This paper considers the application of multiple interest rate analysis to a model of the production of commodities by means of commodities. A polynomial, for the characteristic equation of the augmented input-output matrix, is used in defining the rate of profits in such a model. Only one root...

The developed economies of Japan, the United States, and the Eurozone are currently experiencing very low short-term rates, so low that they are considered to be at the “zero lower bound” of possibility. This effectively paralyzes conventional monetary policy. As a consequence, monetary...

The author's study analyzes, loan valuation methods using discrete time model of contingent claims analysis. In the empirical test, the undiversifiable risk was measured by the correlation coefficient of one borrower with the average return of all borrowers. The results of the test supported the...

We develop a general equilibrium model of interest rates based on a continuous-time production economy populated by heterogeneous shareholders with logarithmic preferences. It allows us to study the impact of belief heterogeneity on bonds, the risk-free rate, and the yield curve. In particular,...

Many corporate commitments exhibit a combined financial exposure to both market prices and idiosyncratic size components (e.g., volume, load, or business turnover). We design a customized contract to optimally mitigate the risk of joint fluctuations in price and size terms. The hedge is sought...

We consider the problem of designing a financial instrument aimed at mitigating the joint exposure to random price and volume delivery fluctuations of energy-linked commitments. We formulate a functional optimization problem over a set of regular pay-off functions: one is written on energy...

The duration of a bond approximately measures the interest rate risk caused by parallel shifts of the yield curve. This … paper uses a generalization of the duration suggested by Diebold et al. (2006a), that takes the variations of the level, the … into account the approach considered here is very intuitive as it is similar to the classical duration. A case study …

Because of the uncertainty about how to model the growth process of our economy, there is still much confusion about which discount rates should be used to evaluate actions having long-lasting impacts, as in the contexts of climate change, social security reforms or large public infrastructures...
