Feedback effect between Volatility of capital flows and financial stability: evidence from Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract

Financial system being the place of metting capital flows (equality between saving and investment), a volatility of capital flows can destroy the robustness and good working of financial system, it means subvert financial stability. The same a weak financial system, few regulated and bad manage can exacerbate volatility of capital flows and finely undermine financial stability. The present study provides evidence on feedback effect between volatility of capital flows and financial stability in Democratic republic of Congo (DRC), and estimate the contributions of macroeconomic and macroprudential policies in the attenuation volatility of capital flows effects on financial stability and in the prevention of instability financial. Assessment dynamic regression model a la Feldstein-Horioka we showed that financial system is widely supplied and financed by internationals capital flows. This implicate Congolese economy is financially mobile, that can be dangerous for financial stability. The study dynamic econometric of financial system's absolute size, we stipulate financial system has a systemic weight on real economy. Hence a shock of financial system could have devastating effects on Congolese economy. We estimate a vector autoregressive (VAR) model for prove the bilateral causality and impacts of macroeconomic and macroprudential policies. With regard to results, it proved on the one there is a feedback effect between volatility of capital flows and financial stability, on the other hand macroeconomic and macroprudential policies can't attenuate volatility of capital flows and prevent instability financial. It prove macroprudential approach is given a better result than monetary policy. The implementation of framework macroprudential by Central Bank of Congo will be beneficial in the realization of financial stability and attenuation volatility of capital flows.Keywords: Volatility of capital flows, financial stability, macroeconomic and macroprudential policies

Unbiased Monte Carlo Greeks for Discontinuous Payoffs

Pathwise differentiation of Monte Carlo estimators fails at payoff discontinuities, producing zero or biased sensitivities for barriers, autocallables, and digital options. The industry workaround --- smoothing the indicator functions --- introduces bias and requires per-product calibration. We derive a correction formula that restores unbiased Greeks without smoothing. For a payoff $F(Z,\theta)$ that is piecewise smooth with discontinuities on surfaces $\{g_i = 0\}$, we show that the sensitivity decomposes into a pathwise term (computed by standard AAD) plus a sum of boundary corrections, each involving the payoff jump, the Gaussian density at the boundary, and the sensitivity of the boundary to the parameter. The correction is computed by Newton root-finding in the normal-random space, with the jump evaluated by two forward replays of the pricing kernel. The implementation uses AADC (\texttt{pip install aadc}), whose tape replay and automatic discontinuity tracking make the method fully automatic --- the quant writes standard pricing code, and the correction driver identifies and handles all discontinuities. We prove the formula for arbitrary compositions of smooth functions and indicator functions (not just outer products), covering real autocallable payoff structures with recursive alive/dead logic. Benchmarks on QuantLib models (GBM, Heston, Hull-White) show all Greeks within 0.1--4\% of analytic or bump-and-revalue references.

Global Multi-Maturity SPX-VIX Calibration Beyond Markovian Stitching

We develop a global framework for joint S&P 500 (SPX)-VIX smile calibration across multiple maturities without the conditional-independence restriction induced by Markovian stitching. Exact local and global feasibility are equivalent: every globally feasible law has a block-preserving SPX-Markovization that leaves each monthly $(S_i,V_i,S_{i+1})$ law unchanged. Nevertheless, stitched laws can form a strict subset of globally feasible path laws because Markovization discards dependence on earlier history beyond the current SPX level. Adjacent smiles therefore cannot identify this dependence, and laws with identical monthly calibrations can price multi-period claims differently. Under the standard Markov reference, relative entropy selects the stitched minimum-information completion; non-Markov dependence requires cross-period information, an appropriate objective, or a history-dependent prior. For finite discretizations, we introduce an augmented-Bregman mirror-descent scheme. It preserves the fit to observable quote moments while controlling martingale and dispersion residuals. In a controlled infeasible affine system, this split keeps prescribed marginals about $25$ times tighter than cyclic row projection by exposing the discrepancy in the conditional rows. An exact finite-state example verifies block preservation and exhibits material cross-period price changes after Markovization. On smoothed SPX and VIX surfaces, numerical calculations illustrate a finite-budget penalty path: the worst fitted-smile error remains below $0.70$ volatility points across the reported sweep while the bulk conditional diagnostics improve substantially.

Quantum Circuit Learning for Volatility Modeling: Multifractal Analysis of Realized Volatility Time Series

Herein, we propose a quantum circuit learning framework for modeling the realized volatility (RV) of Bitcoin and investigate the statistical properties of the predicted time series through multifractal analysis. Unlike conventional GARCH-type models, which require a pre-specified functional form for the volatility process, a parameterized quantum circuit directly approximates the volatility function from empirical data, eliminating the need for explicit model selection. Using five-minute Bitcoin price data, we construct daily RV, train a single-qubit parameterized quantum circuit, and generate a long synthetic time series from the optimized quantum circuit. Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis is applied to calculate the generalized Hurst exponent $h(q)$, the singularity spectrum $f(\alpha)$, and the multifractal scaling exponent $\tau(q)$. The predicted return series exhibits $h(2)\approx 0.5$, consistent with near-random dynamics, and both the predicted and the empirical return series display multifractality that partially persists after random shuffling. The increment series of RV shows pronounced anti-persistence with $h(2)\approx 0.05$--$0.1$, consistent with the rough volatility hypothesis. These results demonstrate that a simple single-qubit parameterized quantum circuit captures qualitatively some observed properties in Bitcoin volatility dynamics.
