As a follow-up to my previous post, I found the graph below that I used ten years ago to illustrate how standard models struggled to capture what was going on after 2008. As for inflation today, models then predicted every year that the situation would improve, only to be disproved by reality. I was therefore very excited to read Olivier Blanchard’s 2014 piece “Where Danger Lurks”, in which he called for a rekindling of macroeconomic models. He wrote in particular “We in the field did think of the economy as roughly “linear”, constantly subject to different shocks, constantly fluctuating, but naturally returning to equilibrium over time. […] The problem is that we came to believe that this was indeed the way the world worked. […] The main lesson of the crisis is that we were much closer to “dark corners”—situations in which the economy could badly malfunction —than we thought.” The crucial sentence here of course is “naturally returning to equilibrium”. All these classical models can only predict that the system will return to equilibrium – there is nothing else it can do! This contrasts with more realistic frameworks (like Agent Based Models) where multiple equilibrium states can coexist, with tipping points separating them (probably what O. Blanchard calls “dark corners”, although only implicitly). Alas, when I met Olivier Blanchard a little later in his IMF office, he told me – somewhat dispirited – “well, the economy is now back on tracks, and the appetite for new economic thinking is already fading away. Macroeconomics will revert to business as usual”. The problem, in my view, lies in what Willem Buiter (ex. Bank of England) said in his own 2008 piece “The unfortunate uselessness of most 'state of the art' academic monetary economics”: “Research tends to be motivated by the internal logic, intellectual sunk capital and aesthetic puzzles of established researc

How technology and automation can help to improve Execution Quality in FXIn order to understand how to improve the execution quality in the forex market, we need to understand the dynamics of these markets, the microstructure, how matching engines of ECNs works, the limit order book (LOB) dynamics and the behavior of every player in the market (takers vs makers vs liquidity providers).Once you understand how all this infrastructure works and its dynamics, then you can think about how to implement your technology accordingly.Basically, execution quality refers to how well orders are executed at the desired price without any slippages or other problems. This means that your order should be executed at the top of the book, or better.The root of best execution lies in creating a robust framework under which to conduct execution. One must measure that execution against the execution framework and improve it where possible.The better the execution quality, the lower the trading cost.#trading #markets #technology #fintech #banks #hedgefunds #algotrading #riskmanagement #forex #efx #hft #forexmarket #liquidity UBS Credit Suisse Deutsche Bank

The promise of speedy computers has seduced VC firms and national governments into pouring billions of dollars into building the first generation of working quantum computers. However, while research has been going on since the early 1980s, progress toward actually building a working prototype remains slow, and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. There are also a growing number of industry observers who fear that investors do not understand this salient fact. “I’m as pro-quantum computing as one can be,” wrote one quantum academic. “But I’m disturbed by some of the quantum computing #hype I see these days, particularly when it comes to claims about how it will be commercialised.” So is a physicist at Oxford #University, who argues that an investment bubble is beginning to form in the quantum computing sector – one that could soon burst amid rising interest rates and a general shift among venture capitalists toward investing in projects with much shorter paths to profitability. “I think the #quantum computing industry, along with #tech as a whole to some extent, will undergo a serious correction over the next few years.” “In last 14 years, we have seen an extraordinarily loose monetary policy, which has made venture capital firms and other investors awash with capital and eager to invest into all kinds of enterprises, from the highly prospective and disruptive, such as Uber, to more uncertain and speculative, like quantum computing.” These investments are made with the hope that these firms will return a profit over a timescale of several years. That’s hard to imagine, explained one scientist Financial Times article, when #quantumcomputers are ‘so error-prone that any information one tries to process with them will almost instantly degenerate into noise.’ What’s more, while devices approaching the size of your common variety classical computer do exist,

Ask yourself 3 questions before you hire a data scientist:1. Is the data available and accessible?2. Will they be able to measure the ROI of their work?3. Will they be able to get their outputs into production?If the answer to any of these is no, then you might want to do more preparation.P.S. I think there are better ways to phrase the above questions (or there's just better questions) but I struggled to think of them .

The largest pay gap isn't gender, disability or mental illness. It is #autism. Earlier this year former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison caused a ruckus when asked a funding question by a woman with an autistic son. He responded: "Jenny and I have been blessed, we've got two children that don't - that haven't had to go through that." It was an awkward attempt at empathy, off the cuff, which we don't question. But it seems companies are also "blessed" not to have to suffer autistic people, at least for fair pay. In the U.K., the Office of National Statistics reports a pay gap of 33.5%, about triple the gap for disabled men or women. As a story by Allie Nawrat in Unleash (https://lnkd.in/eMyx_VXn) points out, this is rather disappointing given the research on benefits to business of cognitive diversity (e.g. HBR: https://lnkd.in/erH8KwGY). If I asked you to speculate on that pay gap, you might list things you think those on the spectrum do "to themselves", or fail to do, that inhibit their progression up the corporate ladder. Perhaps failure to make eye contact; tendency towards unfiltered remarks; failure to read people; or (have you considered?) additional energy spent filtering background noise. But what you might not see is the flip side of that coin: that neurotypical people are less willing to interact with autistic peers, and that this judgement occurs in seconds (see https://lnkd.in/eZG7wChA). The UK government will monitor the autism pay gap going forward (https://lnkd.in/e7gQWyuD) but if the research is representative, it's surely a hard, hard fix. Keep this in mind reading well-meaning posts on the importance of hiring "well rounded" employees with all the right "soft skills". Those skills can be real, but I wish I had a dollar for every post offering advice along the lines of "math isn't important, coding isn't important, only Y is" ... where Y is "

Hmmm, I am not completely convinced by this article .. Of course, like other technologies, AI could conceivably be a factor in existential disaster, (eg. Unanticipated military escalations due to autonomous weapon engagements), but as AI has no agency, it has no teleology; any such disaster will be the result of accident (or malicious, human design), rather than putative AI ‘Terminators’ seeking to wipe out humanity ..

New research paper on optimal allocation to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for diversified portfolios: I apply four quantitative methods for optimal allocation to Bitcoin cryptocurrency within alternative and balanced portfolios based on metrics of portfolio diversification, expected risk-returns, and skewness of returns distribution.Using roll-forward historical simulations, I find that the median of optimisers’ average weights is 2.3% and 4.8% for 100% alternatives and for 75%/25% balanced/alternatives portfolios, respectively.I conclude that Bitcoin may provide positive marginal contribution to risk-adjusted performances of optimal portfolios.I emphasize the diversification benefits of cryptocurrencies as an asset class within broad risk-managed portfolios with systematic re-balancing.#bitcoin #cryptocurrency #assetallocation

Congratulations to Álvaro Cartea, Patrick Chang, Jose Penalva, and Harrison Waldon for their latest paper titled: “The Algorithmic Learning Equations: Evolving Strategies in Dynamics Games”.Highlights:• They introduce the algorithmic learning equations to characterise finite-time and asymptotic behaviour of the stochastic interaction between state-dependent learning algorithms.• They use the equations to prove that when algorithms and signals are of a particular type, play converges to a Nash equilibrium.• They extend the result to show that play converges to a correlated equilibrium for a broader class of algorithms and signal structures.• They show that algorithms can learn a reward-punishment mechanism to sustain tacit collusion.Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/eSjtfEG7 #reinforcementlearning #tacitcollusion

Peter Cotton .PdfThe creator of Micropredictions. The Prometheus of forecasting. Reminds me how much I don't know. His hot takes are too clever for the plebs. I love it.His takedown of Facebook Prophet is legendary. Reminds me of the raptor in Jurassic Park. "Clever girl..."Oh yeah - he wrote a book you should buy on open prediction networks.2. Yann LeCunOne of the creators of the convolutional net and Chief AI Scientist at Meta. At least half his content blows my mind. One of the best at framing problems on the frontiers of machine learning.Reminds me that deep learning isn't just blind empiricism and expensive compute.The best researchers are philosophers first and ask the right questions.3. Cassie KozyrkovIn 8 months of posting, I've found that, the most judgmental and arrogant people in data science come from the statistics/math side. I've seen this on my own content and others - so much so that it discourages me from posting more technical things (should I post them anyway??).Cassie is a notable exception to this trend and a breath of fresh air. She makes data science and statistics feel approachable without shying away from complexity - including on the business/leadership side. Her content is the broadest on this list. She touches on all aspects of data science - statistics, experimentation, building a program, etc. She talks about both intro topics (e.g., samples vs. populations) and complex topics.And she does it without making you feel like an idiot.4.

Celebrating 10 million downloads of Facebook Prophet! By the time this reaches your feed, PePy will be reporting that #facebook's #prophet package will have been downloaded an astonishing 10,000,000 times (https://lnkd.in/grs6cyiV). I don't remember the author's exact words when responding to my critique of the package, but it was along the lines of "this post rips prophet to shreds and I agree with all of it". It is also true that nobody has been able to build anything resembling a remotely convincing case for Prophet's efficacy. But you can't deny the success based on user adoption. This paradox requires an explanation, and if that means pushing back on my observations, that's fine by me. (I also think it was an original contribution, with many interesting generalizations). What explains the popularity? #timeseries #timeseriesanalysis #forecasting #opensource

With what they said was minimal algorithmic tuning, they can get to 64% accuracy for predicting the direction of the next trade over the next five seconds.#hft #trading #risk #highperformancecomputing #highfrequency #lowlatency #finance #capitalmarkets

Peter Cotton .Pdf has noted the strange phenomenon, despite the untimely death of the worst forecasting package of the XXIst century Facebook prophet (aka false positive aka failed prophet) the lemmings are still in force downloading this forecasting zombie to .fit .predict(ing) [read curve fit] the noise and produce nonsensical purely performing forecasts. One can safely bet most of the Facebook prophet users are also using MAPE as their main metric. Meanwhile this is of course of little consolation to the Facebook prophet darling #Zillow whose share price will probably never recover from its pre-crisis collapse caused to a degree by highly paid Colorado based 'data scientists' who thought they could trade houses using Facebook prophet and similar forecasting models. What more evidence do we need that many data scientists working in forecasting do not seem to produce any business value if the literal weapon of business value destruction is still being downloaded and used like there is no tomorrow.#business #timeseries #forecasting #Zillow #datascientists

From the Twitterverse: Recent results by DeepMind show that the OpenAI 2020 scaling results for massive LLMs were wrong. OpenAI argued that there was a sweet spot for parameter tuning for each data set. Turns out, the real story is, that whoever gets the largest high-quality text dataset -- wins.Why did OpenAI make this error? In the original 2020 paper, OpenAI used a fixed learning rate schedule on all models. DeepMind found that the LR schedule should scale with the dataset size.(OpenAI should have used weightwatcher)Read more about this here:https://lnkd.in/ghnHsQmc

Ciné-Money ! Ou l'argent au cinéma.C’est un parti pris méthodologique que j’ai adopté dans mes cours et conférences : passer par le cinéma pour accéder directement au sens des choses et aider ainsi les étudiants ou le grand public à "voir" par l’image ce qui sera ensuite explicité par la réflexion. Cette méthodologie est à l’origine du cycle de projections sur "Cinéma et argent" au théâtre de la Reine Blanche : "Ciné-Money".https://lnkd.in/ezus3takLe cinéma peut nous dire quelque chose sur l’argent, et nous le dire autrement que les innombrables romans ou livres qui traitent déjà de ce thème, ou encore les savants travaux de la philosophie de l’argent, sans parler des discours sans fin des religions ou des morales laïques.Le cycle de projections « Ciné-Money » ne cherche pas à illustrer des théories économiques ou morales sur l’argent suivant un procédé qui ferait un usage scolaire et ennuyeux du cinéma dans le genre « Platon c’est ennuyeux mais avec le cinéma c’est mieux ». « Ciné-Money » propose au spectateur de se laisser toucher par les images des films pour s’y retrouver et se retourner sur soi. La projection est suivie d'un débat sur le film à partir des émotions qu’il a suscité, en faisant appel aux compétences morales de tous.La prochaine projection a lieu le dimanche 18 septembre à 18h30 (lien ci-dessous). #argent #money #film #ethique #durable Bouchaud Elisabeth jean-philippe bouchaud Bertrand Badré Fabienne Alamelou Michaille Nicolas Bordas Floriane Z.

When Max Weber was criticized by a colleague for publishing outside of his own discipline, he told him "I am not a donkey, and I don't have a field.” Today, free-ranging intellectuals are almost extinct. Transdisciplinary thinking has become a career risk. Scientists are supposed to stay in their field like donkeys. However, the big problems of the world are transdisciplinary. Donkeys won't solve them.

I usually don't get teary eyed about losing a leader, but today is a day I've been dreading for a long time and here's why: Losing Queen Elizabeth II isn't just like losing the mother of the Commonwealth, it's the loss of human connection with a bygone era where nobility, restraint, integrity, and humility mattered more than wealth, power, and ego. My grandfather used to describe a time when people from all economic backgrounds had respect for each other and there was a genuine kinsmanship among each other - you could approach a stranger and have an honest conversation (provided it started with the weather), you could respect others' differing opinions provided they were composed and mild mannered. Granted it wasn't all roses, but you could have a conversation with your neighbors.To vilify the late Queen of England as a symbol of colonialism is to unfairly pin on her personally an era, prior to her reign, orthogonal to her beliefs and virtues, and to ignore how she led the country with a steady and gentle hand. How would you like it if you were judged only by what your ancestors did? The point is, that she, as a decent and selfless human being did what was right for her nation, brought stability in an ever fracturing world full of hot-headed and intolerant leaders pursuing their divisive and siloed agendas - she was none of these. She brought harmony. Whatever your misgivings about the history of Britain, the Royal Family - I think we can all agree that the world is a better place when it is run by sanguine and balanced people whose character is defined by their unwavering commitment to sound judgement and compassionate actions, and not how much buzz they create on social media. The harm caused by colonialism can never be undone, but this is a day about the world rising above its own personal grievances, mourning someone that served a remarkable reign and was a ro

I'm vying for "most obscure tribute to reginal worldliness" to mark the passing of my head of state. Long live the King? The position could have been from a legal game, though it isn’t. White’s best choice is unambiguous. A hint follows. Comments contain spoilers. The right way to approach this problem is to consider the life of the White Queen in its entirety; not be bound by tradition; and not merely assume that on account of an accident that a woman has taken the place of a man. Thanks Joshua Henderson for recovering this. #chess #puzzle
