An F-cone is a pointed and generating convex cone of a real vector space that is the union of a countable family of finite dimensional polyedral convex cones such that each of which is an extremel subset of the subsequent one. In this paper, we study securities markets with countably many...

We show that if K is a closed cone in a finite dimensional vector space X, then there exists a one-to-one linear operator T : X C [0,1] such that K is the pull-back cone of the positive cone of C [0,1], i.e., K = T -1 (C+ [0,1]). This problem originated from questions regarding arbitrage free...

The spectacular failure of the 150-year old investment bank Lehman Brothers on September 15th, 2008 was a major turning point in the global financial crisis that broke out in the summer 2007. Through the use of stock market data and Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads, this paper examines the...

We derive several popular systemic risk measures in a common framework and show that they can be expressed as transformations of market risk measures (e.g., beta). We also derive conditions under which the different measures lead to similar rankings of systemically important financial...
