It is well known that the Wang transform [Wang, S.S., 2002. A universal framework for pricing financial and insurance risks. Astin Bull. 32, 213-234] for the pricing of financial and insurance risks is derived from Bühlmann's economic premium principle [Bühlmann, H., 1980. An economic premium...

We consider a consistent pricing model of government bonds, interest-rate swaps and basis swaps in one currency within the no-arbitrage framework. To this end, we propose a three yield-curve model, one for discounting cash flows, one for calculating LIBOR deposit rates and one for calculating...

This paper proposes an efficient model for the term structure of interest rates when the interest rate takes very small values. We make the following choices: (i) we model the short-term interest rate, (ii) we assume that once the interest rate reaches zero, it stays there and we have to wait...

We consider the valuation of simple and compound Ratchet equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) in the presence of stochastic interest rates. We assume that the equity index follows a geometric Brownian motion and the short rate follows the extended Vasicek model. Under a given forward measure, we...

We advance a model of the tradable permit market and derive a pricing formula for contingent claims traded in the market in a general equilibrium framework. It is shown that prices of such contingent claims exhibit significantly different properties from those in the ordinary financial markets....

We propose a structural model with a joint process of tangible assets (marker) and firm status for the pricing of corporate securities. The firm status is assumed to be latent or unobservable, and default occurs when the firm status process reaches a default threshold at the first time. The...

Stochastic orders and inequalities are very useful tools in various areas of economics and finance. The purpose of this paper is to describe main results obtained so far by using the idea of stochastic orders in financial optimization. Especially, the emphasis is placed on the demand and shift...
