A YIELD‐FACTOR MODEL OF INTEREST RATESMathematical Finance - Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 379-406 - 1996
Darrell Duffie, Rui Kan
This paper presents a consistent and arbitrage‐free multifactor model of the
term structure of interest rates in which yields at selected fixed maturities
follow a parametric muitivariate Markov diffusion process with “stochastic
volatility.” the yield of any zero‐coupon bond is taken to be a
maturity‐dependent affine combination of the selected “basis” set of yields. We
provide necessary and suff... hiện toàn bộ
Unspanned stochastic volatility in the multifactor CIR modelMathematical Finance - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 827-836 - 2019
Damir Filipović, Martin Larsson, Francesco Statti
AbstractEmpirical evidence suggests that fixed‐income markets exhibit unspanned
stochastic volatility (USV), that is, that one cannot fully hedge volatility
risk solely using a portfolio of bonds. While Collin‐Dufresne and Goldstein
(2002, Journal of Finance, 57, 1685–1730) showed that no two‐factor
Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) model can exhibit USV, it has been unknown to date
whether CIR models with... hiện toàn bộ
Static hedging and pricing of exotic options with payoff framesMathematical Finance - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 612-658 - 2019
Justin Kirkby, Shijie Deng
AbstractWe develop a general framework for statically hedging and pricing
European‐style options with nonstandard terminal payoffs, which can be applied
to mixed static–dynamic and semistatic hedges for many path‐dependent exotic
options including variance swaps and barrier options. The goal is achieved by
separating the hedging and pricing problems to obtain replicating strategies.
Once prices ha... hiện toàn bộ
Coherent Measures of RiskMathematical Finance - Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 203-228 - 1999
Philippe Artzner, Freddy Delbaen, Jean‐Marc Eber, David Heath
In this paper we study both market risks and nonmarket risks, without complete
markets assumption, and discuss methods of measurement of these risks. We
present and justify a set of four desirable properties for measures of risk, and
call the measures satisfying these properties “coherent.” We examine the
measures of risk provided and the related actions required by SPAN, by the
SEC/NASD rules, an... hiện toàn bộ
Explicit Representation of the Minimal Variance Portfolio in Markets Driven by Lévy ProcessesMathematical Finance - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 55-72 - 2003
Fred Espen Benth, Giulia Di Nunno, Arne Løkka, Frank Proske
In a market driven by a Lévy martingale, we consider a claim ξ. We study the
problem of minimal variance hedging and we give an explicit formula for the
minimal variance portfolio in terms of Malliavin derivatives. We discuss two
types of stochastic (Malliavin) derivatives for ξ: one based on the chaos
expansion in terms of iterated integrals with respect to the power jump
processes and one based ... hiện toàn bộ
BEHAVIORAL PORTFOLIO SELECTION IN CONTINUOUS TIMEMathematical Finance - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 385-426 - 2008
Hanqing Jin, Xun Yu Zhou
This paper formulates and studies a general continuous‐time behavioral portfolio
selection model under Kahneman and Tversky's (cumulative) prospect theory,
featuring S‐shaped utility (value) functions and probability distortions. Unlike
the conventional expected utility maximization model, such a behavioral model
could be easily mis‐formulated (a.k.a. ill‐posed) if its different components do
not ... hiện toàn bộ
OPTIMAL INSURANCE DESIGN UNDER RANK‐DEPENDENT EXPECTED UTILITYMathematical Finance - Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 154-186 - 2015
Carole Bernard, Xuedong He, Jia-an Yan, Xun Yu Zhou
We consider an optimal insurance design problem for an individual whose
preferences are dictated by the rank‐dependent expected utility (RDEU) theory
with a concave utility function and an inverse‐S shaped probability distortion
function. This type of RDEU is known to describe human behavior better than the
classical expected utility. By applying the technique of quantile formulation,
we solve the... hiện toàn bộ
Return Dynamics when Persistence is UnobservableMathematical Finance - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 415-445 - 2001
Timothy C. Johnson
This paper proposes a new theory of the sources of time‐varying second (and
higher) moments in financial time series. The key idea is that fully rational
agents must infer the stochastic degree of persistence of fundamental shocks.
Endogenous changes in their uncertainty determine the evolution of conditional
moments of returns. The model accounts for the principal observed features of
volatility ... hiện toàn bộ
A DIFFUSION MODEL FOR ELECTRICITY PRICESMathematical Finance - Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 287-298 - 2002
Takashi Kumagai
Starting from a simple supply/demand model for electricity, we obtain a
diffusion (i.e., jumpless) model for spot prices which can exhibit price spikes.
We estimate the parameters in the model using historical data from the Alberta
and California markets. and compare this model with some others used for spot
prices.
