In this paper, we explain why a nonparametric approach based on a betakernel [Renault, Scaillet (2004)] will lead to significant bias when appliedto recovery rate distributions. This is due to a specific feature of thesedistributions, which admit strictly positive weights at 100 %...

Council Regulation (EC) 1/2003 came into force on the 1st of May 2004 replacing themandatory notification of agreements between firms by a regime of ex post monitoring.This paper provides a theoretical justification for this shift based on the competitionauthority’s accuracy of judgement. We...

We consider the problems of derivative pricing and inference when the stochastic discount factor has an exponentialaffineform and the geometric return of the underlying asset has a dynamics characterized by a mixture of conditionallyNormal processes. We consider both the static case in which the...

We consider stochastic nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations driven byan additive noise. The noise is fractional in time with Hurst parameter H in(0, 1). It is also colored in space and the space correlation operator is assumed tobe nuclear. We study the local well-posedness of the equation. Under...
