existing methods lies in its straightforward application to models with stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates. We … exploit this advantage by providing an analysis of the impact of volatility mean-reversion, volatility of volatility, and …

Institutional but also private investors have often limited flexibility in timing their investment decision. Therefore, they look for investments that would ideally be independent of the timing decision. We introduce a new class of derivative products whose payoff is linked to the trend of the...

We derive a closed-form asymptotic expansion formula for option implied volatility under a two-factor jump …-diffusion stochastic volatility model when time-to-maturity is small. Based on numerical experiments we describe the range of time … free of the unobserved spot volatility. Therefore, the model can be calibrated on option data pooled across different …

This study finds that a model with internal habit memory allowsto simultaneously explain a series of business cycle and asset pricing puzzles. Compared to the literature, the equity premium puzzle can be resolved in a model with endogenous labor, without giving rise to excessive risk free rate...

The American put is one of the oldest problems in mathematical finance. We review the development of the relevant literature over the last 40 years. Today the mainstream computational problems have been solved satisfactorily and the target of research is shifting towards the development of...

We propose a class of new robust GMM tests for endogenous structural breaks. The tests are based on supremum and average statistics derived from robust GMM estimators with a bounded influence function. They imply a bounded linearized asymptotic bias of size and power under local model...
