A Sinusoidal Hull-White Model for Interest Rate Dynamics: Capturing Long-Term Periodicity in U.S. Treasury Yields

This study is motivated by empirical observations of periodic fluctuations in interest rates, notably long-term economic cycles spanning decades, which the conventional Hull-White short-rate model fails to adequately capture. To address this limitation, we propose an extension that incorporates a si

A Stochastic Thermodynamics Approach to Price Impact and Round-Trip Arbitrage: Theory and Empirical Implications

This paper develops a comprehensive theoretical framework that imports concepts from stochastic thermodynamics to model price impact and characterize the feasibility of round-trip arbitrage in financial markets. A trading cycle is treated as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic process, where price impac
