In this paper, we propose two practicable approaches for consistently modelling the realworld and risk-neutral measures within cross-asset Monte-Carlo frameworks. We go on to explore the necessity of supporting the real-world measure and consider its calibration with the aid of an explicit...

We analyse cointegration in commodity markets, and propose a parametric class of pricing measures which preserves cointegration for forward prices with fixed time to maturity. We present explicit expressions for the term structure of volatility and correlation in the context of our spot price...

We propose to use the transformed densities introduced in [1] to parametrise volatility smiles. We derive closed form formulas for European options to allow for an effective computation of implied volatilities

Longevity Risk becomes an important challenge in the recent Year because of the decreases in the mortality rates and the rising in the life expectancy through the decades. In this article, we propose a consistent multi-factor dynamics affine mortality model to the longevity risk modeling, we...

Option pricing is the most elemental challenge of mathematical finance. Knowledge of the prices of options at every strike is equivalent to knowing the entire pricing distribution for a security, as derivatives contingent on the security can be replicated using options. The available data may be...

We derive robust good-deal hedges and valuations under combined model ambiguity about the drift and volatility of asset prices for incomplete markets. Good-deal valuations are determined such that not just opportunities for arbitrage but also for overly attractive reward-to-risk ratios are...

We propose a non-structural method to retrieve the risk-neutral density (RND) impliedby options on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). The methodology is based on orthogonalpolynomial expansions around a kernel density and yields the RND of the underlyingasset without the need for a parametric...

We model dynamic credit portfolio dependence by using default contagion in an intensity-based framework. Two different portfolios (with 10 obligors), one in the European auto sector, the other in the European financial sector, are calibrated against their market CDS spreads and the corresponding...

We value CDS spreads and k-th-to-default swap spreads in a tractable shot noise model. The default dependence is modelled by letting the individual jumps of the default intensity be driven by a common latent factor. The arrival of the jumps is driven by a Poisson process. By using conditional...
