Many industries use dynamic pricing on an operational level to maximize revenue from selling a fixed capacity over a finite horizon. Classical risk-neutral approaches do not accommodate the risk aversion often encountered in practice. We add to the scarce literature on risk aversion by...

We exploit a unique sample of structured financial products (SFPs) to analyze pricing and issuance dependencies among different types of such market-linked investment vehicles. Our study provides evidence of cross pricing between products with complementary payoff profiles. Such dependencies may...

Fund trades and prices vary systematically with the quarterly reporting cycle. Funds are more likely to complete the building of a position at quarter-end, which is when most funds report positions to investors, and begin building new positions afterwards. While some of the observed shift in...

The price of a financial claim at a fixed time can represented by a random variable H.In an incomplete market H can be approximated by a trading strategy known as minimum variance hedging. Minimum variance hedging can be extended to a mean-variance optimal strategy where a riskier trading...
