  • Iterated Importance Sampling in Missing Data Problems
    Iterated importance sampling in missing data problems Gilles Celeux INRIA, FUTURS, Orsay, France Jean-Michel Marin ∗ INRIA, FUTURS, Orsay, France and CEREMADE, University Paris Dauphine, Paris, France Christian P. Robert CEREMADE, University Paris Dauphine and CREST, INSEE, Paris, France Abstract Missing variable models are typical benchmarks for new computational techniques in that the ill-posed nature of missing variable models offer a challenging testing ground for these techniques. This was the case for the EM algorithm and the Gibbs sampler, and this is also true for importance sampling schemes. A population Monte Carlo scheme taking advantage of the latent structure of the problem is proposed. The potential of this approach and its specifics in missing data problems are illustrated in settings of increasing difficulty, in comparison with existing approaches. The improvement brought by a general Rao–Blackwellisation technique is also discussed. Key words: Adaptive algorithms, Bayesian inference, latent variable models, population Monte Carlo, Rao–Blackwellisation, stochastic volatility model ∗ Corresponding author: CEREMADE, Place du Mar´echal De Lattre de Tassigny, 75775 Paris Cedex 16, France, marin@ceremade.dauphine.fr Preprint submitted to Computational Statistics and Data Analysis 25 July 2005 1 Introduction 1.1 Missing data models Missing data models, that is, structures such that the distribution of the data y can be represented via a marginal density Z f(y|θ) = g(y, z|θ)dz , Z where z ∈ Z denotes the so-called ”missing data”, have often been at the forefront of computational Statistics, both as a challenge to existing techniques and as a benchmark for incoming techniques. This is for instance the case with the EM algorithm (Dempster et al., 1977), which was purposely designed for missing data problems although it has since then been applied in a much wider setting.

  • Testing Adverse Selection and Moral Hazard on French Car Insurance Data
    TESTING ADVERSE SELECTION AND MORAL HAZARD ON FRENCH CAR INSURANCE DATA Guillaume CARLIER1 Université Paris Dauphine Michel GRUN-REHOMME2 Université Paris Panthéon Olga VASYECHKO3 Université Nationale d'Economie de Kyiv This paper is a modest contribution to the stream of research devoted to find empirical evidence of asymmetric information. Building upon Chiappori and Salanié's (2000) work, we propose two specific tests, one for adverse selection and one for moral hazard. We implement these tests on French car insurance data, circumventing the lack of dynamic data in our data base by a proxy of claim history. The first test suggests presence of adverse selection whereas the second one seems to contradict presence of pure moral hazard. Keywords: empirical evidence of moral hazard, adverse selection, car insurance.

CARLIER – M. GRUN-REHOMME – O. VASYECHKO 1. INTRODUCTION There has been an intensive line of research in the last decades devoted to find empirical evidence of asymmetric information on insurance data. Under adverse selection, the insured has some private information about his type of risk, which the insurer cannot observe before the subscription of an insurance contract. The adverse selection assumption stipulates that the high-risks tend to choose more coverage than the low-risks (Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976), Wilson (1977), Spence (1978)).

  • Mckean–Vlasov Optimal Control: the Dynamic Programming Principle
    McKean–Vlasov optimal control: the dynamic programming principle∗ Mao Fabrice Djete† Dylan Possamaï ‡ Xiaolu Tan§ March 25, 2020 Abstract We study the McKean–Vlasov optimal control problem with common noise in various formulations, namely the strong and weak formulation, as well as the Markovian and non–Markovian formulations, and allowing for the law of the control process to appear in the state dynamics. By interpreting the controls as probability measures on an appropriate canonical space with two filtrations, we then develop the classical measurable selection, conditioning and concatenation arguments in this new context, and establish the dynamic programming principle under general conditions. 1 Introduction We propose in this paper to study the problem of optimal control of mean–field stochastic differential equations, also called Mckean–Vlasov stochastic differential equations in the literature. This problem is a stochastic control problem where the state process is governed by a stochastic differential equation (SDE for short), which has coefficients depending on the current time, the paths of the state process, but also its distribution (or conditional distribution in the case with common noise). Similarly, the reward functionals are allowed to be impacted by the distribution of the state process. The pioneering work on McKean–Vlasov equations is due to McKean [60] and Kac [49], who were interested in studying uncontrolled SDEs, and in establishing general propagation of chaos results. Let us also mention the illuminating notes of Snitzman [75], which give a precise and pedagogical insight into this specific equation. Though many authors have worked on this equation following these initial papers, there has been a drastic surge of interest in the topic in the past decade, due to the connection that it shares with the so–called mean–field game (MFG for short) theory, introduced independently and simultaneously on the one hand by Lasry and Lions in [53; 54; 55] and on the other hand by Huang, Caines, and Malhamé [44; 45; 46; 47; 48].

  • Time Averages for Kinetic Fokker-Planck Equations
    Time averages for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations Giovanni M. Brigatia,b,1 aCEREMADE, CNRS, UMR 7534, Universit´eParis-Dauphine, PSL University, Place du Marechal de Lattre de Tassigny, 75016 Paris, France bDipartimento di Matematica “F. Casorati”, Universit`adegli Studi di Pavia, Via Ferrata 5, 27100 Pavia, Italia Abstract We consider kinetic Fokker-Planck (or Vlasov-Fokker-Planck) equations on the torus with Maxwellian or fat tail local equilibria. Results based on weak norms have recently been achieved by S. Armstrong and J.-C. Mourrat in case of Maxwellian local equilibria. Using adapted Poincar´eand Lions-type inequali- ties, we develop an explicit and constructive method for estimating the decay rate of time averages of norms of the solutions, which covers various regimes corresponding to subexponential, exponential and superexponential (including Maxwellian) local equilibria. As a consequence, we also derive hypocoercivity estimates, which are compared to similar results obtained by other techniques.

    The obstacle version of the Geometric Dynamic Programming Principle : Application to the pricing of American options under constraints Bruno Bouchard Thanh Nam Vu CEREMADE, Universit´eParis Dauphine CEREMADE, Universit´eParis Dauphine and CREST-ENSAE thanh@ceremade.dauphine.fr bouchard@ceremade.dauphine.fr First version : November 2008. This version : June 2009 Abstract We provide an obstacle version of the Geometric Dynamic Programming Principle of Soner and Touzi [23] for stochastic target problems. This opens the doors to a wide range of applications, particularly in risk control in finance and insurance, in which a controlled stochastic process has to be maintained in a given set on a time interval [0;T ]. As an example of application, we show how it can be used to provide a viscosity characterization of the super-heging cost of American options under portfolio constraints, without appealing to the standard dual formulation from mathematical finance. In particular, we allow for a degenerate volatility, a case which does not seem to have been studied so far in this context. Key words: Stochastic target problem, discontinuous viscosity solutions, American options. AMS 1991 subject classifications: Primary 49L25, 60J60; secondary 49L20, 35K55. 1 Introduction A stochastic target problem can be described as follows.

  • Richard H. Day
    RICHARD H. DAY Richard H. Day is Professor of Economics, Emeritus of the University of Southern California. He studied General Science at Iowa State University and, as an Honor Scholar, received the Bachelor of Science in June 1955. He attended Harvard University 1955-1958, received the Ph.D. degree in Economics in June 1961. His dissertation, published by North-Holland in 1963,, presented a class of "recursive programming" models for explaining production, investment and technological change in agriculture and industrial sectors. This work, originally sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was the prototype for a U.S. National Model in the 1960s and for a variety of similar studies in a number of countries. His work at this time also included the derivation of sufficient conditions for aggregation in production models, estimates of the distribution of field crop yields, and an analysis of the effect of technological change on the migration from rural to urban centers. During the period 1959–1962, Day served in the U.S.A.F. as a mathematician and systems analyst and subsequently spent a brief stint as a consultant to Richard Reuter who was then Director of the Food for Peace Program and Special Assistant to President Kennedy. After joining the University of Wisconsin in 1963, with the support of the National Science Foundation, conducted recursive programming studies of the U.S. Coal, Steel and Petroleum Industries and of agricultural development in India. This work showed how structural change can be explained in economic terms and how it can completely transform a region or industry in less than a generation.

  • Optimal Insurance for a Minimal Expected Retention: the Case of an Ambiguity-Seeking Insurer

When the insurer has ambiguous beliefs represented by a non-additive probability measure, as in Schmeidler, this equivalence no longer holds. Recently, Amarante, Ghossoub and Phelps examined the problem of optimal insurance design with a premium constraint when the insurer has ambiguous beliefs. In particular, they showed that when the insurer is ambiguity-seeking, with a concave distortion of the insured’s probability measure, then the optimal indemnity schedule is a state-contingent deductible schedule, in which the deductible depends on the state of the world only through the insurer’s distortion function. In this paper, we examine the problem of optimal insurance design with a minimum expected retention constraint, in the case where the insurer is ambiguity-seeking. We obtain the aforementioned result of Amarante, Ghossoub and Phelps and the classical result of Arrow as special cases. Keywords: optimal insurance; deductible; minimum retention; ambiguity; Choquet integral; probability distortion JEL: G22 1.
