optimisation. As part of this study, we develop a sovereign risk management model in the context of an Asset-Liability Management (ALM) framework. First, we solve the...

Economic instability in emerging countries has often been attributed to countercyclical fiscal policy. The problem is further exacerbated by income volatility caused by international commodity price fluctuations, while directional hedging, as a favourite policy response, has been both costly and...

The Australian Superannuation Guarantee Levy system (SGL) and the Age Pension are linked through the income and asset test of the Age Pension system. Variations in likely demands for full or partial Age Pensions will occur as variations occur in the amount of retirement benefits that members of...

This paper studies a novel approach for managing macroeconomic volatility in commodity exporting countries. As part of this study, we develop a sovereign risk management model in the context of an Asset-Liability Management (ALM) framework. Our first contribution is an extension of the...

This paper seeks to establish both direct connections and similarities between the Bayesian network approach and stochastic factor modelling in quantitative risk management. The discussion covers comparison between Bayesian networks as used for financial stress testing and portfolio management...

To maximise economic recovery from the UK Continental Shelf it is generally agreed that assets should be in the hands of those investors who are best willing and able to achieve this. Transactions in mature fields in the UKCS should therefore not be discouraged by the tax system. This study...

Using financial simulation modelling, including the Monte Carlo technique, this study makes projections of long term activity in the UK Continental Shelf under "lower for longer" oil and gas price scenarios. These were (1) $50 per barrel, and 40 pence per therm, and (2) $60 and 50 pence, all in...
