This thesis presents our study on using the hybrid stochastic-local volatility model for option pricing. Many researchers have demonstrated that stochastic volatility models cannot capture the whole volatility surface accurately, although the model parameters have been calibrated to replicate...

This study examines the effects of profit-sharing on honesty in managerial reporting. While profit-sharing plans are widely used, there remains a need for understanding how profit-sharing plans affect honesty in managerial reporting. We investigate two commonly observed profit-sharing plans...

We examine theoretically and experimentally how combining between-team and within-team incentives affects behavior in team tournaments. Theory predicts that free-riding is likely to occur when there are only between-team incentives, and offering within-team incentives may solve this problem....

The main aim of the thesis is to formulate a concept of liquidity risk and to incorporate liquidity risk in market risk measurement. We first review two types of liquidity risk and the relation between liquidity risk and market risk. To achieve our aim, we use a new framework of portfolio theory...

In this paper, we present our research on pricing window barrier options under a hybrid stochastic-local volatility (SLV) model in the foreign exchange (FX) market. Due to the hybrid effect of the local volatility and stochastic volatility components of the model, the SLV model can reproduce the...
