This paper shows that the presence of conditional staging in R&D (Research & Development) has a critical impact on portfolio risk, and changes diversification arguments when a portfolio is constructed. When R&D projects exhibit option-like characteristics, correlation between projects plays a...

We present an application of importance sampling in a Monte Carlo simulation for multi-asset options and in a Multi …-Level Monte Carlo simulation. We demonstrate that applying importance sampling only on the first level of the Multi-Level Monte …. Moreover, we combine it with the importance sampling to reduce the variance of the Greeks. Finally, we study the impact of the …

We investigate changes in the time series characteristics of postwar U.S. inflation. In a model-based analysis the conditional mean of inflation is specified by a long memory autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average process and the conditional variance is modelled by a stochastic...
