We study an equilibrium asset pricing model with several Lucas (1978) trees subject toevent risk, that is, the possibility that trees experience unexpected disasters. We exploit themarket clearing mechanism, in the presence of multiple positive net supply assets, to showthat the implications of...

In this paper, we build a bridge between different reduced-form approaches to pricing defaultable claims. In particular, we showhow the well known formulas by Duffie et al. [12] and by Elliott et al.[14] are related. Moreover, in the spirit of Collin Dufresne et al. [8], wepropose a simple...

We introduce a framework for analyzing the interplay between credit risk and collateralmarket risk on loan pricing. To do this, we decompose any loan into an unsecured and asecured part. Further we explicitly consider the recovery process. The framework allows usto develop semi-analytical...

We find that price and earnings momentum are pervasive features of international equitymarkets when controlling for data snooping biases. For European countries, we find that pricemomentum is subsumed by earnings momentum on an aggregate level. However, this rationaledoes not apply to each and...

We study utility indifference pricing of claim streams with intertemporalconsumption and power (CRRA) utilities. We derive explicit formulasfor the derivatives of the utility indifference price with respect toclaims and wealth. The simple structure of these formulas is a reflectionof surprising...
