SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Affine processes have been used extensively to model financial\nphenomena since their marginal distributions are very tractable from\nan analytic point of view (up to the solution of a non-linear\ndifferential equation). It is well known by works of\nDynkin-McKean-LeJan-Sznitman that one can turn this point of view\naround and represent solutions of non-linear PDEs by affine\nprocesses. Recent advances in mathematical Finance in this direction\nhave been contributed by Henry-Labordere\, Tan and Touzi. We shall\nprovide some general theory in this direction from the affine point of\nview and introduce stochastic representation of fully non-linear\nPDEs. \n\n(Joint work with Georg Grafendorfer and Christa Cuchiero)\n Speaker(s): Josef Teichmann (ETH)

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:CenterSpace: Women Loving Women
DESCRIPTION:CenterSpace provides a weekly drop-in space for different communities within queer & trans life at the University of Michigan. Tuesday CenterSpace creates women loving women\, and those who are questioning or of similar identities\, to gain support from one another while building a community of collective resources. There will be a CenterSpace host each evening who identifies within the community being centered\, as well as light refreshments.  All students are welcome to join us for one or many meetings throughout the Fall 16 semester!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Nonlinear Waves: Solitons at age 50 and …
DESCRIPTION:The study of nonlinear waves is filled with many remarkable discoveries\, one of them being ‘solitons’\, found some 50 years ago. Solitons have become both a popular concept and are found in many areas of physics. They are solutions to many important equations in mathematical physics. Dispersive shock waves\, in which solitons play a role\, will also be mentioned.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Banks' assets are opaque\, and therefore\, we model their true accounting asset values as partially observed variables. We derive a stochastic control model to optimize banks' dividend and recapitalization policies in this situation\, and calibrate that to a sample of U.S. banks. By the calibrated model\, the noise in reported accounting asset values hides about one-third of the true asset return volatility and raises the banks' market equity value by 7.8% because the noise hides the banks' solvency risk from banking regulators. Particularly\, those banks with a high level of loan loss provisions\, nonperforming assets\, and real estate loans\, and with a low volatility of reported total assets have noisy accounting asset values. Because of the substantial shock on the true asset values\, the banks' assets were more opaque during the recent financial crisis. Speaker(s): Jussi Keppo (National University of Singapore)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Imagining Adam and Eve: Hermaphrodites in the Garden of Eden
DESCRIPTION:Leah DeVun focuses on the history of gender\, sexuality\, and science in pre-modern Europe\, as well as on contemporary queer and feminist studies. She is the award-winning author of Prophecy\, Alchemy\, and the End of Time (2009). She has also published articles in GLQ\, Radical History Review\, Women’s Studies Quarterly\, Osiris\, and Wired. Her current project is Enter Sex: A History of Hermaphrodites in the Middle Ages\, which examines the history of sexual difference by looking at how scientists\, lawyers\, and religious thinkers\, among others\, have conceived of sex — particularly through their approaches to people with atypical anatomies — in the past and present.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Economics (ISQM)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe review targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE)\, which provides a general template for the construction of asymptotically efficient plug-in estimators of a differentiable target parameter. TMLE involves maximizing a parametric likelihood along a so-called least favorable parametric model through an initial estimator of the data density\, and iterating this updating process till convergence. For one-dimensional target parameters\, we propose a universal least-favorable submodel that (a) guarantees that the TMLE only takes one step\, and thus always exists in closed form\, and (b) renders the targeting step of the TMLE maximally effective\, resulting in meaningful practical improvements relative to an iterative TMLE. We generalize this to multivariate and infinite-dimensional parameters\, and illustrate our proposal in several causal estimation problems. The asymptotic efficiency of the TMLE relies on the asymptotic negligibility of a second-order term. This typically requires the initial data density estimator to converge fast enough. We propose a new estimator\, the Highly Adaptive LASSO (HAL)\, of the data density (and its functionals) that converges at a sufficient rate regardless of the dimensionality of the problem\, under almost no additional regularity. This allows us to propose a one-step TMLE that is asymptotically efficient in great generality across all models and differentiable target parameters. We demonstrate the practical performance of HAL and its corresponding TMLE for the average causal effect.
