Essays on extreme value theory in economics and finance
Creators: name: Trapin, Luca
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca

Subjects: HB Economic Theory

description: Extreme value methods have been successfully applied in various disciplines with the purpose of estimating tail quantiles. The probabilistic results underlying the inference procedures for the extreme values rely on the assumption of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables. However, empirical observations often present time variation and violate the iid assumption, thus the development of methods for modelling the extremes of dependent data is currently the subject of ongoing research. This thesis provides original contributions in this direction. Exploiting data on financial asset returns, we address questions regarding the tails of the conditional return distribution and propose models for them. We begin questioning whether extreme returns exhibit seasonal behaviour and develop an approach to uncover this fact. Next, we propose to employ a method based on highfrequency data to pre-whiten the returns, and then apply an extreme value model to the tails of the estimated residuals. We then study the extremal dependence inherent in financial returns, and evaluate the ability of various high-frequency based volatility processes in generating such dependence. Finally, we propose a new class of dynamic extreme value models that exploit high-frequency data to model the tails of the conditional return distribution.

description: Photons radiated from an evaporating black hole in principle provide complete information on the particle spectrum of nature up to the Planck scale. If an evaporating black hole were to be observed, it would open a unique window onto models beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. To demonstrate this, we compute the limits that could be placed on the size of a dark sector. We find that observation of an evaporating black hole at a distance of 0.01 parsecs could probe dark sector models containing one or more copies of the Standard Model particles, with any mass scale up to 100 TeV.

description: Engineered dynamical maps combining coherent and dissipative transformations of quantum states with quantum measurements, have demonstrated a number of technological applications, and promise to be a crucial tool in quantum thermodynamic processes. Here, we exploit the control on the effective open spin qutrit dynamics of an NV center, to experimentally realize an autonomous feedback process (Maxwell demon) with tunable dissipative strength. The feedback is enabled by random measurement events that condition the subsequent dissipative evolution of the qutrit. The efficacy of the autonomous Maxwell demon is quantified by experimentally characterizing the fluctuations of the energy exchanged by the system with the environment by means of a generalized Sagawa-Ueda-Tasaki relation for dissipative dynamics. This opens the way to the implementation of a new class of Maxwell demons, which could be useful for quantum sensing and quantum thermodynamic devices.

Symmetries and spectral statistics in chaotic conformal field theories

description: We discuss spectral correlations in coarse-grained chaotic two-dimensional CFTs with large central charge. We study a partition function describing the dense part of the spectrum of primary states in a way that disentangles the chaotic properties of the spectrum from those which are a consequence of Virasoro symmetry and modular invariance. We argue that random matrix universality in the near-extremal limit is an independent feature of each spin sector separately; this is a non-trivial statement because the exact spectrum is fully determined by only the spectrum of spin zero primaries and those of a single non-zero spin (“spectral determinacy”). We then describe an argument analogous to the one leading to Cardy’s formula for the averaged density of states, but in our case applying it to spectral correlations: assuming statistical universalities in the near-extremal spectrum in all spin sectors, we find similar random matrix universality in a large spin regime far from extremality.

description: Background: In her research project at Princeton University titled ‘Radical Pedagogies in Architectural Education’ Beatriz Colomina asserts that the discipline can best be changed by revolutionizing the way it is taught (see AR 28.09.2012). There are objectively few texts that contribute to knowledge on contemporary architectural design education and the design studio. Some recent exceptions include ‘Radical Pedagogies’ (2015) Harriet Harris ed. and Studio Futures: Changing Trajectories in Architectural Education ed by Bates, Mitsogianni, Ramirez (2015).

Contribution: The essay contributes new knowledge in the area of architectural design pedagogy by expanding on the role of design-practice research partnered with industry across a number of iterations and demonstrating how these can be structured to contribute new knowledge for Melbourne’s outer suburban areas – specifically new propositions for a contemporary civic.

Significance: This creative textual work is an invited catalogue essay for the Suburban Realism: Scale Ability Exhibition - curated by Dean Boothroyd, Leona Dusanovic and Esteban Montesinos - which was part of the NGV Melbourne Design Week 2021 curated by Timothy Moore (whose theme was ‘Design the world you want’). It was exhibited in the RMIT Design Hub and is available online as a PDF via QR code link from the exhibition. The NGV is a highly esteemed gallery and Dean Boothroyd (now at Estate Planning and Development at the University of Melbourne) and Timothy Moore (Monash University) significant local curators. The Suburban Realism Exhibition was accompanied by a symposium with numerous esteemed participants (refer to website). The areas of architectural design pedagogy and generating design research from the design studio are under represented in contemporary architectural research. This text provides case study evidence which contributes new and original knowledge to this field – made public via an esteemed exhibition and online.

description: Despite the immense societal importance of ethically designing artificial intelligence (AI), little research on the public perceptions of ethical AI principles exists. This becomes even more striking when considering that ethical AI development has the aim to be human-centric and of benefit for the whole society. In this study, we investigate how ethical principles (explainability, fairness, security, accountability, accuracy, privacy, machine autonomy) are weighted in comparison to each other. This is especially important, since simultaneously considering ethical principles is not only costly, but sometimes even impossible, as developers must make specific trade-off decisions. In this paper, we give first answers on the relative importance of ethical principles given a specific use case - the use of AI in tax fraud detection. The results of a large conjoint survey (n=1099) suggest that, by and large, German respondents found the ethical principles equally important. However, subsequent cluster analysis shows that different preference models for ethically designed systems exist among the German population. These clusters substantially differ not only in the preferred attributes, but also in the importance level of the attributes themselves. We further describe how these groups are constituted in terms of sociodemographics as well as opinions on AI. Societal implications as well as design challenges are discussed.

description: Background: India has reported seasonal outbreaks of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) among children leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. From 2008-2014, 44,097 cases and 5,728 deaths were reported due to AES in India. Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus is one of the key aetiological agent for AES outbreaks in India. Malkangiri district of Odisha reported 9 deaths in 2009 and 38 deaths in 2012 among children due to AES. The current AES outbreak in November 2014 is unusual in terms of seasonality, geographical distribution and clinical manifestations in comparison to the epidemiological features of JE. We investigated to study the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of the outbreak.

Conclusion: This is an outbreak of unexplained neurological illness as we could not establish the etiology. Further entomological survey and assessment of other risk factors including test for additional pathogen should be carried out to confirm the diagnosis. Training of healthcare staff, early case detection with active surveillance, and symptomatic management will effectively control the disease outbreak.

description: We assess the status of a wide class of WIMP dark matter (DM) models in light of the latest experimental results using the global fitting framework $\textsf{GAMBIT}$. We perform a global analysis of effective field theory (EFT) operators describing the interactions between a gauge-singlet Dirac fermion and the Standard Model quarks, the gluons and the photon. In this bottom-up approach, we simultaneously vary the coefficients of 14 such operators up to dimension 7, along with the DM mass, the scale of new physics and several nuisance parameters. Our likelihood functions include the latest data from $\mathit{Planck}$, direct and indirect detection experiments, and the LHC. For DM masses below 100 GeV, we find that it is impossible to satisfy all constraints simultaneously while maintaining EFT validity at LHC energies. For new physics scales around 1 TeV, our results are influenced by several small excesses in the LHC data and depend on the prescription that we adopt to ensure EFT validity. Furthermore, we find large regions of viable parameter space where the EFT is valid and the relic density can be reproduced, implying that WIMPs can still account for the DM of the universe while being consistent with the latest data.

description: Diet plays a critical role for patients across the cancer continuum. The World Cancer Research Fund International and the American Cancer Society have published evidence supporting the role of nutrition in cancer prevention. We conducted an analysis of the literature on dietary nutrients and cancer to uncover opportunities for future research. The objective of the bibliometric analysis was to describe trends in peer-reviewed publications on dietary components and cancer and to highlight research gaps. PubMed was queried for manuscripts with diet- and cancer-related keywords and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. Metadata covering 99,784 publications from 6469 journals were analyzed to identify trends since 1970 on diet topics across 19 tumor types. Publications focused largely on breast, colorectal, and liver cancer, with fewer papers linking diet with other cancers such as brain, gallbladder, or ovarian. With respect to “unhealthy” diets, many publications focused on high-fat diets and alcohol consumption. The largest numbers of publications related to “healthy” diets examined the Mediterranean diet and the consumption of fruits and vegetables. These findings highlight the need for additional research focused on under-investigated cancers and dietary components, as well as dietary studies during cancer therapy and post-therapy, which may help to prolong survivorship.

description: We study tetrahedron maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, and Yang-Baxter maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. In particular, we clarify the structure of the nonlinear algebraic relations which define linear (parametric) tetrahedron maps (with nonlinear dependence on parameters), and we present several transformations which allow one to obtain new such maps from known ones. Furthermore, we prove that the differential of a (nonlinear) tetrahedron map on a manifold is a tetrahedron map as well. Similar results on the differentials of Yang-Baxter and entwining Yang-Baxter maps are also presented. Using the obtained general results, we construct new examples of (parametric) Yang-Baxter and tetrahedron maps. The considered examples include maps associated with integrable systems and matrix groups. In particular, we obtain a parametric family of new linear tetrahedron maps, which are linear approximations for the nonlinear tetrahedron map constructed by Dimakis and Müller-Hoissen [arXiv:1708.05694] in a study of soliton solutions of vector Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations. Also, we present invariants for this nonlinear tetrahedron map.

description: We present the first analytic ${\cal O}(α_s)$-computation at twist-$1$,$2$ of the $\bar B_{u,d,s} \to γ$ form factors within the framework of sum rules on the light-cone. These form factors describe the charged decay $\bar B_u \to γ\ell^- \barν$, contribute to the flavour changing neutral currents $\bar B_{d,s} \to γ\ell^+ \ell^-$ and serve as inputs to more complicated processes. We provide a fit in terms of a $z$-expansion with correlation matrix and extrapolate the form factors to the kinematic endpoint by using the $g_{BB^*γ}$ couplings as a constraint. Analytic results are available in terms of multiple polylogarithms as ancillary files. We give binned predictions for the $\bar B_u \to γ\ell^- \barν$ branching ratio along with the associated correlation matrix. By comparing with three SCET-computations we extract the inverse moment $B$-meson distribution amplitude parameter $λ_B = 360 (110) \text{MeV}$. The uncertainty thereof could be improved by a more dedicated analysis. In passing, we extend the photon distribution amplitude to include quark mass corrections with a prescription for the magnetic vacuum susceptibility, $χ_q$, compatible with the twist-expansion. The values $χ_q = 3.21 (15) \text{GeV}^{-2}$ and $χ_s = 3.79 (17) \text{GeV}^{-2}$ are obtained.

GUM accepts models written symbolically in FeynRules and SARAH formats, and can use either tool along with MadGraph and CalcHEP to generate GAMBIT model, collider, dark matter, decay and spectrum code, as well as GAMBIT interfaces to corresponding versions of SPheno, micrOMEGAs, Pythia and Vevacious (C++). In this paper we describe the features, methods, usage, pathways, assumptions and current limitations of GUM. We also give a fully worked example, consisting of the addition of a Majorana fermion simplified dark matter model with a scalar mediator to GAMBIT via GUM, and carry out a corresponding fit.

description: Latest ARM processors are approaching the computational power of x86 architectures while consuming much less energy. Consequently, supply follows demand with Amazon EC2, Equinix Metal and Microsoft Azure offering ARM-based instances, while Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about to add such support. We expect this trend to continue, with an increasing number of cloud providers offering ARM-based cloud instances. ARM processors are more energy-efficient leading to substantial electricity savings for cloud providers. However, a malicious cloud provider could intentionally reduce the CPU voltage to further lower its costs. Running applications malfunction when the undervolting goes below critical thresholds. By avoiding critical voltage regions, a cloud provider can run undervolted instances in a stealthy manner. This practical experience report describes a novel attack scenario: an attack launched by the cloud provider against its users to aggressively reduce the processor voltage for saving energy to the last penny. We call it the Scrooge Attack and show how it could be executed using ARM-based computing instances. We mimic ARM-based cloud instances by deploying our own ARM-based devices using different generations of Raspberry Pi. Using realistic and synthetic workloads, we demonstrate to which degree of aggressiveness the attack is relevant. The attack is unnoticeable by our detection method up to an offset of -50mV. We show that the attack may even remain completely stealthy for certain workloads. Finally, we propose a set of client-based detection methods that can identify undervolted instances. We support experimental reproducibility and provide instructions to reproduce our results.

description: Adsorbing toxins from the blood to augment membrane-based hemodialysis is an active area of research. Films composed of β-cyclodextrin-co-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine (p(PMβCD-co-MPC)) with various monomer ratios were formed on magnetic nanoparticles and characterized. Surface chemistry effects on protein denaturation were evaluated and indicated that unmodified magnetic nanoparticles greatly perturbed the structure of proteins compared to coated particles. Plasma clotting assays were conducted to investigate the stability of plasma in the presence of particles, where a 2:2 monomer ratio yielded the best results for a given total surface area of particles. Total protein adsorption results revealed that modified surfaces exhibited reduced protein adsorption compared to bare particles, and pure MPC showed the lowest adsorption. Immunoblot results showed that fibrinogen, α1-antitrypsin, vitronectin, prekallikrein, antithrombin, albumin, and C3 correlated with film composition. Hemocompatibility testing with whole blood illustrated that the 1:3 ratio of CD to MPC had a negative impact on platelets, as evidenced by the increased activation, reduced response to an agonist, and reduced platelet count. Other formulations had statistically significant effects on platelet activation, but no formulation yielded apparent adverse effects on hemostasis. For the first time, p(PMβCD-co-MPC)-coated MNP were synthesized and their general hemocompatibility assessed.

description: The financial sector is seen as performing critical functions in facilitating economic growth and, both directly through broadening access to finance and indirectly through growth, contributing to reductions in inequality and poverty by mobilizing savings, facilitating payments and trade of goods and services, and promoting efficient allocation of resources. This dissertation analyses the role of finance in economic development, income inequality and poverty reduction by differentiating between banks and stock markets. It also studies the impacts of the two components of the financial sector, from both theoretical and empirical points of view. The second chapter examines the impact of financial development on economic growth across income levels by providing empirical analyses for a large panel of countries. The third chapter studies the role of finance in income inequality by building an occupational choice model under financial market imperfections and providing empirical analyses for the relationship between financial development and income inequality. The fourth chapter analyses the link between banks, stock markets and poverty reduction by providing empirical analyses for a panel of emerging countries.

description: A deeper theoretical understanding of driven-dissipative interacting systems and their nonequilibrium phase transitions is essential both to advance our fundamental physics understanding and to harness technological opportunities arising from optically controlled quantum many-body states. This paper provides a numerical study of dynamical phases and the transitions between them in the nonequilibrium steady state of the prototypical two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with drive and dissipation. We demonstrate a nonthermal transition that is characterized by a qualitative change in the magnon distribution, from subthermal at low drive to a generalized Bose-Einstein form including a nonvanishing condensate fraction at high drive. A finite-size analysis reveals static and dynamical critical scaling at the transition, with a discontinuous slope of the magnon number versus driving field strength and critical slowing down at the transition point. Implications for experiments on quantum materials and polariton condensates are discussed.

description: We numerically study both the avalanche instability and many-body resonances in strongly-disordered spin chains exhibiting many-body localization (MBL). We distinguish between a finite-size/time MBL regime, and the asymptotic MBL phase, and identify some "landmarks" within the MBL regime. Our first landmark is an estimate of where the MBL phase becomes unstable to avalanches, obtained by measuring the slowest relaxation rate of a finite chain coupled to an infinite bath at one end. Our estimates indicate that the actual MBL-to-thermal phase transition, in infinite-length systems, occurs much deeper in the MBL regime than has been suggested by most previous studies. Our other landmarks involve system-wide resonances. We find that the effective matrix elements producing eigenstates with system-wide resonances are enormously broadly distributed. This means that the onset of such resonances in typical samples occurs quite deep in the MBL regime, and the first such resonances typically involve rare pairs of eigenstates that are farther apart in energy than the minimum gap. Thus we find that the resonance properties define two landmarks that divide the MBL regime in to three subregimes: (i) at strongest disorder, typical samples do not have any eigenstates that are involved in system-wide many-body resonances; (ii) there is a substantial intermediate regime where typical samples do have such resonances, but the pair of eigenstates with the minimum spectral gap does not; and (iii) in the weaker randomness regime, the minimum gap is involved in a many-body resonance and thus subject to level repulsion. Nevertheless, even in this third subregime, all but a vanishing fraction of eigenstates remain non-resonant and the system thus still appears MBL in many respects. Based on our estimates of the location of the avalanche instability, it might be that the MBL phase is only part of subregime (i).

Publisher: name: RMIT University

Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)
classificationCode: 470213
subject: Postcolonial studies

description: Background:
My research engages with ideas around problematising the authentic and difference against a normative position within the context of postcolonial theory and asking: do writers representing in-between subjects write from 'no place'? (Monsoon Bride, 2011) or ‘where might a migrant write from?’ and ‘how is such writing made comprehensible to a reader operating in a normative position?’ (Backtracking, 2013). Hasina extends these preoccupations by engaging with Boltanski’s ethics of writing as a response suffering as a spectacle rousing either pity or compassion. It explores these questions within a new context and for new audiences: teachers of Upper Primary and Lower Secondary students as well readers between 11 and 14 years of age.
Contribution:
The novel addresses the recent genocide of the Rohingya, a Muslim group in Myanmar characterised as ‘migrants’ by the military regime. It fills a gap in knowledge and the marketplace for educational material for Australian school-age readers around problems of ‘authenticity’ as it relates to spatiality. For example, Hasina remains in her home in Rakhine state despite the military threat and therefore, must negotiate the idea of being ‘at home’ (space) in a nation (place) where she does not have rights of citizenship. Hasina references postcolonialism and origins of the genocide in colonial modes of thought.

Significance:
Hasina was commissioned by Allen & Unwin. Rights were acquired by the North American publisher, Annick Press; in 2020 the USA and Canada version of the book was published under the title 'Crossing the Farak River.' I wrote about the methodology of writing this novel in the journal Writing in Practice. The novel was reviewed by Children’s Book Daily and I was invited to take part in the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week. It was included in the 2021 list of Outstanding International Books (OIB) by the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY).

Renormalization in string-localized field theories: a microlocal analysis

description: Using methods of microlocal analysis, we prove that the regularization of divergent amplitudes stays a pure ultraviolet problem in string-localized field theories, despite the weaker localization. Thus, power counting does not lose its significance as an indicator for renormalizability. It also follows that standard techniques can be used to regularize divergent amplitudes in string-localized field theories.

Ising model close to $d=2$

description: The $d=2$ critical Ising model is described by an exactly solvable Conformal Field Theory (CFT). The deformation to $d=2+ε$ is a relatively simple system at strong coupling outside of even dimensions. Using novel numerical and analytical conformal bootstrap methods in Lorentzian signature, we show that the leading corrections to the Ising data are more singular than $ε$. There must be infinitely many new states due to the $d$-dependence of conformal symmetry. The linear independence of conformal blocks is central to this bootstrap approach, which can be extended to more rigorous studies of non-positive systems, such as non-unitary, defect/boundary and thermal CFTs.

On the Holding of Spaces for Essaying Into

description: Background
Lucinda Strahan, David Carlin and others have illustrated the value of expanded writing practices for creative and critical inquiry. The term ‘expanded’ comes from ‘Sculpture in the Expanded Field’, wherein Rosalind Krauss argues for understanding sculptural practice beyond traditional three-dimensional objects on plinths. Similarly, expanded essays approach the essay as a mutable form. Playful, collaborative, and interdisciplinary, this expanded essay asks how we might hold ‘spaces’ of writing to think into collectively?

Contribution
This work was assembled for presentation at a public forum hosted by the non/fictionLab. An experiment in holding and articulating a ‘space of writing’, it was designed to explore how different nonfiction methods open new conceptual, affectual, embodied and ethical spaces. Bringing practices across poetry, theatre, sonic and visual arts towards the essayesque called for a hybrid form that allowed for ambiguous voicings of multiple contributors. In transposing the presentation for publication the form of a score was chosen. It includes refrains, solos, sound FX, duets and trios, and a coda. This choric approach allows enactment of the entwining and entanglement of many voices (including guests, Andy Jackson, Tina Stefanou and Khalid Warsame).

Significance
Researchers Melody Ellis and Peta Murray have explored expanded essaying in other fora, together and separately including ACCA’s Doubting Writing/Writing Doubt (2019) and Overlapping Writing (2021), RMIT Design Hub (All the Jewellery, 2019) and Bus Projects’ Walking in the Shape of Infinity (2021). ‘On the Holding of Spaces for Essaying Into’ was published in October 2021 by Cordite Poetry Review in an issue edited by Sarah Gorey and Elena Gomez.

description: A modified-weak-value-amplification(MWVA) technique of measuring the mirror's velocity based on the Vernier-effect has been proposed. We have demonstrated with sensitivity-enhanced and the higher signal-to-noise ratio(${\rm SNR}$) by using two cascaded Michelson interferometers. These two interferometers are composed of similar optical structures. One interferometer with a fixed mirror acts as a fixed part of the Vernier-scale, while the other with a moving mirror acts as a sliding part of the Vernier-scale for velocity sensing. The envelope of the cascaded interferometers shifts much more than a single one with a certain enhancement factor, which is related to the free space range difference between these two interferometers. In addition, we calculate the ${\rm SNR}$ based on the Fisher information with both the MWVA technique and the traditional-weak-value-amplification(TMVA) technique. The results show that the ${\rm SNR}$ with our MWVA technique is larger than the the ${\rm SNR}$ with the TWVA technique within the range of our time measurement window. Our numerical analysis proved that our MWVA technique is more efficient than the TWVA technique. And by using the principles of the Vernier-effect, it is applicative and convenient to ulteriorly improving the sensitivity and ${\rm SNR}$ in measuring other quantities with the MWVA technique.

description: We investigate whether the heart rate can be treated as a semi-random source with the aim of amplification by quantum devices. We use a semi-random source model called $ε$-Santha-Vazirani source, which can be amplified via quantum protocols to obtain fully private random sequence. We analyze time intervals between consecutive heartbeats obtained from Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings of people of different sex and age. We propose several transformations of the original time series into binary sequences. We have performed different statistical randomness tests and estimated quality parameters. We find that the heart can be treated as good enough, and private by its nature, source of randomness, that every human possesses. As such, in principle it can be used as input to quantum device-independent randomness amplification protocols. The properly interpreted $ε$ parameter can potentially serve as a new characteristic of the human's heart from the perspective of medicine.
