This paper uses the method developed by Bollerslev and Todorov (2011b) to estimate risk premia for extreme events for … method to German data yields very similar results to the ones shown for the US data. The risk premia for rare events … constitute a considerable part of the total equity and variance risk premia for both markets. When using the results to build an …

This paper examines a simple basis risk model based on correlated geometric Brownian motions. We apply quadratic … criteria to minimize basis risk and hedge in an optimal manner. Initially, we derive the Föllmer–Schweizer decomposition for a … European claim. This allows pricing and hedging under the minimal martingale measure, corresponding to the local risk …
