In this paper we present a Markov-Functional hybrid interest rate/foreign exchange model that allows calibration to given market volatility surfaces in both dimensions simultaneously. This is achieved by extending the approach introduced by Fries and Rott by a functional for the foreign exchange...

This paper highlights a framework for analysing dynamic hedging strategies under transaction costs. First, self-financing portfolio dynamics under transaction costs are modelled as being portfolio affine. An algorithm for computing the moments of the hedging error on a lattice under portfolio...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study focuses on banking book interest rate risk management, more specifically shortterminterest rate risk management problems. This type of risk is induced by the inflationtargeting policy of the South African Reserve Bank. As a result, inflation leads to an...

I exploit a natural experiment in South Korea to examine the real effects of macroprudential foreign exchange (FX) regulations designed to reduce risk-taking by financial intermediaries. By using crossbank variation in the regulation's tightness, I show that it causes a reduction in the supply...

The field of computational finance is evolving ever faster. This book collects a number of novel contributions on the use of computational methods and techniques for modelling financial asset prices, returns, and volatility, and on the use of numerical methods for pricing, hedging, and risk...

The purpose of the study is to examine whether the returns and volatility for Indian exchange rates possess non-linear dependence. Furthermore, an attempt is made through a rolling-window approach to check whether non-linear dependence is time-varying. The study employs approximate entropy...
