Within the structural approach for credit risk models we discuss the optimal exercise of the callable and convertible bonds. The Vasiček-model is applied to incorporate interest rate risk into the firm’s value process which follows a geometric Brownian motion. Finally, we derive pricing...

Within a default intensity approach we discuss the optimal exercise of the callable and convertible bonds. Pricing bounds for convertible bonds are derived in an uncertain volatility model, i.e. when the volatility of the stock price process lies between two extreme values.

We argue that monetary policies in euro-candidate countries should also aim at mitigating excessive instability of the key target and instrument variables of monetary policy during turbulent market periods. Our empirical tests show a significant degree of leptokurtosis, thus prevalence of...

Dauguma šiuolaikinių finansų valdymo ir investicijų mokslinių darbų akcentuoja finansinės rizikos valdymo svarbą finansinių institucijų veiklai. Augančioje finansų rinkoje aktyviais dalyviais tampa įmonės, kurių ilgalaikei sėkmei įtakos turi finansinių lėšų valdymas....

Global financial crisis has exposed borrowers to substantially increased interest rate risk and motivated them to search for ways to insure against it. Unfortunately, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often do not have access to interest rate derivatives, which leaves the question: how can...

This paper analyzes the contagion effects associated with the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and identifies bank-specific vulnerabilities contributing to the subsequent declines in banks' stock returns. We find that uninsured deposits, unrealized losses in held-to-maturity securities, bank...

This paper uses a multifactor model to examine the role of crude oil as a pricing factor in Australian excess industry returns over the period January 1980 to August 2006. A dynamic model is also specified to provide insights into the relationship between the stock market and past oil price...
