This paper is part of author's Master Thesis Chaos in emerging capital market: an empirical study on the Jakarta Stock Exchange. Some evidences of the existence of chaotic system proved by chaos researches on the developed market as conducted by some researchers strongly motivate us to try to...

An enhanced option pricing framework that makes use of both continuous and discontinuous time paths based on a geometric Brownian motion and Poisson-driven jump processes respectively is performed in order to better fit with real-observed stock price paths while maintaining the analytical...

In this paper, we develop a new nonparametric approach for estimating the risk-neutral density of asset price and reformulate its estimation into a double-constrained optimization problem. We implement our approach in R and evaluate it using the S&P 500 market option prices from 1996 to 2015. A...

We propose a consistent and computationally efficient 2-step methodology for the estimation of multidimensional non-Gaussian asset models built using Lévy processes. The proposed framework allows for dependence between assets and different tail-behaviors and jump structures for each asset. Our...

This paper provides a systematic investigation of the relative performance between the two mainstream portfolio optimisation methods: mean-variance and mean-Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Using portfolios representing the entire US stock...

We describe how networks based on information theory can help measure and visualize systemic risk, enhance diversification, and help price assets. To do this, we first define a distance measure based on the mutual information between asset pairs and use this measure in the construction of...

The properties of an iterative procedure for the estimation of the parameters of an ARFIMA process are investigated in a Monte Carlo study. The estimation procedure is applied to stock returns data for 15 countries

Hedging of illiquid financial instruments is carried out with liquid instruments that, as a rule, have simpler payoff functions. For example, hedging of Asian or long-dated put options is carried out with vanilla puts, hedging of Bermuda swaptions is done with vanilla swaptions, etc. This kind...

The recent analytical closed-form result ('http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033' http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549033) discovered by Market Memory Trading L.L.C. (“MMT”) for the probability density function of the European style options with stochastic volatility, considered within the Heston model,...
