Local and Global Balance in Financial Correlation Networks: an Application to Investment Decisions

The global balance is a well-known indicator of the behavior of a signed network. Recent literature has introduced the concept of local balance as a measure of the contribution of a single node to the overall balance of the network. In the present research, we investigate the potential of using devi

Global Balance and Systemic Risk in Financial Correlation Networks

The global balance index is used in the network literature to quantify how balanced a signed network is. In this paper we show that the global balance index of financial correlation networks can be used as a systemic risk measure. We define the global balance index of a network starting from a diffu

Measuring the risk or reducing it, that is the question: is risk measurement necessary for risk reduction?

In this research, starting from a widely accepted definition of risk, we support the idea that risk reduction is a more realistic objective than risk minimization, which represents a theoretical utopia. Furthermore, significant risk reduction can be achieved without relying on risk measurement and r

Some general results on risk budgeting portfolios

Given a reference risk measure, the risk budgeting is the portfolio where each asset contributes a predetermined amount to the total risk. We propose a novel approach, alternative to the ones proposed in the literature, for the calculation of the risk budgeting portfolio. This different perspective
