We consider a financial market with a savings account and a stock S that follows a general diffusion. The default of the company, which issues the stock S, is modeled as a stopping time with respect to the filtration generated by the value of the firm that is not observable by regular investors....

We study a model of a financial market in which the dividend rates of two risky assets change their initial values to other constant ones at the times at which certain unobservable external events occur. The asset price dynamics are described by geometric Brownian motions with random drift rates...

We study a model of a financial market in which two risky assets are paying dividends with rates changing their initial values to other constant ones when certain events occur. Such events are associated with the first times at which the value processes of issuing firms, modeled by geometric...

This paper studies in some examples the role of information in a default-risk framework. We examine three types of information for a firm's unlevered asset value to the secondary bond market: the classical case of continuous and perfect information, observation of past and contemporaneous asset...

We construct risk-minimizing hedging strategies in the case where there are restrictions on the available information. the underlying price process is a "d"-dimensional F-martingale, and strategies &phis;= (ϑ, η) are constrained to have η G-predictable and η G'-adapted for filtrations η G C G'C...
