Chapter Chapter 2 in Market Tremors, 2021, pp 25-59 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the foundational principles necessary to understand our core thesis. The chapter builds a risk framework for dealing with large agents or “whales” in the market. Most of the time, these agents are invisible or even a stabilizing force. However, if these whales are forced to hedge, unwind or change their lending patterns, they can distort the distribution of returns. In the extreme case, their actions can trigger a left-tail event. Standard risk models generally fail to consider vital positioning riskpositioning risk. Drawing analogies from Mean Field Games, we develop a technique for adjusting widely used measures such as volatility and Value at Risk, given the presence of a Dominant Agent.
