This article presents a Hawkes process model with Markovian baseline intensities for high-frequency order book data modeling. We classified intraday order book trading events into a range of categories based on their order types and the price change after their arrivals. In order to capture the stimulating effects between multiple types of order book events, we use a multivariate Hawkes process to model the self-exciting and mutually exciting event arrivals. We also integrate Markovian baseline intensities into the event arrival dynamic, by including the impacts of order book liquidity state and time factor on the baseline intensity. A regression-based nonparametric estimation procedure is adopted to estimate the model parameters in our Hawkes+Markovian model. To eliminate redundant model parameters, LASSO regularization is incorporated into the estimation procedure. Besides, a model selection method based on Akaike information criteria is applied to evaluate the effect of each part of the proposed model. An implementation example based on real limit order book data is provided. Through the example we studied the empirical shapes of Hawkes excitement functions, the effects of liquidity as well as time factors, the LASSO variable selection, and the explanation power of Hawkes and Markovian elements to the dynamics of order book.","PeriodicalId":48880,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics","volume":"227 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139645156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal stopping problem is one of the core problems in financial markets, with broad applications such as pricing American and Bermudan options. The deep BSDE method [J. Han, A. Jentzen, and W. E, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 115 (2018), pp. 8505–8510] has shown great power in solving high-dimensional forward-backward stochastic differential equations and has inspired many applications. However, the method solves backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) in a forward manner, which cannot be used for optimal stopping problems that in general require running BSDE backwardly. To overcome this difficulty, a recent paper [H. Wang et al., Deep Learning-Based BSDE Solver for LIBOR Market Model with Application to Bermudan Swaption Pricing and Hedging, arXiv:1807.06622, 2018] proposed the backward deep BSDE method to solve the optimal stopping problem. In this paper, we provide a rigorous theory for the backward deep BSDE method. Specifically, (1) we derive the a posteriori error estimation, i.e., the error of the numerical solution can be bounded by the training loss function; and (2) we give an upper bound of the loss function, which can be sufficiently small subject to universal approximations. We give two numerical examples, which present consistent performance with the proved theory.","PeriodicalId":48880,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138514687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, an investor considers alternative strategies whose terminal wealth lies within a Wasserstein ball surrounding a benchmark’s terminal wealth—being distributionally close—and that have a specified dependence/copula tying state-by-state outcomes to it. The investor then chooses the alternative strategy that minimizes a distortion risk measure of terminal wealth. In a general complete market model, we prove that an optimal dynamic strategy exists and provide its characterization through the notion of isotonic projections. We further propose a simulation approach to calculate the optimal strategy’s terminal wealth, making our approach applicable to a wide range of market models. Finally, we illustrate how investors with different copula and risk preferences invest and improve upon the benchmark using the Tail Value-at-Risk, inverse S-shaped, and lower- and upper-tail distortion risk measures as examples. We find that investors’ optimal terminal wealth distribution has larger probability masses in regions that reduce their risk measure relative to the benchmark while preserving the benchmark’s structure.","PeriodicalId":48880,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics","volume":"9 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135821495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investor concerns about the terminal relative growth rate (log-return) instead of absolute capital value. This model can be regarded as an extension of the classical growth optimal problem to the behavioral framework. It leads to a new type of M-shaped utility maximization problem under nonlinear Choquet expectation. Due to the presence of probability distortion, the classical stochastic control methods are not applicable. By the martingale method, concavification and quantile optimization techniques, we derive the closed-form optimal growth rate. We find that the benchmark growth rate has a significant impact on investment behaviors. Compared to Zhang et al where the same preference measure is applied to the terminal relative wealth, we find a new phenomenon when the investor's risk tolerance level is high and the market states are bad. In addition, our optimal wealth in every scenario is less sensitive to the pricing kernel and thus more stable than theirs.","PeriodicalId":48880,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics","volume":"24 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
