We provide a structural approach to identify instantaneous causality effects between durations and stock price volatility. So far, in the literature, instantaneous causality effects have either been excluded or cannot be identified separately from Granger type causality effects. By giving...

Regulators often set value-at-risk (VaR) constraints to limit the portfolio risk of institutional investors. For some investors, notably pension funds, the VaR constraint is enforced over a horizon which is significantly shorter than the investment horizon of the investor. Our paper aims to...

Integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) processes have been introduced to model nonnegative integervalued phenomena that evolve in time.The distribution of an INAR(p) process is determined by two parameters: a vector of survival probabilities and a probability distribution on the nonnegative...

In this paper we reconsider the pricing of options in incomplete continuous time markets.We first discuss option pricing with idiosyncratic stochastic volatility.This leads, of course, to an averaged Black-Scholes price formula.Our proof of this result uses a new formalization of idiosyncraticy...

This paper considers integer-valued autoregressive processes where the autoregression parameter is close to unity.We consider the asymptotics of this `near unit root' situation.The local asymptotic structure of the likelihood ratios of the model is obtained, showing that the limit experiment is...

We examine incomplete annuity menus and background risk as possible drivers of divergence from full annuitization. Contrary to what is often suggested in the literature, we find that full annuitization remains optimal if saving is possible after retirement. This holds irrespective of whether...

At the heart of the copula methodology in statistics is the idea of separating marginal distributions from the dependence structure. However, as shown in this paper, this separation is not to be taken for granted: in the model where the copula is known and the marginal distributions are...
