In general, the properties of the conditional distribution of multiple period returns do not follow easily from the one-period data generating process. This renders computation of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall for multiple period returns a non-trivial task. In this paper we consider some...

Much of the trading activity in Equity markets is directed to brokerage houses. In exchange they provide so-called quot;soft dollarsquot; which basically are amounts spent in quot;researchquot; for identifying profitable trading opportunities. Soft dollars represent about USD 1 out of every USD...

Large e-commerce retailers and department stores function as marketplaces for millions of sellers, and consumers rely on the platform's assortment and display decisions to examine different sellers and make purchase decisions. Traditionally, the primary objective of these marketplaces for...

Mathematical programming (MP) is a widespread approach to depict production and investment decisions of agents in agent-based models (ABM) related to agriculture. However, introducing dynamics and indivisibilities in MP models renders their solution computing time intensive. We present a...

This paper studies optimal task assignments in a setting where agents are expectation-based loss averse according to KoszegiRabin (2006) and KoszegiRabin (2007) and are compensated according to an aggregated performance measure in which tasks are technologically independent. We show that the...

This paper considers a multi-agent optimal investment problem with conservative sentiments in an incomplete market by a BSDE approach. Particularly, we formulate the conservative sentiments of the agents by a sup-inf/inf-sup problem where we take infimum on a choice of a probability measure and...
