Title: Don't panic, but if you panic, panic first! Self-exciting feature in Finance
Abstract: The analysis of financial markets, along with the study of related economic time series, represents an increasing field of research and development of effective applications, from the stochastic processes, as well as from the statistic and computational point of views. We will specialize our analysis on a particular feature of financial markets, namely the existence of jumps' cluster.
From a mathematical point-of-view, we will first introduce Poisson processes and then Hawkes processes. We will show that the self-exciting structure of Hawkes processes can easily explain some features exhibited by financial data. We will also introduce the branching processes (CBI) showing that they can be seen as a natural extension of Hawkes processes. We will show that this class of models has very nice properties from computational as well as from analytical point of view, particularly by exploiting the Dawson-Li representation.

"How to find a suitable stochastic volatility model?"
Abstract In order to construct models that allow us to describe the complexity of real market data, it is important to develop tools that allow us to identify the class of models that are able to generate the desired behavior. In this talk, we will see how several properties of the implied volatility surface can be 'translated' into properties of the Malliavin derivative of the corresponding stochastic volatility model. This will give us a tool to identify the class of models that can reproduce these properties. In particular, we will see that the observed blowup of the ATM implied volatility skew can be described by fractional volatilities with Hurst parameter $H<1/2$. This observation has lead to the recent development of rough volatility models

Risk management for sovereign financing within a debt sustainability framework
Abstract: "The mix of instruments used to finance a sovereign is a key determinant of debt sustainability through its effect on funding costs and risks. We extend standard debt sustainability analysis to incorporate debt-financing decisions in the presence of macroeconomic, financial, and fiscal risks. We optimize the maturity of debt instruments to trade off borrowing costs with refinancing risk. Risk is quantified with a coherent measure of tail risk of financing needs, conditional Flow-at-Risk. A constraint on the pace of reduction of debt stocks is also imposed, and we model the effect of debt stocks on the yield curve through endogenous risk and term premia.
On a simulated economy, we show that the cost-risk and flow-stock trade-offs embedded in issuance decisions are key determinants of the evolution of debt dynamics and are economically significant. Comparing three alternative optimizing strategies and some simple fixed-issuance rules, we also draw lessons on when and why optimizing matters the most. This depends on the risk tolerance level, the size, cost, and maturity of legacy debt, and the sensitivity of interest rates to debt.
Our model quantifies thresholds for the minimum level of refinancing risks and the maximum pace of debt reduction that a sovereign could reach given its economic fundamentals. Going beyond those thresholds is only feasible through adjustments of gross financing needs, and an extension of the baseline model identifies the hot spots for these adjustments, computing their minimum size and optimal timing. Our findings inform policy decisions concerning both official sector borrowing and public finance, with a focus not only on minimizing interest payments but also on managing refinancing risks and increasing debt dynamics."

- May 22th, 2017 Prof Claude Martini (Zeliade Founder and CEO, INRIA reseacher) "The Jupyter revolution"
IPython notebooks (now Jupyter notebooks) have been created at Berkeley 5 years ago and are now ubiquitous in data science. They allow to mix scientific markup and code to create executable documents, and to share and disseminate reproducible pieces of research. Notebooks are ideal for student projects and collaboration within a research group. In this talk I will illustrate the whole potential of notebooks and I will show their usage at my fintech company, Zeliade Systems, where we have designed the Zanadu notebooks platform in particular to promote notebooks based collaboration between academic labs and the industry.
