March 2020 packed 2 ½ years of normal U.S. stock market volatility into one month, making it the most volatile month on record. Daily variability clocked in at 6%, six times higher than the average over the past 90 years. How should an investor respond to such volatility? In this article we...

Many electricity markets exhibit an oligopolistic structure with market participants whose individual trading activities may shift prices essentially. In this context, the question of how to optimally liquidate an existing electricity futures portfolio over a fixed time horizon under the...

We study a class of endowment economies with long-run risks in which agents have generalized recursive smooth ambiguity preferences and heterogeneous beliefs. The expected growth rate of aggregate consumption consists of a persistent component. Agents cannot observe the component but learn about...

We study the pricing and hedging of derivative securities with uncertainty about the volatility of the underlying asset. Rather than taking all models from a prespecified class equally seriously, we penalise less plausible ones based on their "distance" to a reference local volatility model. In...

We develop a theory of equilibrium market volatility in a general equilibrium duopoly with complete information. The resulting economic system possesses a property, which can be described as ‘natural volatility' of markets, even if players have complete information.Economy is described as a...

This paper treats the risk-averse optimal portfolio problem with consumption in continuous time for a stochastic-jump-volatility, jump-diffusion (SJVJD) model of the underlying risky asset and the volatility. The new developments are the use of the SJVJD model with...

The concept of model uncertainty is one of increasing importance in the field of Mathematical Finance. The main goal of this work is to explore model uncertainty in the specific area of algorithmic and high frequency trading. From a behavioural perspective, model uncertainty naturally leads to...

We present a dynamic equilibrium model to understand differences and interactions between informational and trading speed advantages. The model is a stochastic asynchronous game, with endogenous trading decisions and non-cooperation among agents, in a limit order market. We show that welfare and...

Price impact measures the difference between the best quoted price and the realized price as a function of order size. This paper analyzes how price impact depends on the latency that a market maker is subject to. I propose a tractable model which allows incorporating both order size and latency...

We investigate financial markets under model risk caused by uncertain volatilities. For this purpose we consider a financial market that features volatility uncertainty. To have a mathematical consistent framework we use the notion of G-expectation and its corresponding G-Brownian motion...
