We investigate in this paper the recovery of the local volatility surface in a parametric framework similar to that of Coleman, Li and Verma [4]. The quality of a surface is assessed through a functional which is optimized; the specificity of the approach is to separate the optimization on the...

The current financial crisis offers a unique opportunity to investigate the leading properties of market indicators in a stressed environment and their usefulness from a banking supervision perspective. One pool of relevant information that has been little explored in the empirical literature is...

Share repurchases are transactions which are supposed to cause a market reaction through a signaling approach. However looking only at cumulated abnormal returns (CARs) is insufficient and the results are sometimes contradictory. We introduce the concept of informativeness to assess if...
