We document the numerical aspects of the calibration of cross-currency options on the local volatility framework. We consider the partial differential equation satisfied by the price of the cross-currency option and see that the most important specifications to set are the boundary conditions....

We document the calibration of the local volatility in terms of local and implied instantaneous variances; we first explore the theoretical properties of the method for a particular class of volatilities. We confirm the theoretical results through a numerical procedure which uses a Gauss-Newton...

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...

theoretical determinants of default risk and actual market premia using cross sectional regressions. These theoretical … determinants are variance risk premia, implied volatility and the riskless interest rate. We find that estimated coefficients for … amount of the variation in the data. We therefore conclude that variance risk premia, volatility and the risk free rate are …

This paper compares the effectiveness of strict liability and capped strict liability regimes in an agency relationship among a regulatory agency and operators of risky activities. Under a double asymmetric information assumption (wealth and efficiency in care effort), it shows that capping...
