We look at the problem of pricing CoCo bonds where the underlying risky asset dynamics are given by a smile conform model, more precisely an exponential Lévy process incorporating jumps and heavy tails. A core mathematical quantity that is needed in closed form in order to produce an exact...

In this paper the authors introduce the new concept of implied liquidity on the basis of the recent developed two-way price theory (conic finance). Implied liquidity isolates and quantifies in a fundamental way liquidity risk in financial markets. It is shown on real market option data on the...

Contingent Convertibles (“CoCos”) are contingent capital instruments which convert into shares, or have a principal write down, if a trigger event takes place. CoCos exhibit the undesirable so-called death-spiral effect: by actively hedging the equity risk, investors can (unintentionally)...

Except for the geometric Brownian model and the geometric Poissonian model, the general geometric Lévy market models are incomplete models and there are many equivalent martingale measures. In this paper we suggest to enlarge the market by a series of very special assets (power-jump assets)...
