We propose a way to compute the hedging Delta using the Malliavin weight method. Our approach, which we name the l-method, generally outperforms the standard Monte Carlo finite difference method, especially for discontinuous payoffs. Furthermore, our approach is nonparametric, as we only assume...

Our study examines the behavior of a risk-averse investor who faces two sources of uncertainty: a random asset price and inflation risk. Both sources of uncertainty make it difficult to stabilize consumption over time. However, investors can enter risk-sharing markets, such as futures markets,...

International and national investors are often exposed to real wealth risks, stemming from volatile asset prices and inflation uncertainty, making it difficult to stabilize consumption patterns. However, investors can enter futures markets to hedge against these risks. The paper develops a...

Bei der Altersvorsorge von Privatanlegern boomt in der derzeitigen Marktsituation die Vermarktung von Riesterverträgen. Verschiedene Anbieter versuchen, sich diesen Markt zu erschließen. Neben den Versicherungen haben auch Banken und Investmentgesellschaften Angebote auf den Markt gebracht. In...

The concept of best-estimate, prescribed by regulators to value insurance liabilities for accounting and solvency purposes, has recently been discussed extensively in the industry and related academic literature. To differentiate hedgeable and non-hedgeable risks in a general case, recent...

Although the finance literature has devoted a lot of research into the development of advanced models for improving the pricing and hedging performance, there has been much less emphasis on approaches to measure dynamic hedging effectiveness. This article discusses a statistical framework based...

Recent research shows that efforts to limit climate change should focus on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide over other greenhouse gases or air pollutants. Many countries are paying substantial attention to carbon emissions to improve air quality and public health. The largest source of...

We examine the impact of dynamic hedging demand of German option and discount certificate markets on the autocorrelation of German stock price changes. We theoretically model the demand of liquidity providers in the discount certificate market, a structured financial product with a concave...
