We provide a new method to derive the state price density per unit probabilitybased on option prices and GARCH model. We derive the risk neutraldistribution using the result in Breeden and Litzenberger (1978) and thehistorical density adapting the GARCH model of Barone-Adesi, Engle, andMancini...

This paper uses Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impact of noisy inputparameters on the accuracy of estimated portfolio credit risk. Assumptionsabout input quality are derived from the distribution of historical samplestatistics commonly used in default risk modelling. The resulting...

A unique indivisible commodity with an unknown common value is owned bygroup of individuals and should be allocated to one of them while compensating theothers monetarily. We study the so-called fair division game (Güth, Ivanova-Stenzel,Königstein, and Strobel (2002, 2005)) theoretically and...

This paper studies the distribution of the classical t-ratio with data generatedfrom distributions with no nite moments and shows how classical testing is affectedby bimodality. A key condition in generating bimodality is independenceof the observations in the underlying data generating process...

Although one may hope to achieve equality of stated profits withoutenforcing it, one may not trust in such voluntary equality seeking andrather try to impose rules (of bidding) guaranteeing it.[...]

The processing of data is often restricted by contractualand legal requirements for protecting privacy and IPRs. Policies pro-vide means to control how and by whom data is processed. Conditionsof policies may depend on the previous processing of the data. However,existing policy languages do not...

Most scientific publications on the subject of value chain management only analyze which structures,processes and actions can contribute to the creation of cooperation gains. How the distribution of cooperationgains that were collectively achieved can influence the stability of such a...

Several countries have recently abolished or significantly reduced their taxes on bequests.Bequest taxes, on the other hand, were among the first to be introduced when modernsystems of taxation were developed at the end of the nineteenth century. We propose anexplanation for these facts which is...
