We consider an investor maximizing his expected utility from terminal wealth with portfolio decisions based on the available information flow. This investor faces the opportunity to acquire some additional initial information ${\cal G}$. His subjective fair value of this information is defined...

Asset prices discounted by a tradable numeraire N should be (local) martingales under some measure Q that is equivalent to the original probability measure P. Instead of studying the set of equivalent martingale measures with respect to a prespecified numeraire, we will look for a tradable...

We develop a generic method for constructing a weak static minimum variance hedge for a wide range of derivatives that may involve optimal exercise features or contingent cash flow streams to provide a hedge along a sequence of future hedging dates. The optimal hedge is constructed using a...

We develop a multilevel approach to compute approximate solutions to backward differential equations (BSDEs). The fully implementable algorithm of our multilevel scheme constructs sequential martingale control variates along a sequence of refining time-grids to reduce statistical approximation...
