In this study, a mathematical model of proof-of-work cryptocurrency valuation is developed based on the concepts of simultaneous equilibria in two mining games, the purchasing power parity in the system of equations of exchange and the network effects of transaction cost optimisation in the...

After the global financial crisis, the yields of U.S. Treasury bills frequently exceed other risk-free rate benchmarks, thereby pointing to a diminishing convenience premium. Moreover, increases in market uncertainty (measured by VIX), increase Treasury yields instead of triggering flights to...

We introduce and analyze a new market design for trading financial assets. The design allows traders to directly trade any user-defined linear combination of assets. Orders for such portfolios are expressed as downward-sloping piecewise-linear demand curves with quantities as flows...

A new alternative diffusion model for asset price movements is presented. In contrast to the popular approach of Brownian motion it proposes deterministic diffusion for the modelling of stock price movements. These diffusion processes are a new area of physical research and can be created by the...

Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous time model. Two ordinally equivalent versions are considered. The state price is not Markov in any of the versions,...

Option-implied risk-neutral densities incorporate market expectations with respect to the future course of option underlyings. Under the risk neutrality assumption various methods have been developed. In this paper, we look into two of them: parametric mixture of lognormals method and...

Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous time model. We consider the version of recursive utility which gives the most unambiguous separation of risk...

We study the recursive model of Epstein and Zin. We use directional derivatives to derive the model, and calibrate to the data of Mehra and Prescott (1985). By assuming that we can view income streams as dividends of some shadow asset, the model is valid if the market portfolio is expanded to...
