A financial model is a model designed to represent in mathematical terms the relationships among the variables of a financial problem so that it can be used to make projections and/or answer ‘what if' questions. In particular, financial modeling can be combined with optimization modeling to...

The aim of this paper is to provide a modeling of capital transfer between a portfolio consisted by two assets. For this purpose we use the Arrhenius Equation, which is a modeling tool for the specific modeling. We provide a stochastic differential equation of the Arrhenuis equation. We consider...

Most finance textbooks talk about the benefits of conducting sensitivity and/or Monte Carlo simulation analyses in financial modeling, but mostly limit coverage to commenting on these techniques in passing. This is particularly true when it comes to simulation analysis, which typically requires...

This chapter discusses personal financial planning, which is an interdisciplinary practice that employs a six-step process to develop integrated strategies for individuals and families to efficiently mobilize their human and financial capital to achieve their life goals. Financial planning draws...

We introduce a notion of volatility uncertainty in discrete time and define the corresponding analogue of Pengs G-expectation. In the continuous-time limit, the resulting sublinear expectation converges weakly to the G-expectation. This can be seen as a Donsker-type result for the G-Brownian...

Value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) are popular risk measures from academic, industrial and regulatory perspectives. The problem of minimizing CVaR is theoretically known to be of a Neyman-Pearson type binary solution. We add a constraint on expected return to investigate...

We study the optimal accounting policy of a financially constrained firm that pledges assets to raise debt capital for financing a risky project. The accounting system provides information about the value of the collateral. Absent accounting regulation, the optimal accounting system is...

First developed by Markowitz (1952), the mean-variance framework is the most widespread theoretical approximation to the portfolio problem. Nevertheless, successful application in the investment community has been limited. Assumptions such as normality of returns and a static correlation matrix...
