<title>Abstract</title>In this paper, we introduce tractable dynamic models for financial variables (such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, etc.) with capturing both jump risk and boundedness of the price fluctuation in a regulated market. For the jump risk, we use a compound Poisson...

We propose a tractable model for the exchange rate in a target zone with realignment. The target zone exchange rate dynamics is assumed to obey a bounded regular diffusion with two-sided unattainable barriers. The realignment is modeled as a continuous-time two-state Markov chain. Under the...

In this paper, we consider a portfolio optimization problem in a defaultable market. The representative investor dynamically allocates his or her wealth among the following securities: a perpetual defaultable bond, a money market account and a default-free risky asset. The optimal investment and...
