Financial markets are typically characterized by high (low) price level and low (high) volatility during boom (bust) periods, suggesting that price and volatility tend to move together with different market conditions/states. By proposing a simple heterogeneous agent model of fundamentalists and...

The proposed concept of benchmarked risk minimization generalizes classical risk … integrability of contingent claims and the existence of an equivalent risk neutral probability measure. The proposed concept of … benchmarked risk minimization avoids these restrictive assumptions. It employs the real world probability measure as pricing …

This paper investigates the sensitivity of asset and portfolio price volatility with respect to the minimum available trading interval that the price is quoted. The objective of the study is to find the theoretical impact of high frequency trading on asset and portfolio volatilities, using a...

This paper considers a new class of Monte Carlo methods that are combined with PDE expansions for the pricing and hedging of derivative securities for multidimensional diffusion models. The proposed method combines the advantages of both PDE and Monte Carlo methods and can be directly applied to...

Estimation theory has shown, due to the limited estimation window available for real asset data, the sample based Markowitz mean-variance approach produces unreliable weights which fluctuate substantially over time. This paper proposes an alternate approach to portfolio optimization, being the...

This paper introduces a general market modeling framework, the benchmark approach, which assumes the existence of the numeraire portfolio. This is the strictly positive portfolio that when used as benchmark makes all benchmarked nonnegative portfolios supermartingales, that is intuitively...

This paper derives a unified framework for portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, financial modeling and risk … discounted GOP. Risk neutral derivative pricing and actuarial pricing are generalized by the fair pricing concept, which uses the … GOP as numeraire and the real world probability measure as pricing measure. An equivalent risk neutral martingale measure …
