This paper specializes a number of earlier contributions to the theory of valuation of financial products in presence of credit risk, repurchase agreements and funding costs. Earlier works, including our own, pointed to the need of tools such as Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs)...

We examine the asymptotic behaviour of the call price surface and the associated Black-Scholes implied volatility surface in the small time to expiry limit under the condition of no arbitrage. In the final section, we examine a related question of existence of a market model with non-convergent...

The paper provides simple and rigorous, albeit fairly general, derivations of valuation formulae for credit default swaptions and credit default index swaptions. Results of this work cover as special cases the pricing formulae derived previously by Jamshidian [Finance and Stochastics 8 (2004)...

Since the 1970s, the LIBOR has served as a fundamental measure for floating term rates across multiple currencies and maturities. Loans and many derivative securities, including swaps, caps and swaptions, still rely on LIBOR as the reference forward-looking term rate. However, in 2017 the...

The note deals with the pricing of American options related to foreign market equities. the form of the early exercise premium representation of the American option's price in a stochastic interest rate economy is established. Subsequently, the American fixed exchange rate foreign equity option...

The innovative information-based framework for credit risk modeling, proposed recently by Brody, Hughston, and Macrina, is extended to a more general and practically important setup of random interest rates. We first introduce the market model, and we derive an explicit expression for...

The optimal smoothed linear estimate in the Kalman-Bucy model is found by the direct minimization method.
