For the solution Y of a multivariate random recurrence model Yn=AnYn-1+[zeta]n in we investigate the extremal behaviour of the process , , for with z*=1. This extends results for positive matrices An. Moreover, we obtain explicit representations of the compound Poisson limit of point processes...

This paper investigates the problem of hedging European call options using Leland's strategy in stochastic volatility markets with transaction costs. Introducing a new form for the enlarged volatility in Leland's algorithm, we establish a limit theorem and determine a convergence rate for the...

We extend the resutls for the problem of option replication under proportional transaction costs in \cite{Nguyen} to more general frameworks where stochastic volatility and jumps are combined to capture market's important features. In particular, we study the hedging error due to discrete...

We consider an insurance risk model for the cashflow of an insurance company, which invests its reserve into a portfolio consisting of risky and riskless assets. The price of the risky asset is modeled by an exponential Lévy process. We derive the integrated risk process and the corresponding...

We derive results on the asymptotic behavior of tails and quantiles of quadratic forms of Gaussian vectors. They appear in particular in delta-gamma models in financial risk management approximating portfolio returns. Quantile estimation corresponds to the estimation of the Value-at-Risk, which...
