2 Introduction Preference Order Let X be a non-empty set, and assume that at each time t {0, 1,..., T } we have a total preorder t on X, that admits a numerical representation ϕ t X [, ], i.e. x t y ϕ t (x) ϕ t (y), x, y X. Main Question: If the decisions are made through time using the preorder t or its numerical representation ϕ t, t = 0, 1, 2,..., T, how to insure that the decisions are made consistently in time? A total preorder is a binary relation on X such that 1 (reflexive) x x, for any x X ; 2 (transitive) if x y and y z, then x z; 3 (total) for any x, y X, x y or y x, Ig.

3 Introduction Preference Order through time The progressive assessment of preferences should be an integral part of the decision making process. The assessment of preferences should be done in such a way that the future preferences are assessed consistently with the present ones. Main Goal: To develop a unified theory for studying time consistency for dynamic risk and dynamic performance measures. We will take a top-down approach and define time consistency for functions ϕ that are only local and monotone. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 3

6 Literature review Before the theory of risk measures: Koopmans [Koo60] - Stationary ordinal utility and impatience Kreps and Porteus [KP78] - Temporal resolution of uncertainty and dynamic choice theory Duffie and Epstein [DE92] - Stochastic differential utility Sarin and Wakker [SW98] - dynamic consistency for non-expected utilities in a decision theoretic framework There exists a significant literature on dynamic risk and performance measures, with time consistency axiom playing a crucial role. The dynamic consistency axiom turns out to be the heart of the matter. A. Jobert and L. C. G. Rogers Valuations and dynamic convex risk measures, Math Fin 18(1), 2008, Ig.

8 Notations Case of Random Variables: X = L p (F T ) X L p (F T ) is interpreted as terminal payoff, or portfolio s value at T. In this talk, we focus on this case. Throughout we will assume zero interest rates. Case of Stochastic Processes was studied too. X = V p = {(V t ) t T V t L p t }. V V p is interpreted as a cash flow with dividend payments V t at t T.

9 Dynamic LM-measure Preference orders on X Dynamic LM-measures approach Definition A dynamic LM-measures is a family {ϕ t } t T of maps ϕ t X L 0 t, such that, for any t T, ϕ t is Local: 1 A ϕ t (X) = 1 A ϕ t (1 A X), for any X X, A F t Monotone: X Y ϕ t (X) ϕ t (Y ), for any X, Y X. Two minimal properties, with clear financial interpretation, to define a preference order X. Locality is also known as regularity, zero-one law, or relevance property. With some additional properties, an LM-measure becomes a monetary utility measure, or a risk measure, or a performance measure, or assessment index, etc. Ig.

10 Examples of LM measures Conditional essential infimum ϕ t (X) = ess inf t X; Dynamic LM-measure ϕ t (X) = E[X F t ]; Value At Risk ϕ t (X) = V@R α (X F t ) = ess sup{s L 0 (G ) P (X < s G ) α}; Average Value at Risk ϕ t (X) = α 0 V@R β(x F t )dβ; Gain to Loss Ratio E[X Ft] ϕ t (X) = E[X F, if E[X F t] t] > 0 and zero otherwise. Sortino Ratio ϕ t (X) = E[X F t] E[(X ) 2 F t] ; Any dynamic risk measure; any dynamic assessment index. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 9
11 Approaches to Time Consistency Existing approaches to time consistency Generic approach: families of benchmark sets Tutsch [Tut08]. It is implied by the proposed methodology, but not equivalent. Idiosyncratic approaches: define time consistency in terms of objects specific to a certain class of measures Conditional acceptance sets Dynamic of the minimal penalty functions Cocycle condition g-expectation Recursive construction rectangular property, prudence, etc All these approaches are particular cases of the proposed method; see the survey [BCP16] Ig.

12 Update Rules Update Rules Approach to Time Consistency Definition A family µ = {µ t,s t, s T, t < s} of maps µ t,s L 0 s L 0 t is called an update rule if µ satisfies the following conditions: 1) (Local) 1 A µ t,s (m) = 1 A µ t,s (1 A m); 2) (Monotone) if m m, then µ t,s (m) µ t,s (m ); for any s > t, A F t and m, m L 0 s. An update rule is meant to relate the assessment level of preferences between different times. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 11
13 Update Rules Examples Definition The update rule µ is called Example s-invariant if µ t,s (m) = µ t (m), for s t, m L 0 s. projective if it is s-invariant and µ t (m t ) = m t, for t T, m t L 0 t. The families µ 1 = {µ 1 t } t T and µ 2 = {µ 2 t } t T given by µ 1 t (m) = E[m F t ], and µ 2 t (m) = ess inf t m, m L 0, are projective update rules. For a fixed ε (0, 1), consider the update rule (not s-invariant) µ 3 t,s(m, X) = { εs t E[m F t ], on {E[m F t ] 0}, ε t s E[m F t ], on {E[m F t ] < 0}.. Ig.

14 Update Rules Examples Definition Dynamic LM-measure ϕ is µ-acceptance time consistent if ϕ s (X) m s ϕ t (X) µ t,s (m s ), for all s > t, s, t T, X X, and m s L 0 s. Similarly, ϕ is µ-rejection time consistent if ϕ s (X) m s ϕ t (X) µ t,s (m s ), for all s > t, s, t T, X X, and m s L 0 s. In this talk we focus on acceptance time consistency. ϕ t (X) t µ t,s (m s) F t ϕ s(x) s m s F s X T Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 13
15 Update Rules Examples An analog of Dynamic Programming Principle Proposition The LM-measure ϕ is µ-acceptance time consistent if and only if ϕ t (X) µ t,s (ϕ s (X)), for any X X and s > t. Proof. ( ) Take in the definition of acceptance time consistency m s = ϕ s (X). ( ) Let m s L 0 s be such that ϕ s (X) m s. By monotonicity of µ, ϕ t (X) µ t,s (ϕ s (X)) µ t,s (m s ). Ig.

16 Update Rules Strong Time Consistency Strong Time Consistency Definition A dynamic LM-measure ϕ is strongly time consistent if there exist an update rule µ such that ϕ is both µ-acceptance and µ-rejection time consistent. Proposition The following statements are equivalent: 1) ϕ is strongly time consistent. 2) There exists an update rule µ such that µ t,s (ϕ s (X)) = ϕ t (X), X L p T, s > t. 3) There exists a one-step update rule µ such that µ t,t+1 (ϕ t+1 (X)) = ϕ t (X), X L p, t < T. 4) For any X, Y L p and s > t, ϕ s (X) = ϕ s (Y ) ϕ t (X) = ϕ t (Y ). Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 15
17 Update Rules Strong Time Consistency Strong time consistency is one of the most popular forms of time consistency. Suitable, and traditionally used, for dynamic convex risk measures. A dynamic monetary utility measure is an LM-measure that is also normalized ϕ t (0) = 0, and cash-additive ϕ t (X + m t ) = ϕ t (X) + m, m L p t. A monetary risk measure is the negative of a monetary utility measure. A dynamic monetary utility measure ϕ is representable, if where α min t ϕ t (X) = ess inf (E Q[X F t ] + αt min (Q)), X X, Q P is a minimal penalty function. This type of representation is called robust or numerical representations. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 16
18 Update Rules Strong Time Consistency Proposition Let ϕ be a representable dynamic monetary utility measure on L. The following properties are equivalent: 1) ϕ is strongly time consistent. 2) ϕ is recursive, i.e. for any X L p, s, t T, s > t, ϕ t (X) = ϕ t (ϕ s (X)). 3) A t = A t,s + A s, for all t, s T, s > t, A t,s = {X L p L 0 s ϕ t(x) 0}. 4) For any Q P, t, s T, s > t, 5) For any X L p, Q P, s, t T, s > t, α min t (Q) = α min t,s (Q) + E Q [α min s (Q) F t]. ϕ t(x) α min t (Q) E Q [ϕ s(x) α min (Q) F t]. Recursivity plays a critical role in pricing by using risk measures. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 17 s
19 Update Rules Strong Time Consistency Example (Dynamic Entropic Utility/Risk Measure) ϕ γ t (X) = { 1 γ ln E[exp(γX) F t] if γ 0, E[X F t ] if γ = 0, where X X = L, t T; θ = γ is the risk-aversion parameter For γ 0, the map ϕ γ t is a dynamic concave utility measure. For any γ R, the map ϕ γ is strongly time consistent. More generally, for U R R a strictly increasing, continuous function, a dynamic certainty equivalent is defined as ϕ t (X) = U 1 (E[U(X) F t ]), X X, t T. (5.1) ϕ is a strongly time consistent dynamic LM-measure. Every dynamic LM-measure, which is finite, normalized, strictly monotone, continuous, law invariant, admits the Fatou property, and is strongly time consistent, can be represented as (5.1) for some U [KS09]. See also [BBN14, BCDK16]. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 18
20 Update Rules Strong Time Consistency α is not strongly time consistent [CS09]. Dynamic Gain Loss Ratio (dglr) defined as ϕ t (X) = is not strongly time consistent. E[X F t] E[(X) F, t] if E[X F t] > 0, 0, otherwise, An LM measure is scale invariant if ϕ t (λx) = ϕ t (X), λ F + t. No scale invariant LM measure is strongly time consistent. Let A F s such that P(A) = 1/2, and X n = n1 A 1 A C, n N. By locality and scale invariance ϕ s (X n ) = ϕ s (X 1 ), n N. If ϕ is strongly time consistent, then ϕ 0 (X n ) = ϕ 0 (X 1 ). On the other hand, any reasonable performance measure should assess X n at higher level than X 1. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 19
21 Update Rules Weak Time Consistency Weak Time Consistency: Update Rule µ t (m) = ess inf t m Proposition Let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure on L p T. The following are equivalent: 1) ϕ is is weakly acceptance time consistent, i.e. for any X L p T, s > t, ϕ s (X) m s ϕ t (X) ess inf t m s. 2) For any X L p T, s > t, ϕ t(x) ess inf t ϕ s (X). 3) For any X L p T, s > t, with M t(p) = {Q M(P) Q Ft = P Ft }, ϕ t (X) ess inf Q M t(p) E Q[ϕ s (X) F t ]. 4) For any X L p T, s > t, and m t L 0 t, ϕ s (X) m t ϕ t (X) m t. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 20
22 Update Rules Weak Time Consistency Most of the known examples are weakly acceptance or/and rejection time consistent. Proposition Let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure on L p T, and let µ be any projective update rule. If ϕ is µ-acceptance time consistent, then ϕ is weakly acceptance time consistent. Proof. It is easy to check that ess inf s X ess inf t X. Then, for any t, s T, s > t, and any X L p, we get ϕ t (X) µ t (ϕ s (X)) µ t (ess inf s (ϕ s (X))) µ t (ess inf t (ϕ s (X))) = ess inf t (ϕ s (X)).

(P4) Quasi-Concave: f t (λx + (1 λ)y ) min{f t (X), f t (Y )}, for any 0 λ 1, λ L p t. (P5) Time Consistency: For any m t, n t L 0 t (F t ), (acceptance) f t+1 (X) m t f t (X) m t, (rejection) f t+1 (X) n t f t (X) n t. For general theory see [BCZ14, BCC15, RGS13, BBN14] Ig.

26 Performance Preference Order Dynamic Accessability Indices Proposition Let {ϕ x } x R+ be a decreasing family of weakly acceptance/rejection time consistent dynamic LM-measures. Then, α t (X) = sup{x R + ϕ x t (X) 0}. is a weakly acceptance/rejection time consistent dynamic LM-measure. Let {α t } t T be a weakly acceptance/rejection time consistent dynamic LM-measure Then, for any x R +, ϕ x t (X) = ess inf {c1 {α c R t(x c) x}}, is a weakly acceptance/rejection time consistent dynamic LM-measure. Remark: Similar dual results hold true for processes, where the weak time consistency of α is replaced with semi-weak time consistency. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 25
27 Performance Preference Order Robust Expectations Time consistency wrt Robust Expectations Proposition Let D be a determining family of sets, and let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure. Consider the family of maps φ = {φ t } t T, φ t L 0 L 0 t, given by the following robust expectations φ t (m) = ess inf Z D t E[Zm F t ]. (6.1) Then, φ is a projective update rule. Moreover, if ϕ is φ-acceptance time consistent, then {g ϕ t } t T is also φ-acceptance time consistent, for any increasing, concave g R R. Remark: Dynamic Coherent Risk Measures are good examples to generate update rules. D = {D t} t T is a determining family if for any t T, the set D t satisfies the following properties: D t, D t P t, it is L 1 -closed, F t-convex 1, and uniformly integrable, with P t = {Z L 1 Z 0, E[Z F t] = 1}.

28 Performance Preference Order Robust Expectations Super(sub) martingale time consistency For the trivial determining sets D t = {1}, the projective update rule is µ t (m) = E[m F t ], m L 0. Definition Let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure on L p. We say that ϕ is supermartingale (resp. submartingale) time consistent if for any X L p and t, s T, s > t. ϕ t (X) E[ϕ s (X) F t ], (resp. ) Any super(sub)martingale time consistent LM-measure is also weakly acceptance(rejection) time consistent.

Other Examples: Dynamic Risk Sensitive Criterion [BCP15], and Conditional Weighted V@R. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 28
30 Performance Preference Order Time consistency induced by LM-measures Definition Let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure on L p. A family ϕ = { ϕ t } t T of maps ϕ t L 0 L 0 t is an LM-extension of ϕ, if for any t T, ϕ t X ϕ t, and ϕ t is local and monotone on L 0. Define the collection of functions ϕ ± = {ϕ ± t } t T, where ϕ ± t L 0 L 0 t and ϕ + t (X) = ess inf A F t [1 A ess inf Y Y + A (X) ϕ t(y ) + 1 A c(+ )], ϕ t (X) = ess sup [1 A ess sup ϕ t (Y ) + 1 A c( )], A F t Y YA (X) where Y + A (X) = {Y X 1 AY 1 A X}, Y A (X) = {Y X 1 AY 1 A X}, is called the upper/lower LM-extension of ϕ, Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 29
31 Performance Preference Order Proposition Let ϕ be a dynamic LM-measure on L p. 1 The functions ϕ and ϕ + are LM-extensions of ϕ. 2 For any ϕ LM-extension of ϕ ϕ t (X) ϕ t (X) ϕ + t (X), X L 0. 3 ϕ is an s-invariant update rule. 4 ϕ is projective if and only if ϕ t (X) = X, for t T and X L p L 0 t. Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 30
32 Performance Preference Order Definition ϕ is middle acceptance time consistent, if it is ϕ acceptance time consistent. For representable risk measures on L, continuous from above, this is equivalent to and, also equivalent to ϕ s (X) ϕ s (Y ) ϕ t (X) ϕ t (Y ), ϕ t (X) ϕ t (ϕ s (X)). Clearly, strong time consistent implies middle acceptance time consistent. The converse implication is not true; for counterexample see [AP11, Proposition 37] Ig. Cialenco Illinois Tech Nov 13, 2017 Slide 31
33 Performance Preference Order Similarly, ϕ is middle rejection time consistency, if it is ϕ + rejection time consistent. For representable risk measures on L, continuous from above, this is equivalent to or ϕ t (X) ϕ t (ϕ s (X)). ϕ s (X) ϕ s (Y ) ϕ t (X) ϕ t (Y ), ϕ is strongly time consistent, if there exists an LM-extension ˆϕ, of ϕ, such that ϕ is both ˆϕ-acceptance and ˆϕ-rejection time consistent, or equivalently ϕ t (X) = ˆϕ t (ϕ s (X)), X X, s, t T, s > t.
