An empirical analysis of interest rates in money and capital markets is performed. We investigate a set of 34 different weekly interest rate time series during a time period of 16 years between 1982 and 1997. Our study is focused on the collective behavior of the stochastic fluctuations of these time-series which is investigated by using a clustering linkage procedure. Without any a priori assumption, we individuate a meaningful separation in 6 main clusters organized in a hierarchical structure.

At present, there is an explosion of practical interest in the pricing of interest rate (IR) derivatives. Textbook pricing methods do not take into account the leptokurticity of the underlying IR process. In this paper, such a leptokurtic behaviour i
s illustrated using LIBOR data, and a possible martingale pricing scheme is discussed.
The scaling properties encompass in a simple analysis many of the volatility characteristics of financial markets. That is why we use them to probe the different degree of markets development. We empirically study the scaling properties of daily Fore
ign Exchange rates, Stock Market indices and fixed income instruments by using the generalized Hurst approach. We show that the scaling exponents are associated with characteristics of the specific markets and can be used to differentiate markets in their stage of development. The robustness of the results is tested by both Monte-Carlo studies and a computation of the scaling in the frequency-domain.
In a recent paper [textit{M. Cristelli, A. Zaccaria and L. Pietronero, Phys. Rev. E 85, 066108 (2012)}], Cristelli textit{et al.} analysed relation between skewness and kurtosis for complex dynamical systems and identified two power-law regimes of no
n-Gaussianity, one of which scales with an exponent of 2 and the other is with $4/3$. Finally the authors concluded that the observed relation is a universal fact in complex dynamical systems. Here, we test the proposed universal relation between skewness and kurtosis with large number of synthetic data and show that in fact it is not universal and originates only due to the small number of data points in the data sets considered. The proposed relation is tested using two different non-Gaussian distributions, namely $q$-Gaussian and Levy distributions. We clearly show that this relation disappears for sufficiently large data sets provided that the second moment of the distribution is finite. We find that, contrary to the claims of Cristelli textit{et al.} regarding a power-law scaling regime, kurtosis saturates to a single value, which is of course different from the Gaussian case ($K=3$), as the number of data is increased. On the other hand, if the second moment of the distribution is infinite, then the kurtosis seems to never converge to a single value. The converged kurtosis value for the finite second moment distributions and the number of data points needed to reach this value depend on the deviation of the original distribution from the Gaussian case. We also argue that the use of kurtosis to compare distributions to decide which one deviates from the Gaussian more can lead to incorrect results even for finite second moment distributions for small data sets, whereas it is totally misleading for infinite second moment distributions where the difference depends on $N$ for all finite $N$.
In finite-size scaling analyses of Monte Carlo simulations of second-order phase transitions one often needs an extended temperature/energy range around the critical point. By combining the replica-exchange algorithm with cluster updates and an adapt
ive routine to find the range of interest, we introduce a new flexible and powerful method for systematic investigations of critical phenomena. As a result, we gain two further orders of magnitude in the performance for 2D and 3D Ising models in comparison with the recently proposed Wang-Landau recursion for cluster algorithms based on the multibondic algorithm, which is already a great improvement over the standard multicanonical variant.
We consider the structure functions S^(q)(T), i.e. the moments of order q of the increments X(t+T)-X(t) of the Foreign Exchange rate X(t) which give clear evidence of scaling (S^(q)(T)~T^z(q)). We demonstrate that the nonlinearity of the observed sca
ling exponent z(q) is incompatible with monofractal additive stochastic models usually introduced in finance: Brownian motion, Levy processes and their truncat
