We propose a structural model for durations between events and (a vector of) associated marks, using a multivariate Brownian motion. Successive passage times of one latent Brownian component relative to random boundaries define durations. The other, correlated, Brownian components generate the...

We analyze a dynamic Asset Liability Management problem with model uncertainty in a complete market. The fund manager acts in the best interest of the pension holders by maximizing the expected utility derived from the terminal funding ratio. We solve the robust multi-period Asset Liability...

We establish the Local Asymptotic Normality (LAN) property for a class of parametric jump-diffusion processes with state-dependent intensity and known volatility function sampled at high-frequency. We prove that the inference problem about the drift and jump parameters is adaptive with respect...

For multivariate Gaussian copula models with unknown margins and structured correlation matrices, a rank-based, semiparametrically effi cient estimator is proposed for the Euclidean copula parameter. This estimator is defined as a one-step update of a rank-based pilot estimator in the direction...
