Up to the 2007 crisis, research within bottom‐up CDO models mainly concentrated on the dependence between defaults. However, due to the substantial increase in the market price of systemic credit risk protection, more attention has been paid to recovery rate assumptions.In this paper, we focus...

Reformulating the results of del Baño Rollin, Ferreiro-Castilla, and Utzet (2010), we are able to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the moments of the stock price to exist and extend Theorem 2.1 of Forde and Jacquier (2011). Precisely Forde and Jacquier (2011) provide necessary...

This note identifies a gap in the proof of Corollary 2.4 in [2], which arises because the essential smoothness of the family (Xt/t) can fail for the log-spot process X in the Heston model, and describes how to circumvent the issue by applying a standard argument from large deviation theory

This paper presents a switching regime version of the Merton's structural model for the pricing of default risk. The default event depends on the total value of the firm's asset modeled by a Markov modulated Lévy process. The novelty of our approach is to consider that firm's asset jumps...

This paper reconsiders the predictions of the standard option pricing models in the context of incomplete markets. We relax the completeness assumption of the Black-Scholes (1973) model and as an immediate consequence we can no longer construct a replicating portfolio to price the option....

In this paper we study the stochastic area swept by a regular time-homogeneous diffusion till a stopping time. This unifies some recent literature in this area. Through stochastic time change we establish a link between the stochastic area and the stopping time of another associated...

We revisit well-known stochastic volatility models with constant coefficients for single asset driven by one factor stochastic volatility as homogeneous diffusion and demonstrate an alternative to the classifications provided in Albanese and Lawi, and Henry-Labord`ere, to deduce asset price...

The risky assets prices of the bi-variate model are reviewed under the hegemonize concentration filtered physical probability space. In the stochastic variance of the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process. The Mean-variance hedging expanse on the Föllmer-Schweizer decomposition is stringent to the...

In this paper, we introduce an extension to the LIBOR Market model that is suitable to incorporate both sudden market shocks as well as changes in the overall economic climate into the interest rate dynamics. This is achieved by substituting the simple diffusion process of the original LIBOR...

We propose a novel Monte Carlo simulation method for two-dimensional stochastic differential equation (SDE) systems based on approximation through continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs). Specifically, we propose an efficient simulation framework for asset prices under general stochastic local...
