We study optimal stopping with exponentially distributed exercise lag. We formalize the problem first in a general Markovian setting and derive a set of conditions under which the solution exists. In particular, no semicontinuity assumptions of the payoff function are needed. We analyze also...

The objective of this study is to provide an alternative characterization of the optimal value function of a certain Black–Scholes-type optimal stopping problem where the underlying stochastic process is a general random walk, i.e. the process constituted by partial sums of an IID sequence of...

We study valuation of swing options on commodity markets when the commodity prices are driven by multiple factors. The factors are modeled as diffusion processes driven by a multidimensional Lévy process. We set up a valuation model in terms of a dynamic programming problem where the option can...

We develop a general approach to portfolio optimization in futures markets. Following the Heath–Jarrow–Morton (HJM) approach, we model the entire futures price curve at once as a solution of a stochastic partial differential equation. We also develop a general formalism to handle portfolios...
