[Friam mailing list]

Reminder for SFI Public Lecture Wed July 23. Anyone interested in dinner
afterwards? We have Maria's "conference room" reserved for 8:45p but the
talk may go to 9:30p...we're scouting alternatives...

TITLE: Mortgages and Mathematics

John Geanakoplos, James Tobin Professor of Economics, Yale University

sponsored by Complexica

ABSTRACT:
The $8 trillion American mortgage market is the second largest in the world,
after the stock market.  It is also the most mathematically complex.
Geanakoplos shall summarize the history of the mortgage market, including
the creation of mortgage derivatives, the patterns of homeowner prepayments,
the role of mortgage hedge funds, the models used by hedge funds to predict
homeowner behavior, the hedging of mortgage derivatives, and the reasons why
there are periodic crashes in the mortgage market.

I talked to John. He's only planning to talk for an hour not two hours as
listed at <http://www.santafe.edu/sfi/events/thisWeek.html>.

So we can stay with the Maria conference room reservation at 8:45 for anyone
interested...

See you at Safari,

S
