We investigate risk averse agents who manage risk by trading financial securities in a market that we call a risk market. We assume this market is perfectly competitive and complete. When risk aversion is expressed using risk measures, the (bundle of) prices for financial securities turns out to...

Die Abhandlung zeigt für wiederholbare Prozesse eine universell anwendbare Ableitung eines Rechenalgorhithmus auf, mit dem unter Annahme einer Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung mögliche Plan-Istabweichungen und Aufallkosten zu einem Gleichgewicht und damit zu einem Ergebnisoptimunm führen....

We present a model of firm investment under uncertainty and partial irreversibility in which uncertainty is represented by a jump diffusion. This allows to represent both the continuous Gaussian volatility and the discontinuous uncertainty related to information arrival, sudden changes and large...

Discrete-time stochastic models of groundwater management have been extensively used for understanding a variety of issues in groundwater management for agriculture. Most models used suffer from two drawbacks: relatively simplistic treatment of extraction cost (remarked in many papers in the...

To analyze the economic significance of pricing errors of stock index options, a system of linear inequalities is developed which completely characterizes all risk arbitrage opportunities which arise if a well-behaved pricing kernel does not exist. The Stochastic Arbitrage system can account for...

Discrete-time stochastic models of management of groundwater resources have been extensively used for understanding a variety of issues in groundwater management for agriculture. Most models used suffer from two drawbacks: relatively simplistic treatment of the cost of water extraction (remarked...

The real options tradition originally predicted a decreasing relationship between uncertainty and investment, through the positive effect of higher uncertainty on the trigger level for revenue relative to costs. An opposing effect on the probability of reaching the level has been identified,...

The interest rate is generally considered as a monetary policy tool and, at the same time, via Tobin's q, as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the "hysteretic" impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic...

The interest rate is generally considered as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the "hysteretic" impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic investment under the scenarios of both certainty and uncertainty. We...
