We construct a dynamical credit model that can be calibrated exactly to CDS quotes. Modelling the default time as the first-passage time of a credit index process to the level zero, we show that the parameters of this credit index process can be chosen such that the risk-neutral (implied)...

We present a new numerical method to price vanilla options in time-changed Brownian motion models quickly. The method is based on rational function approximations of the Black-Scholes formula. Detailed numerical results are given for a number of widely used models. In particular, we use the...

Probability distortions for constructing nonlinear G-expectations for the bid and ask or lower and upper prices in continuous time are here extended to the direct use of measure distortions. Fairly generally measure distortions can be constructed as probability distortions applied to an...

Static and discrete time pricing operators for two price economies are reviewed and then generalized to the continuous time setting of an underlying Hunt process. The continuous time operators define nonlinear partial integro-differential equations that are solved numerically for the three...

With an interest in keeping the cost of carry at acceptable levels for the expression of a positive or negative view on an equity asset over the longer term, a variation to equity default swaps is introduced that fixes the barrier at a given quantile. The barrier level for the stock price then...

A positive spot rate model driven by a gamma process and correlated to equity is introduced and calibrated via closed forms for the joint characteristic function for the rate r, its integral y and the logarithm of the stock price s under the T-forward measure. The law of the triple (r,y,s) is...
