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 … the shortfall risk defined as the expectation of the shortfall weighted by some loss function. The resulting efficient …

We provide a framework for the analysis of term structures of credit spreads on corporate bonds in the presence of informational asymmetries. While bond investors observe default incidents, we suppose that they have incomplete information on the firm's assets and/or the threshold asset level at...

We propose a model of correlated multi-firm default with incomplete information. While public bond investors observe issuers' assets and defaults, we suppose that they are not informed about the threshold asset level at which a firm is liquidated. Bond investors form instead a prior on these...

We study an extension of the classical B1ack-Scholes model which accounts for feedback effects from trading in an imperfectly elastic market. The proposed semi-martingale model may be viewed as a compromise between the diffusion approach in, e.g., (Cuoco and Cvitanic 1998), (Cvitanic and Ma...

This paper tests the validity of Present Value (PV) models of stock prices by employing a two-step strategy for testing the null hypothesis of no cointegration against alternatives which are fractionally cointegrated. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the power and size...
