    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This essay proposes a new model of personal and public wealth-building that can address the current crisis of inequality in the United States. We place contemporary American wealth inequality into its historical context by tracing how federal government policies have worked to support personal and public wealth building across three periods: the First Industrial Revolution of the mid-19th century, the Second Industrial Revolution of the early 20th century, and the Information and Communication Technology revolution of the late-20th century. We then suggest a series of potential governmental policies that can help to ensure a more equitable wealth distribution in the future. Our proposed “mutualist” model of political economy would allow for the large-scale diffusion of productivity gains that may follow the installation of deployment of the next wave of general-purpose technologies. This new social contract will move beyond the welfare state’s focus on insurance toward a more radical notion of shared ownership of returns on capital via universal individual capital endowments and new public investment channels that control shares in firms and intellectual property.

    <title>Veblen’s Idea of Business Versus Industry | Ian Welsh</title>
    <dc:date>2020-03-19T12:27:17+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.ianwelsh.net/veblens-idea-of-business-versus-industry/</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[To Veblen the money economy was “institutional,” and not a natural requirement of humanity. He used “institution” in a broad and new sense, as a method of action arrived at by habituation and convention and generally agreed upon. Most “orthodox” economists would have agreed with this, but they presumed that “institutions,” in the ordinary sense of the term, arose in response to men’s needs and represented the state to which man had progressed in his struggle with nature. Veblen criticized this view as ignoring what the institution had become, an end rather than a means. To him “institutions” of price, property, and contract were active forces rather than passive embodiments of nature to which man adjusted himself by pleasure and pain. “Institutions” were themselves the embodiments and channels of the activity of man. Habits of thought were created by habits of action. Money, therefore, could not be viewed as a medium of exchange, and the successful large businessman ceased to be merely an intermediary in the efficient organization of industrial forces to satisfy men’s wants. With money and securities made ends in themselves, or, more accurately, with the complex of “institutions” comprising modern business given an active or creative role, corporation finance became the main character in the drama. On its side, the machine technology, which comprised the industrial “institutions,” could not be viewed merely as an element of production, different only in degree from artisan labor, but as a comprehensive and delicate process with a distinctive life of its own. Now the objective of the pecuniary experts was neither the supplying of goods to the consumer nor the efficiency of industry, but the accumulation of funded wealth, the making of money. Every step in the never-ceasing integration of industry, however, provided them with greater opportunities to achieve their ends, and these in their turn disturbed the arrangements of industry.

    <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.07790</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We propose a novel explanation for classic international macro puzzles regarding capital flows and portfolio investment, which builds on modern macro-finance models of experience-based belief formation. Individual experiences of past macroeconomic outcomes have been shown to exert a long-lasting influence on beliefs about future realizations, and to explain domestic stock-market investment. We argue that experience effects can explain the tendency of investors to hold an over proportional fraction of their equity wealth in domestic stocks (home bias), to invest in domestic equity markets in periods of domestic crises (retrenchment), and to withdraw capital from foreign equity markets in periods of foreign crises (fickleness). Experience-based learning generates additional implications regarding the strength of these puzzles in times of higher or lower economic activity and depending on the demographic composition of market participants. We test and confirm these predictions in the data.

    <title>Predatory Lending and the Predator State « Law and Political Economy</title>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Changing the culture around public finance will be challenging. But creative collective action is both possible and necessary. We don’t know if the predators will bleed us dry (or destroy our entire environment). But we can at least avoid predatory inclusion and focus on capturing the public purse. Rather than leaning into financialization, we can fight for rights in all spheres of life. A democracy of consumers dependent upon an aristocracy of financiers is no democracy at all.

I humbly submit that because MMT and LPE pay intimate attention to both laws and economic facts, together we can not only challenge the predator state, but help nurture that “new phase of human development”: a world with no predators, and no prey.

    <title>DAVID GRAEBER / The Revolt of the Caring Classes / 2018 - YouTube</title>

    <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-WWw1wydwI</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The financialisation of major economies since the '80s has radically changed the terms for social movements everywhere. How does one organise workplaces, for example, in societies where up to 40% of the workforce believe their jobs should not exist? David Graeber makes the case that, slowly but surely, a new form of class politics is emerging, based around recognising the centrality of meaningful 'caring labour' in creating social value. He identifies a slowly emerging rebellion of the caring classes which potentially represents just as much of a threat to financial capitalism as earlier forms of proletarian struggle did to industrial capitalism.

David Graeber is Professor of Anthropology, London School of Economics and previously Assistant Professor and Associate Professor of Anthropology at Yale and Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London. His books include The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy (2015) Debt: The First 5000 Years (2011) and Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology (2004). His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, 'We are the 99 percent'.

This lecture was given at the Collège de France on the 22nd March 2018."]]></description>

The outcome for the distribution of prices is shown to depend both on the dimension of the system and the introduction of price into the link measure. For dimensions below 2, the associated risk is high and the price distribution is bimodal. For higher dimensions, the price distribution is Gaussian and the associated risk is much lower. It is suggested that the results are relevant to rare assets or situations where few players are involved in the deal making process.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The classical AM-GM inequality has been generalized in a number of ways. Generalizations which incorporate variance appear to be the most useful in economics and finance, as well as mathematically natural. Previous work leaves unanswered the question of finding sharp bounds for the geometric mean in terms of the arithmetic mean and variance. In this paper we prove such an inequality. A particular consequence is easily described: among all positive sequences having given length, arithmetic mean and nonzero variance, the geometric mean is maximal when all terms in the sequence except one are equal to each other and are less than the arithmetic mean.

We prove existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibria and give closed-form solutions in some special cases. We also analyze qualitative properties of the equilibrium strategies and provide corresponding financial interpretations.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Although the understanding of and motivation behind individual trading behavior is an important puzzle in finance, little is known about the connection between an investor's portfolio structure and her trading behavior in practice. In this paper, we investigate the relation between what stocks investors hold, and what stocks they buy, and show that investors with similar portfolio structures to a great extent trade in a similar way. With data from the central register of shareholdings in Sweden, we model the market in a similarity network, by considering investors as nodes, connected with links representing portfolio similarity. From the network, we find groups of investors that not only identify different investment strategies, but also represent groups of individual investors trading in a similar way. These findings suggest that the stock portfolios of investors hold meaningful information, which could be used to earn a better understanding of stock market dynamics.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In the past decades, advanced probabilistic methods have had significant impact on the field of finance, both in academia and in the financial industry. Conversely, financial questions have stimulated new research directions in probability. In this survey paper, we review some of these developments and point to some areas that might deserve further investigation. We start by reviewing the basics of arbitrage pricing theory, with special emphasis on incomplete markets and on the different roles played by the "real-world" probability measure and its equivalent martingale measures. We then focus on the issue of model ambiguity, also called Knightian uncertainty. We present two case studies in which it is possible to deal with Knightian uncertainty in mathematical terms. The first case study concerns the hedging of derivatives, such as variance swaps, in a strictly pathwise sense. The second one deals with capital requirements and preferences specified by convex and coherent risk measures. In the final two sections we discuss mathematical issues arising from the dramatic increase of algorithmic trading in modern financial markets.

    <link>http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.2130</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Using public data (Forbes Global 2000) we show that the distribution of asset sizes for the largest global firms follows a Pareto distribution in an intermediate range that is "interrupted" by a sharp cutoff in its upper tail, which is totally dominated by financial firms. This contrasts with a large body of empirical literature which finds a Pareto distribution for firm sizes both across countries and over time. Pareto distributions are generally traced back to a mechanism of proportional random growth, based on a regime of constant returns to scale: this makes our evidence of an "interrupted" Pareto distribution all the more puzzling, because we provide evidence that financial firms in our sample operate in such a regime. 
We claim that the missing mass from the upper tail of the asset size distribution is a consequence of shadow banking activity and that it provides an estimate of the size of the shadow banking system. This estimate -- that we propose as a shadow banking index -- compares well with estimates of the Financial Stability Board until 2009, but it shows a sharper rise in shadow banking activity after 2010.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Understanding the mutual relationships between information flows and social activity in society today is one of the cornerstones of the social sciences. In financial economics, the key issue in this regard is understanding and quantifying how news of all possible types (geopolitical, environmental, social, financial, economic, etc.) affect trading and the pricing of firms in organized stock markets. In this article, we seek to address this issue by performing an analysis of more than 24 million news records provided by Thompson Reuters and of their relationship with trading activity for 206 major stocks in the S&P US stock index. We show that the whole landscape of news that affect stock price movements can be automatically summarized via simple regularized regressions between trading activity and news information pieces decomposed, with the help of simple topic modeling techniques, into their "thematic" features. Using these methods, we are able to estimate and quantify the impacts of news on trading. We introduce network-based visualization techniques to represent the whole landscape of news information associated with a basket of stocks. The examination of the words that are representative of the topic distributions confirms that our method is able to extract the significant pieces of information influencing the stock market. Our results show that one of the most puzzling stylized fact in financial economies, namely that at certain times trading volumes appear to be "abnormally large," can be partially explained by the flow of news. In this sense, our results prove that there is no "excess trading," when restricting to times when news are genuinely novel and provide relevant financial information.]]></description>

"By making resource decisions as late as possible instead of in an annual budget, we have better information — not just about project attractiveness but also about our capacity to fund or man new projects."

Encouraged by positive results from abandoning the budget, Statoil recently decided to abolish the calendar year as a planning tool and introduce a business- and event-driven management process in its stead."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In short, Google is borrowing $3 billion at a yield that is just about the lowest yield in modern U.S. history. The Federal Reserve has been trying very hard to convince the world to borrow dollars, and Google is simply taking its advice. If corporate tax rates decline in the next year or so — a bet that looks more attractive almost every day — and if the economy improves and interest rates rise, Google will have executed a very profitable trifecta: It could repatriate its cash at a lower tax rate and buy back its bonds at a discount.
And even if none of this works out, Google's cost of borrowing $3 billion will only be about 2.3%, which in an historical context is not very much. And if the dollar continues to depreciate, then borrowing dollars today in order to keep cash abroad will also prove to be a profitable strategy."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Despite the availability of very detailed data on financial market, agent-based modeling is hindered by the lack of information about real trader behavior. This makes it impossible to validate agent-based models, which are thus reverse-engineering attempts. This work is a contribution to the building of a set of stylized facts about the traders themselves. Using the client database of Swissquote Bank SA, the largest on-line Swiss broker, we find empirical relationships between turnover, account values and the number of assets in which a trader is invested. A theory based on simple mean-variance portfolio optimization that crucially includes variable transaction costs is able to reproduce faithfully the observed behaviors. We finally argue that our results bring into light the collective ability of a population to construct a mean-variance portfolio that takes into account the structure of transaction costs."

But in the current, knowledge-based economy much of the value creation precedes, sometimes by years, the occurrence of transactions. Until then, the accounting system does not register any value created in contrast to the investments made into R&D, which are fully expensed. This difference, between how the accounting system is handling value created and is handling investments into value creation, is the major reason for the growing disconnect between market values and financial information."

The latter are now subject to forces different from those in the periods covered by the research studies. The actions of passive index investors are new factors impacting the prices of commodity futures. I wouldn’t necessarily expect commodities to continue performing as they may have performed in the decades before the 2000s – i.e. registering average returns similar to stocks at lower levels of risk and with low correlations to stocks."

The goal is to identify rating classes for which the probability of default is estimated inaccurately, while still maintaining a predefined level of committing type I errors as measured by the familywise error rate (FWER) and the false discovery rate (FDR). For FWER, we also consider procedures that take possible discreteness of the data resp. test statistics into account. The performance of these methods is illustrated in a simulation setting and for empirical default data."

The model follows a "zero intelligence" approach where the actions of the traders are related to a stochastic variable, the market sentiment, which we define as a mixture of public and private information. The model, despite the parsimonious approach, is able to reproduce several empirical features of the high-frequency dynamics of the market microstructure not only related to the price movements but also to the deposition of the orders in the book."

In a complete subversion of free-market principles, they take no risk, score deals based on political influence rather than competition, keep consumers in the dark — and walk away with big money. "It's not high finance," says Taylor, the former bond regulator. "It's low finance." And even if the regulators manage to catch up with them billions of dollars later, the banks just pay a small fine and move on to the next scam. This isn't capitalism. It's nomadic thievery."'

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It is at the three or four times in a 24 hour period that forex traders are well advised to switch tack and reverse near-term directional thinking. The European and NYMEX close are the U.S. based things to get under our belts, because then, maybe, the equity markets can reveal where they really want to go. Traders looking for moves outside of 06:00 and 11:00 EDT, and maybe 14:30 EDT may just find themselves sitting and waiting, wondering why they just bought the high of the day that then reversed.
As the global economy travels through the contraction phase of its business cycle the leaning is towards looking at S&P futures trade to confirm sentiment. The speculators are never too far away from the S&P in times of fear; either selling into the fear of loss, or buying into the fear of missing profits. That is the reason for so much near-term volatility, and that is how things will stay until signs of GDP expansion are seen globally."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In 2008 and 2009 exports of debt (the toxic stuff plus the nominally non-toxic stuff (US Treasuries)), only accounted for 3%.

It is common practice to ignore exports of debt when calculating America’s balance of trade. But, conceptually, there is not much difference between selling a foreigner or a foreign government a toxic synthetic CDO (that blows up in his face) and selling him a ship-load of genetically engineered soya-beans (or melamine tainted milk).

The logic for leaving exports of debt out of the calculation is presumably that at some point in the future the CDO that was “sold” will need to be paid back, which will require funds to flow out of USA into the pockets of foreigners, who may then decide to exchange those dollars for something else."

Shareholders can easily determine how invested management is in a company by looking in the same place that a company's executive compensation can be found. Unfortunately, the use of equity swaps, becoming more common in the financial world, can render the information on management's stake in the company essentially useless."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Think back to the dot-com era, when venture capitalists were spending all their money laying fiber-optic cable under the street. The right solution wasn’t for the Fed to raise interest rates until even punch-drunk venture capitalists could realize all this investment in fiber wouldn’t be profitable. The right solution was to take their money away. Give it to the poor, who will spend it on something useful, like food and clothing.

So those are Keynes’ prescriptions for a successful economy: low interest rates, government investment, and redistribution to the poor. And, for a time — from around the 1940s to the 1970s — that’s kind of what we did. The results were magical: the economy grew strongly, inequality fell away, everyone had jobs."

Another region that is represented is Latin America, through the (ILF) ETF. A couple of other smaller country names appearing on the list are Thailand (THD), Austria (EWO), and Israel (EIS)."

The magic threshold in the business is $100m AUM with +36 months of exposure because these are the operational levels, where most institutions start looking around at allocations. Please note instituional sales cycles for allocations are 9-12 months, while family offices are estimated at 12-18 months."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["But perhaps there are internal numbers that work out that justify this differential of fees. If so, why aren’t the funds shouting them from the rooftops? In an age when individuals have had a lot of their financial risks shifted to them from institutions, where every single individual is expected to be a financial entrepreneur of his or her own future, the idea that individuals are getting hit with much larger fees than larger agents should worry all of us for our financial futures. Making sure that informed traders at the largest institutions are negotiating the price to its optimal setting for all of us, instead of for their insider status, is the definition of how the price mechanism is supposed to work, and can work if fiduciaries are allowed to take these differentials into account."

But rather than being shown to all potential sellers at the same time, some of those orders were most likely routed to a collection of high-frequency traders for just 30 milliseconds — 0.03 seconds — in what are known as flash orders. While markets are supposed to ensure transparency by showing orders to everyone simultaneously, a loophole in regulations allows marketplaces like Nasdaq to show traders some orders ahead of everyone else in exchange for a fee."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["We use the term "bagholder" all the time, and it seems to me we've forgotten where that metaphor comes from. It didn't used to be considered acceptable to find some naive rube you could manipulate into holding the bag when the cops showed up, while the seasoned robbers scarpered. I'm really amazed by all these self-employed folks who keep popping up in our comments to defend stated income lending. It is a way for you to get a loan on terms that mean you potentially face prosecution if something goes wrong. Your enthusiasm for taking this risk is making a lot of marginal lenders happy, because you're helping them hide the true risk in their loan portfolios from auditors, examiners, and counterparties. You aren't getting those stated income loans because lenders like to do business with entrepreneurs, "the backbone of America."... You're getting stated income loans because you're willing to be the bagholder."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["While demurrage is a natural feature of private commodity money it has at various times been deliberately incorporated into currency systems as a disincentive against hoarding of money, as well as to achieve other perceived benefits. In particular, with regards to long term investment financing it has the effect of changing the dynamics of net present value (NPV) calculations. All else being equal, a currency system with demurrage places an increased emphasis on the value of long term returns on an investment. As such it may create an incentive to invest in initiatives which offer more in the way of longer-term returns."

I’ve been thinking of this lately, as our old friend urbino (who, alas, doesn’t come around here no more) has beaten almost every major pundit to the punch in arguing that if banks have grown too big to fail, then perhaps they ought to be stopped from supersizing themselves...."

At the time, the United States didn’t yet have a national Mint, so they outsourced currency production to James Jarvis of Connecticut, who had bribed the head of the Treasury board with $10,000 for the contract. Jarvis was supposed to produce 300 tons of pennies, but ultimately only produced four tons of slightly underweight coins. Furthermore, a congressional report stated that “Jarvis had received a large quantity of federal copper but had only paid for a small portion.” (Louis Jordan, University of Notre Dame)"

    <link>http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2009/01/myth-of-riskometer.html</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The myth of the riskometer is alive and kicking. In spite of a large body of empirical evidence identifying the difficulties in measuring financial risk, policymakers and financial institutions alike continue to promote risk sensitivity.
The reasons may have to do with the fact that risk sensitivity is intuitively attractive, and the counter arguments complex. The crisis, however, shows us the folly of the riskometer. Let us hope that decision makers will rely on other methods."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A logic question.  Which financial professionals would be more likely to be audited: bad ones or good ones?  Logically, I would say good ones – if you’re bad, you want to hide it – if you’re good, you want to prove it.  Now I’m not saying all audited professionals are good, or all unaudited professionals are bad, but on par I think it’s fair to say that audited professionals are better."

So perhaps it isn’t surprising that swings that normally would attract an enormous amount of attention have gone almost unnoticed. Like the near-total collapse of private capital flows."

If nothing the CEOs and top fund managers are doing makes them worthy of taking the blame when the crash hits, then they also don’t deserve nearly the share of the credit — and money — that they got while things were going up."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Best money quote for some time:

"There is something fitting and just in the timing of this. It is emblematic of America since Reagan and the Great Leveraging. Something for nothing. Thank you Mr Laffer. But as a philosophy and modus operandi it is quite literally, bankrupt and without merit. And Laffer has since been proven to be full of shit. Now, Americans will have to confront this, the premise that greed is good and self-guiding and somehow omnisciently beneficial for it has had repurcussions down to the core of our society and values. "Sorry everyone....what you've been pursuing has all been a lie, a big ponzi, a rat-hole to nowhere....". Re-boot."

This industry is rife with charlatans and snake oil salesmen, touting their successes and conveniently forgetting their failures. We want all of the strategy developers we grow through Timer Seeds to succeed the right way - on the back of strong audited track records. This improves the legitimacy of our industry which (a) makes us feel good because this is what we do for a living, and (b) encourages more investors to employ market timing.
 
There's also a profit-motive. We spend a lot of time working directly with our timers sharing our hard fought experience and we stake our reputations on their work. In exchange, as is customary in this industry, we receive a percentage of the compensation from any contracts we negotiate or introduce. This is a very transparent process and our timers always have the absolute final decision on any contracts involving their strategy."

This is actually not the case.
A research study conducted with data from LakeView Asset Management LLC, suggests that it is in fact futures that influences the activity of speculators and hedgers and therefore is the indicator for market volatility and manipulation, states Scott Rothbort for the Street.com."
