Contemporary financial stochastic programs typically involve a trade-offbetween return and (downside)-risk. Using stochastic programming we characterize analytically (rather than numerically) the optimal decisions that follow from characteristic single-stage and multi-stage versions of such...

Under Basel III rules, banks become subject to a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) from 2015 onwards, to promote short …-term resilience. We investigate the effects of such liquidity regulation on bank liquid assets and liabilities. Results indicate co …-integration of liquid assets and liabilities, to maintain a minimum short-term liquidity buffer. Still, microprudential regulation …

I study a model of market-liquidity provision by levered intermediaries that, besides operating trading desks, run … deposit-taking franchises. Levered intermediaries’ heightened incentive to absorb risk helps to counteract liquidity …. However, liquidity provision may also overshoot, leading to unhealthy price bubbles and causing asset origination to become …

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a tool that was introduced in the early 50's by Box and Wilson (1951). It is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques useful for the approximation and optimization of stochastic models. Applications of RSM can be found in e.g. chemical,...

We investigate the effects of introducing a central clearing counterparty (CCP) on securities prices by adopting as an experimental construct the 2009 CCP reform in three Nordic markets. We find that, relative to other European economies, these countries experience market-adjusted equity returns...

This paper points out the importance of Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficient sets being convex. We reviewclassic convexity and efficient set characterization results on SD efficiency of a given portfolio relative to adiversified set of assets and generalize them in the following aspects. First,...

For more than three decades, empirical analysis of stochastic dominance was restricted to settings with mutually exclusive choice alternatives. In recent years, a number of methods for testing efficiency of diversified portfolios have emerged, which can be classified into three main categories:...

The computation of various risk metrics is essential to the quantitative risk management of variable annuity guaranteed benefits. The current market practice of Monte Carlo simulation often requires intensive computations, which can be very costly for insurance companies to implement and take so...
