In this article we propose several pathwise and finite difference basedmethods for calculating sensitivities of Bermudan options using regressionmethods and Monte Carlo simulation. These methods rely on conditionalprobabilistic representations which allow, in combination with aregression...

The main aim of this paper is to compare the size and size-adjusted power prop-erties of four residual-based and one maximum-likelihood-based panel cointegrationtests with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. In this study the panel-rho, the group-rho, the panel-t, the group-t statistics of...

In this paper we carry over the concept of reverse probabilistic representations developed in Milstein, Schoenmakers, Spokoiny (2004) for diffusion processes, to discrete time Markov chains. We outline the construction of reverse chains in several situations and apply this to processes which are...

Here we develop an approach for efficient pricing discrete-time American and Bermudan options which employs the fact that such options are equivalent to theEuropean ones with a consumption, combined with analysis of the market model over a small number of steps ahead. This approach allows...

This paper investigates the finite sample properties of confidence intervals for structural vector error correction models (SVECMs) with long-run identifying restrictions on the impulse response functions. The simulation study compares methods that are frequently used in applied SVECM studies...
