Efficient hedging : cost versus shortfall risk
Föllmer, Hans; Leukert, Peter - 1999
An investor faced with a contingent claim may eliminate risk by (super-)hedging in a financial market. As this is often quite expensive, we study partial hedges, which require less capital and reduce the risk. In a previous paper we determined quantile hedges which succeed with maximal...

Coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and (my,p)-portfolio optimization
Jaschke, Stefan R.; Küchler, Uwe - 1999
This paper presents a general theory that works out the relation between coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and certain classes of portfolio optimization problems. It is economically general in the sense that it works for any cash stream spaces, be it in dynamic trading settings, one-step...

Please, marry me! : an experimental study of risking a joint venture
Güth, Werner; Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Tjotta, Sigve - 1999
Empirical studies in family economics usually rely on questionnaires, statistical or panel data. Here we try to study experimentally some crucial aspects of engaging in a marriage. First the female partner can end the relationship or suggest one of the two forms of joint venture. Whereas a full...

The Beveridge-Nelson decomposition : a different perspective with new results
Gómez, Víctor; Breitung, Jörg - 1998
We show in the paper that the decomposition proposed by Beveridge and Nelson (1981) for models that are integrated of order one can be generalized to seasonal Arima models by means of a partial fraction decomposition. Two equivalent algorithms are proposed to optimally (in the mean squared...

A note on stochastic volatility, GARCH models, and hyperbolic distributions
Jaschke, Stefan R. - 1997
We establish a relation between stochastic volatility models and the class of generalized hyperbolic distributions. These distributions have been found to fit exceptionally well to the empirical distribution of stock returns. We review the background of hyperbolic distributions and prove...

Finance, investment, and firm value in Germany and the US : a comparative analysis
Nowak, Eric - 1998
