    Reflected BSDE driven by a marked point process with a convex/concave generator

    Full text link
    In this paper, a class of reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDE) driven by a marked point process (MPP) with a convex/concave generator is studied. Based on fixed point argument, θ\theta-method and truncation technique, the well-posedness of this kind of RBSDE with unbounded terminal condition and obstacle is investigated. Besides, we present an application on the pricing of American options via utility maximization, which is solved by constructing an RBSDE with a convex generator.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2310.1472

    Mean reflected BSDE driven by a marked point process and application in insurance risk management

    Full text link
    This paper aims to solve a super-hedging problem along with insurance re-payment under running risk management constraints. The initial endowment for the super-heding problem is characterized by a class of mean reflected backward stochastic differential equation driven by a marked point process (MPP) and a Brownian motion. By Lipschitz assumptions on the generators and proper integrability on the terminal value, we give the well-posedness of this kind of BSDEs by combining a representation theorem with the fixed point argument.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2310.1472

    Quadratic exponential BSDEs driven by a marked point process

    Full text link
    In this paper, the well-posedness of quadratic exponential backward stochastic differential equations driven by marked point process (MPP) under unbounded terminal condition is studied based on a fixed point argument, θ\theta-method and an approximation procedure. We also prove the solvability of the mean reflected quadratic exponential backward stochastic differential equations driven by marked point process via θ\theta-method

    Towards Grouping in Large Scenes with Occlusion-aware Spatio-temporal Transformers

    Full text link
    Group detection, especially for large-scale scenes, has many potential applications for public safety and smart cities. Existing methods fail to cope with frequent occlusions in large-scale scenes with multiple people, and are difficult to effectively utilize spatio-temporal information. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end framework,GroupTransformer, for group detection in large-scale scenes. To deal with the frequent occlusions caused by multiple people, we design an occlusion encoder to detect and suppress severely occluded person crops. To explore the potential spatio-temporal relationship, we propose spatio-temporal transformers to simultaneously extract trajectory information and fuse inter-person features in a hierarchical manner. Experimental results on both large-scale and small-scale scenes demonstrate that our method achieves better performance compared with state-of-the-art methods. On large-scale scenes, our method significantly boosts the performance in terms of precision and F1 score by more than 10%. On small-scale scenes, our method still improves the performance of F1 score by more than 5%.

    Investor Attention and Crowdfunding Performance

    Get PDF
    Today's digital era facilitates the rise of crowdfunding markets by allowing entrepreneurs to seek funding directly from crowds. Crowdfunding, as IT-enabled disintermediation, lowers entry barriers for crowds to invest in business projects and entrepreneurs to obtain funding, yet may exacerbate information asymmetry and absorb investor attention to process information about the potential projects. We develop a model wherein investors with limited attention aggregate personalized information about (reward-based) crowdfunding projects and conduct comparative analyses on how rises in investors’ unit attention cost (associated with greater distractions) affect investor attention, investment decisions, and crowdfunding performance. We then exploit a novel measure of distraction---news pressure---to test the effects of distraction on investor engagement and crowdfunding performance empirically, and the results support our model predictions
