This paper proposes a continuous-time term-structure model under stochastic differential utility with non-unitary elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS, henceforth) in a representative-agent endowment economy with mean-reverting expectations on real output growth and inflation. Using...

This paper proposes a testable continuous-time term-structure model with recursive utility to investigate structural relationships between the real economy and the term structure of real and nominal interest rates. In a representative-agent model with recursive utility and mean-reverting...

This paper presents a new approach for modeling an optimal debt contract in continuous time. It examines a competing contract design in a continuous-time environment with Markov income shocks and costly verifiable information. It shows that an optimal contract has the form of a debt contract...

This paper studies a strategic role of debt restructuring under an optimal debt contract. It explores an infinite-horizon costly-monitoring model under Markov income shocks. It shows that, if (1) a borrower's project is expected to be profitable, (2) a lender's outside options are positively...

This paper presents a new approach for modeling continuous-time defaultable debt contracts. It studies an optimal competitive debt contract in continuous time by exploring a dynamic costly monitoring model under asymmetric information in a common-agency setting. It shows that, under an optimal...

In this work, we have presented a simple analytical approximation scheme for generic non-linear FBSDEs. By treating the interested system as the linear decoupled FBSDE perturbed with non-linear generator and feedback terms, we have shown that it is possible to carry out a recursive approximation...

This paper develops a new scheme for improving an approximation method of a probability density function, which is inspired by the idea in the Hilbert space projection theorem. Moreover, we apply "Dykstra’s cyclic projections algorithm" for its implementation. Numerical examples for...

This paper develops a new scheme for improving an approximation method of a probability density function, which is inspired by the idea in best approximation in an inner product space. Moreover, we applies "Dykstra's cyclic projections algorithm" for its implementation. Numerical examples for...

In this paper, we have studied the pricing of a continuously collateralized CDS. We have made use of the "survival measure" to derive the pricing formula in a straightforward way. As a result, we have found that there exists irremovable trace of the counter party as well as the investor in the...

This paper proposes a trading strategy that dynamically rebalances static super-replicating portfolios, which is very useful for both investment and hedging strategies. In order to investigate general properties of the strategy, we derive the Doob-Meyer decomposition for the value process...
