This study proposes an analysis of the main drawbacks emerged when adopting the traditional short rate dynamics under extreme market conditions such as under negative interest rates. In fact, this condition has led to invalidate the use of the majority of the most popular stochastic differential equations (SDE) reported in the scientific literature. The first part of the paper makes an overall introduction to the problem, analyzing it from different perspectives. Given that the author dealt with these topics in previous research items, the objective of the paper is to focus on only one of these aspects which was not scrutinized before and to examine it in full detail. As a result, the most popular stochastic dynamics are shown in the second part and the problems raised by their numerical integration are then discussed. Starting from the equations for which it is feasible to implement a numerical scheme for their solution, the problem thus becomes how to find a reasonable estimation for the SDE parameters. The third section deals with the problems occurred in the application of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) caused by the negative interest rates during the implementation of the well-established approaches. For every analyzed dynamics a real market case is provided. The paper highlights the appropriateness of the Hull-White model which can be considered a feasible and reliable solution for simulating short rates also under extreme market conditions.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential costs deriving from the adoption of the CoViD-19 epidemic management strategy. For this purpose, we developed a specific methodology that combines an epidemiological model, known in the literature as "SIR" (Susceptible - Infected - Recovered), and a probabilistic state model, also known as "multi-state". The model thus conceived was then parameterized using the dataset published by the Italian Government through the Civil Protection and the Istituto Superiore di Sanita. We therefore estimated the duration of the disease and the related costs, with reference to the strategy currently under discussion between government institutions and social organizations involved. Given the flexibility of the adopted approach, the tool will also be able to provide useful indications in relation to any alternative strategies that the Government could adopt in the near future, as well as being the starting point of an analysis of the epidemic indirect costs such as losses of GDP fractions.

Fintech, Distristributed Ledgers Tecnology (DLT), blockchain, machine learning, algorithmic trading and High Frequency Trading (HFT), are among the most disruptive digital innovations that are transforming the structure of any industrial sector, including the financial industry. Together with the positive spillovers of the introduction of these new technologies (i.e. reducing transaction costs, reducing operating costs, improving speed and security of the transactions, ...), we should be aware of the potential new risks that may involve the financial system, whose activity is guaranteed by the trust of the operators.

Towards the Reform of the European Financial Supervisory Authorities on Intermediaries and Financial Markets: some Notes for a Discussion. The dynamics that are blurring the borders between old and new financial intermediation practices, partly induced by fintech, call for a significant move to enhance a light regulation, supported by a proactive risk based supervision. That implies an update of the European and National Competent Authorities’ architectures to serve the tasks they are committed to, by effectively implementing market conduct and prudential supervision across processes, activities and platforms. The paper concludes with some drill-down on the steps that could be appropriate to re-address the hybrid Italian twin-peaks for a more coherent set-up. 1. Le lezioni della crisi La segnalazione di carenze regolamentari e di vigilanza, a valle dell’irrompere della crisi finanziaria, ha portato le istituzioni europee a sottolineare con insistenza, nel corso degli ultimi dieci anni, l’importanza che gli interventi riparatori su questi due fronti fossero finalizzati a: (1) prevenire crisi sistemiche, (2) garantire l’integrità e l’ordinato funzionamento dei mercati finanziari, (3) rafforzare le tutele per gli investitori, in particolare di quelli retail. Le strade percorse per tradurre in prassi queste finalità (overarching principles) si sono dispiegate lungo due direttrici: il ridisegno del sistema delle Autorità europee, accompagnato da un pervasivo sforzo di revisione e completamento del quadro normativo e regolamentare ad integrazione del “single rule book”. In risposta alle emergenze poste dall’irrompere della crisi finanziaria, la Commissione Europea ha finalizzato le raccomandazioni del High Level Group presieduto da Jaques de Lerosière, avviando un percorso che ha portato alla istituzione nel 2010 dell’European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), a cui sono stati affidati i presidi macroprudenziali necessari per prevenire/mitigare il rischio sistemico. A completamento del European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS), nel gennaio del 2011 vengono istituite tre Autorità di settore EBA, EIOPA ed ESMA (rispettivamente per banche, assicurazioni e fondi pensione, strumenti finanziari e mercati) per i profili microprudenziali 2 .

Al fine di valorizzare opzioni su valuta si ricorre tendenzialmente al framework di pricing di Garman – Kohlhagen, che costituisce un’estensione di quello tradizionale di Black-Scholes-Merton. Tali modelli di valutazione hanno in comune la definizione di un’equazione alle derivate parziali rappresentativa, sotto alcune ipotesi, della possibile evoluzione futura del valore del derivato, nota come PDE fondamentale. La specifica del tipo di opzione avviene mediante la definizione delle condizioni iniziali (IC – Initial Conditions) e delle condizioni al contorno di Dirichlet del problema (BC – Boundary Conditions), che dipendono strettamente dal pay-off dell’opzione. Qualora questo sia semplice la PDE ammette una soluzione in forma chiusa, altrimenti è necessario ricorrere ad una metodologia numerica di pricing. La discretizzazione avviene tipicamente impiegando i metodi delle differenze finite (FDM – Finite Difference Method) o degli elementi finiti (FEM – Finite Elements Method). Negli ultimi anni l’ingegneria finanziaria si sta concentrando su una metodologia innovativa per la valorizzazione di opzioni, che pone i suoi fondamenti teorici sulle funzioni a base radiale (RBF – Radial Basis Functions). Il fine del presente studio è quello di presentare i principi di funzionamento di tale tecnica e di fornire, dopo aver condotto un’accurata validazione del codice, un esempio di applicazione nella valutazione di un’opzione esotica digitale scritta su valuta. Garman – Kohlhagen framework, which is an extension of the most popular Black-Scholes-Merton model, is often used by financial institutions in order to price options with a currency as underlying. These pricing techniques have in common the definition of a partial differential equation used for the definition of the future value of the derivative, called Fundamental PDE. The financial instruments characterization depends on the derivative pay-off and it is realized through the specification of the initial conditions (IC) and the Dirichlet’s boundary conditions (BC). For standard contracts, called plain-vanilla derivatives, and for a few class of non-standard instruments, called exotic derivatives, this problem can be solved analytically reaching a theoretical fair value through a closed formula (CF) valuation, otherwise a numerical method must be used. Classical numerical integration schemes, which have been implemented for this purpose, are Finite Difference Method (FDM) and Finite Elements Method (FEM). In the last ten years, financial engineering has focused on an innovative methodology for option pricing which has its foundations on Radial Basis Functions (RBF). This paper aims to examine how this technique works in the financial field and how this method can be applied to the fair-value determination of vanilla and exotic Forex options.
