This paper evaluates the effect of market integration on prices and welfare, in a model where two Lucas trees grow in separate regions with similar investors. We find equilibrium asset price dynamics and welfare both in segmentation, when each region holds its own asset and consumes its dividend, and in integration, when both regions trade both assets and consume both dividends. Integration always

We show that the sequential closure of a family of probability measures on the canonical space of càdlàg paths satisfying Stricker’s uniform tightness condition is a weak∗ compact set of semimartingale measures in the dual pairing of bounded continuous functions and Radon measures, that is, the dual pairing from the Riesz representation theorem under topological assumptions on the path space.

This paper revisits the optimal capital structure model with endogenous bankruptcy, first studied by Leland (J. Finance 49:1213–1252, 1994) and Leland and Toft (J. Finance 51:987–1019, 1996). Unlike in the standard case where shareholders continuously observe the asset value and bankruptcy is executed instantaneously without delay, the information of the asset value is assumed to be updated periodically

In this paper, we consider an optimal insurance problem from the perspective of a risk-averse individual who faces an insurable risk as well as some background risk and wants to maximise the expected utility of his/her final wealth. To reduce ex post moral hazard, we follow Huberman et al. (Bell J. Econ. 14:415–426 1983) to assume that alternative insurance contracts satisfy the principle of indemnity

We study the set of Davis (marginal utility-based) prices of a financial derivative in the case where the investor has a non-replicable random endowment. We give a new characterisation of the set of all such prices, and provide an example showing that even in the simplest of settings – such as Samuelson’s geometric Brownian motion model –, the interval of Davis prices is often a non-degenerate subinterval

We present a detailed analysis of observable moment-based parameter estimators for the Heston SDEs jointly driving the rate of returns $$(R_{t})$$ and the squared volatilities $$(V_{t})$$. Since volatilities are not directly observable, our parameter estimators are constructed from empirical moments of realised volatilities $$(Y_{t})$$, which are of course observable. Realised volatilities are computed

We present a detailed analysis and implementation of a splitting strategy to identify simultaneously the local volatility surface and the jump-size distribution from quoted European prices. The underlying model consists of a jump-diffusion driven asset with time- and price-dependent volatility. Our approach uses a forward Dupire-type partial integro-differential equation for the option prices to produce

Discrete-time hedging produces a residual P&L, namely the tracking error. The major problem is to get valuation/hedging policies minimising this error. We evaluate the risk between trading dates through a function penalising profits and losses asymmetrically. After deriving the asymptotics from a discrete-time risk measurement for a large number of trading dates, we derive the optimal strategies minimising

We study time reversal, last passage time and $$h$$-transform of linear diffusions. For general diffusions with killing, we obtain the probability density of the last passage time to an arbitrary level and analyse the distribution of the time left until killing after the last passage time. With these tools, we develop a new risk management framework for companies based on the leverage process (the

Assume that an agent models a financial asset through a measure ℚ with the goal to price/hedge some derivative or optimise some expected utility. Even if the model ℚ is chosen in the most skilful and sophisticated way, the agent is left with the possibility that ℚ does not provide an exact description of reality. This leads us to the following question: will the hedge still be somewhat meaningful for

We consider an asymptotic SPDE description of a large portfolio model where the underlying asset prices evolve according to certain stochastic volatility models with default upon hitting a lower barrier. The asset prices and their volatilities are correlated through systemic Brownian motions, and the SPDE is obtained on the positive half-space along with a Dirichlet boundary condition. We study the

We propose a multiple optimal stopping model where an investor can sell a divisible asset position at times of her choosing. Investors have $$S$$-shaped reference-dependent preferences, whereby utility is defined over gains and losses relative to a reference level and is concave over gains and convex over losses. For a price process following a time-homogeneous diffusion, we employ the constructive

We develop a method to find approximate solutions, and their accuracy, to consumption–investment problems with isoelastic preferences and infinite horizon, in incomplete markets where state variables follow a multivariate diffusion. We construct upper and lower contractions; these are fictitious complete markets in which state variables are fully hedgeable, but their dynamics is distorted. Such contractions

We introduce the notion of a regime switching affine process. Informally this is a Markov process that behaves conditionally on each regime as an affine process with specific parameters. To facilitate our analysis, specific restrictions are imposed on these parameters. The regime switches are driven by a Markov chain. We prove that the joint process of the Markov chain and the conditionally affine

In the context of a general semimartingale model, we aim at determining how much an investor is willing to pay to learn additional information that allows achieving arbitrage. If such a value exists, we call it the value of informational arbitrage. We are interested in the case where the information yields arbitrage opportunities but not unbounded profits with bounded risk. As in Amendinger et al.

In our previous paper “A unified approach to systemic risk measures via acceptance sets” (Mathematical Finance, 2018), we have introduced a general class of systemic risk measures that allow random allocations to individual banks before aggregation of their risks. In the present paper, we prove a dual representation of a particular subclass of such systemic risk measures and the existence and uniqueness

We prove the global existence of an incomplete, continuous-time finite-agent Radner equilibrium in which exponential agents optimise their expected utility over both running consumption and terminal wealth. The market consists of a traded annuity, and along with unspanned income, the market is incomplete. Set in a Brownian framework, the income is driven by a multidimensional diffusion and in particular

Twenty years ago, E.R. Fernholz introduced the notion of “functional generation” to construct a variety of portfolios solely in terms of the individual companies’ market weights. I. Karatzas and J.

Here, both of these notions

For any Borel-measurable claim $$\xi$$ bounded from below, the superhedging price coincides with the supremum over all pricing functionals \(\mathbb{E}_{\mathbb{Q}}[

In line with current regulatory frameworks, the presented approach is based on a hypothetical transfer of the original liability and a replicating portfolio to an empty corporate entity, whose owner must
