In this paper we study the stochastic area swept by a regular time-homogeneous diffusion till a stopping time. This unifies some recent literature in this area. Through stochastic time change we establish a link between the stochastic area and the stopping time of another associated...

This paper aims to analyze the dynamics of information asymmetry in market microstructure through the Easley et al. (2002)'s PIN framework in two segments. Firstly, we test to see if factors such as size, value and illiquidity can be used to explain PIN. Secondly, we extend beyond the...

This paper describes a methodology extension for decomposing non-linear portfolio risk by fund manager which we refer to as "Manager Component Value-at-Risk." The approach is well suited to funds holding any asset class or instrument type including derivatives. This decomposition approach is...

This paper proposes a comprehensive, path-independent decomposition formula of changes into ceteris paribus effects and interaction effects. The formula implies a reassessment of sequential decomposition methods that are widely used in the literature and that are restrictive in how they treat...

Many complex systems display fluctuations between alternative states in correspondence to tipping points. These critical shifts are usually associated with generic empirical phenomena such as strengthening correlations between entities composing the system. In finance, for instance, market...

This paper introduces a new Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) Python package called AdvEMDpy that is demonstrably more flexible and which generalises in numerous important ways the existing EMD packages available in Python, R, and MATLAB. The extensions introduced by this AdvEMDpy package both...

Infra-monthly economic time series have become increasingly popular in official statistics in recent years. This evolution has been largely fostered by official statistics’ digital transformation during the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 has added fuel to the fire as many...

This tutorial explores the class of non-parametric time series basis decomposition methods particularly suited for non-stationary time series known as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). A detailed review of the state of the art statistical approaches that combine finite basis signal...
