Extension and calibration of a Hawkes-based optimal execution model
We provide some theoretical extensions and a calibration protocol for our
former dynamic optimal execution model. The Hawkes parameters and the
propagator are estimated independently on financial data from stocks of the
CAC40. Interestingly, the propagator exhibits a smoothly decaying form with one
or two dominant time scales, but only so after a few seconds that the market
needs to adjust after a large trade. Motivated by our estimation results, we
derive the optimal execution strategy for a multi-exponential Hawkes kernel and
backtest it on the data for round trips. We find that the strategy is
profitable on average when trading at the midprice, which is in accordance with
violated martingale conditions. However, in most cases, these profits vanish
when we take bid-ask costs into account
The fine structure of volatility feedback II: overnight and intra-day effects
We decompose, within an ARCH framework, the daily volatility of stocks into
overnight and intra-day contributions. We find, as perhaps expected, that the
overnight and intra-day returns behave completely differently. For example,
while past intra-day returns affect equally the future intra-day and overnight
volatilities, past overnight returns have a weak effect on future intra-day
volatilities (except for the very next one) but impact substantially future
overnight volatilities. The exogenous component of overnight volatilities is
found to be close to zero, which means that the lion's share of overnight
volatility comes from feedback effects. The residual kurtosis of returns is
small for intra-day returns but infinite for overnight returns. We provide a
plausible interpretation for these findings, and show that our
Intra-Day/Overnight model significantly outperforms the standard ARCH framework
based on daily returns for Out-of-Sample predictions
JAPANESE DEMAND FOR WHEAT PROTEIN QUANTITY AND QUALITY
Ladd and Martin's hedonic pricing model is extended to include the interactive effect of noncontracted characteristics on the value of contracted characteristics. Marginal values of wheat protein in the Japanese import market are estimated using the interactive effects of noncontracted dough/flour characteristics typically proxied by protein. Protein value is linked positively to farinograph stability, a prime factor in blending different flours. Three high protein wheats maintained about the same marginal value of protein. The marginal value for the two low protein wheats appear more end-use dependant. They varied in a $2.00/ton range depending on protein absorption, stability, and extensibility.Demand and Price Analysis,

When Gold Cations Meet Polyoxometalates
International audienceMerging gold(I) cations with polyoxometalate anions results in various interclusters and complexes. Herein, the syntheses of these newly emerging gold(I)/polyoxometalate materials are reviewed. The applications of these promising hybrids in organic catalysis are also summarized and evaluated in terms of the advantages and limitations of the catalysts including efficiency, synergistic effects and recyclability
Experimental phase-space-based optical amplification of scar modes
Waves billiard which are chaotic in the geometrical limit are known to
support non-generic spatially localized modes called scar modes. The
interaction of the scar modes with gain has been recently investigated in
optics in micro-cavity lasers and vertically-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
Exploiting the localization properties of scar modes in their wave analogous
phase space representation, we report experimental results of scar modes
