The use of dynamical networks to detect the hierarchical organization of financial market sectors
Two kinds of filtered networks: minimum spanning trees (MSTs) and planar maximally filtered graphs (PMFGs) are constructed from dynamical correlations computed over a moving window. We study the evolution over time of both hierarchical and topological properties of these graphs in relation to market fluctuations. We verify that the dynamical PMFG preserves the same hierarchical structure as the dynamical MST, providing in addition a more significant and richer structure, a stronger robustness and dynamical stability. Central and peripheral stocks are differentiated by using a combination of different topological measures. We find stocks well connected and central; stocks well connected but peripheral; stocks poorly connected but central; stocks poorly connected and peripheral. It results that the Financial sector plays a central role in the entire system. The robustness, stability and persistence of these findings are verified by changing the time window and by performing the computations on different time periods. We discuss these results and the economic meaning of this hierarchical positioning
Structural and topological phase transitions on the German Stock Exchange
We find numerical and empirical evidence for dynamical, structural and
topological phase transitions on the (German) Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) in
the temporal vicinity of the worldwide financial crash. Using the Minimal
Spanning Tree (MST) technique, a particularly useful canonical tool of the
graph theory, two transitions of the topology of a complex network representing
FSE were found. First transition is from a hierarchical scale-free MST
representing the stock market before the recent worldwide financial crash, to a
superstar-like MST decorated by a scale-free hierarchy of trees representing
the market's state for the period containing the crash. Subsequently, a
transition is observed from this transient, (meta)stable state of the crash, to
a hierarchical scale-free MST decorated by several star-like trees after the
worldwide financial crash. The phase transitions observed are analogous to the
ones we obtained earlier for the Warsaw Stock Exchange and more pronounced than
those found by Onnela-Chakraborti-Kaski-Kert\'esz for S&P 500 index in the
vicinity of Black Monday (October 19, 1987) and also in the vicinity of January
1, 1998. Our results provide an empirical foundation for the future theory of
dynamical, structural and topological phase transitions on financial markets
Asset Clusters and Asset Networks in Financial Risk Management and Portfolio Optimization
In this work we use explorative statistical and data mining methods for financial applications like risk management, portfolio optimization and market analysis. The outcomes are visualized and the relations are quantified by mathematical measures. Researchers, analysts and decision makers can visually explore the structures and can carry out management initiatives based on automatic measures provided by the system. There are example applications to equity and loan portfolios

๊ณตํ๊ณผ, 2020. 8. ์ฅ์ฐ์ง.Financial risk sets off a chain reaction in the market and leads to a collapse of the system, called a domino effect. Since the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 hit economies across the world, it has emerged important research fields to understand and analyze the financial system properly to deal with financial risk. Econophysics is an interdisciplinary research field to explain the stylized facts in financial systems that are unexplainable by traditional financial theories. In particular, the complex network models that represent a system by nodes and links are widely applied regardless of research areas. However, since the existing complex network models for financial markets usually end up in confirming empirical results such as a structural change in the network and diffusion paths of risk, based on historical data, it has limitations to suggest direct alternatives. To cope with these limitations, this dissertation proposes a link prediction model based on the real effective exchange rate (REER) that reveals the relationships clearly between the compositions. At first, it is confirmed that the network successfully mimics the market to ensure the validity of the network structure prediction. The results show that the return of REER has fat-tailed distributions whose tails are not exponentially bounded and follow a power-law. Also, for the analysis, the changes are focused on cross-sectional topology and time-varying properties of the network during the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, the European debt crisis, and the Chinese stock market turbulence. The result implies that the network appropriately describes the market by showing the significant increments in out-degrees and in-degrees of the originating continents of the crises. Secondly, the Weighted Causality Link Prediction (WCLP) model is proposed to predict future possible links by measuring the similarities between different nodes. This model has differentiations that it measures the strength of directed Granger causality directions as effect sizes based on -statistics, while the existing models are based on correlations. The experiment is conducted under the hypothesis that the intensity of connections is different from each other and maintains longer when the effect size is larger. The higher prediction accuracy is observed rather than that of unweighted or correlation-based weighted models by showing the statistical significance of higher Area Under Curve (AUC) in every aspects. Finally, a decision making model for investment is proposed based on the results of the link prediction. Once the portfolio is composed of stocks located in the periphery of the PMFG, it distributes the risk due to the low correlation between assets. However, the correlation does not represent the relationship by time lags since it implies only the extent of association between them. Therefore, this dissertation proposes the Weighted Causality Planar Graph (WCPG) that is improved from the Planar Correlation Planar Graph (PCPG) model. It differs from the existing models in that it considers directions and strength of links based on the similarity score between assets. As a result, the proposed model improves the performance in terms of risk-adjusted return compared to the benchmarks. Especially, it has an advantage in long-term investment for over 6 months. In conclusion, the contributions of this dissertation involve the development of an effective link prediction model based on the effect size and the attempt to suggest a decision-making model for investment.๊ธ์ต ์์ฅ์์ ๋ฐ์ํ๋ ์ํ์ ํ๋์ ๊ธ์ต ์ฒด๊ณ(System)์์ ์ฐ์ ์์ฉ์ผ๋ก ์ด์ด์ง๋ฉฐ ์ด๊ฒ์ ๊ณง ์์คํ

Can Google Trends search queries contribute to risk diversification?
Portfolio diversification and active risk management are essential parts of
financial analysis which became even more crucial (and questioned) during and
after the years of the Global Financial Crisis. We propose a novel approach to
portfolio diversification using the information of searched items on Google
Trends. The diversification is based on an idea that popularity of a stock
measured by search queries is correlated with the stock riskiness. We penalize
the popular stocks by assigning them lower portfolio weights and we bring
forward the less popular, or peripheral, stocks to decrease the total riskiness
of the portfolio. Our results indicate that such strategy dominates both the
benchmark index and the uniformly weighted portfolio both in-sample and
out-of-sample.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Cryptocurrency market structure: connecting emotions and economics
We study the dependency and causality structure of the cryptocurrency market
investigating collective movements of both prices and social sentiment related
to almost two thousand cryptocurrencies traded during the first six months of
2018. This is the first study of the whole cryptocurrency market structure. It
introduces several rigorous innovative methodologies applicable to this and to
several other complex systems where a large number of variables interact in a
non-linear way, which is a distinctive feature of the digital economy. The
analysis of the dependency structure reveals that prices are significantly
correlated with sentiment. The major, most capitalised cryptocurrencies, such
as bitcoin, have a central role in the price correlation network but only a
marginal role in the sentiment network and in the network describing the
interactions between the two. The study of the causality structure reveals a
causality network that is consistently related with the correlation structures
and shows that both prices cause sentiment and sentiment cause prices across
currencies with the latter being stronger in size but smaller in number of
significative interactions. Overall our study uncovers a complex and rich
structure of interrelations where prices and sentiment influence each other
both instantaneously and with lead-lag causal relations. A major finding is
that minor currencies, with small capitalisation, play a crucial role in
shaping the overall dependency and causality structure. Despite the high level
of noise and the short time-series we verified that these networks are
significant with all links statistically validated and with a structural
organisation consistently reproduced across all networks.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
Sectoral analysis of the US stock market through complex networks
PURPOSE: This study was carried out to analyze the structure of the aggregated network at
the level of economic sectors and to reveal the central/peripheral sectors.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The study uses the method of complex networks, with the
two-step procedure employed to construct the network of economic sectors. First, the MST
approach is utilized based on the cross-correlation of 496 stock price returns of the S&P500
Index. Then, the network is aggregated at the level of economic sectors. In addition, to
analyze the graph, the network theory, multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), and relative
importance approaches are employed.FINDINGS: The results indicate that the sectoral network has a core/periphery structure.
Based on the centrality measures, the ranking of sectors is provided. Of the 11 sectors, 3 are
classified as central nodes, 4 as peripheral nodes, and the remaining 4 are classified as
intermediate. In addition, the network configuration analysis demonstrates that the graph
consists of two parts with a star-like structure, connected through the industrials sector.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: An analysis of the cross-correlation network of aggregated assets at
the level of economic sectors can be applied to ascertain the direction of stock price
movements in the stock market. The division of sectors in the network into central and
peripheral nodes has important implications for the management of an optimal portfolio of
stocks.ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study contributes to complex network theory and portfolio strategy
design. A unique procedure is proposed to construct the network of economic sectors using
the MST-based approach. Detection of the stock market network structure is vital for
investors and regulators alike.peer-reviewe
Will the US Economy Recover in 2010? A Minimal Spanning Tree Study
We calculated the cross correlations between the half-hourly times series of
the ten Dow Jones US economic sectors over the period February 2000 to August
2008, the two-year intervals 2002--2003, 2004--2005, 2008--2009, and also over
11 segments within the present financial crisis, to construct minimal spanning
trees (MSTs) of the US economy at the sector level. In all MSTs, a core-fringe
structure is found, with consumer goods, consumer services, and the industrials
consistently making up the core, and basic materials, oil and gas, healthcare,
telecommunications, and utilities residing predominantly on the fringe. More
importantly, we find that the MSTs can be classified into two distinct,
statistically robust, topologies: (i) star-like, with the industrials at the
center, associated with low-volatility economic growth; and (ii) chain-like,
associated with high-volatility economic crisis. Finally, we present
statistical evidence, based on the emergence of a star-like MST in Sep 2009,
and the MST staying robustly star-like throughout the Greek Debt Crisis, that
the US economy is on track to a recovery.Comment: elsarticle class, includes amsmath.sty, graphicx.sty and url.sty. 68
