The study conducts an empirical test on dollar-denominated sovereign credit spreads in emerging markets, including Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, and Turkey to examine their relationship with each country's exchange rate and the United States (US) Treasury...

This paper develops a corporate bond pricing model following the structural approach in which the dynamics of the instantaneous risk-free interest rate are governed by a double square-root (DSR) process. Credit spreads generated from this pricing model depend explicitly upon the levels of...

We derive the Bitcoin exchange rate dynamics by solving the exchange rate equation of the standard flexible-price monetary model to investigate any characteristics of Bitcoin like a currency. The dynamics is driven by an asymmetric mean-reverting fundamental shock which can be attributed to a...

Our paper presents a crude oil price model in which the price is confined in a wide moving band. A price crash occurs when the price breaches the lower boundary where a smooth-pasting condition is imposed. Using an asymmetric mean-reverting fundamental (supply/demand) shock, the solution derived...

We have provided a rigorous derivation of the asymmetric mean-reverting fundamental dynamics proposed by Lo and coworkers (2015) for target-zone exchange rates, and have shown that the proposed fundamental dynamics is the unique choice and described by the Rayleigh process. By analogy, such a...
