The paper deals with definition of supremal sets in a rather general framework where deterministic and random preference relations (preorders) and partial orders are defined by continuous multi-utility representations. It gives a short survey of the approach developed in [4], [5] with some new...

When dealing with non linear trading costs, e.g. fixed costs, the usual tools from convex analysis are inadequate to characterize an absence of arbitrage opportunity as the mathematical model is no more convex. An unified approach is to describe a financial market model by a liquidation value...

In this paper, we propose an approximation method based on Picard iterations deduced from the Doléans–Dade exponential formula. Our method allows to approximate trajectories of Markov processes in a large class, e.g. solutions to non-Lipchitz SDEs. An application to the pricing of Asian-style...

We study the criteria of robust absence of arbitrage opportunity (RNA2) of the second kind as initially introduced by Rasony M. in the case of a continuous-time and infinite dimensional financial market model with proportional transaction costs allowing for bond market modeling. Robust no...

The seminal Modigliani-Miller (1958) theorem is a cornerstone of corporate finance theory. It provides conditions under which changes in a firm's capital structure do not affect its fundamental value. A recent controversial debate around the relevancy of the Modigliani-Miller theorem regarding...

The classical discrete time model of transaction costs relies on the assumption that the increments of the feasible portfolio process belong to the solvency set at each step. We extend this setting by assuming that any such increment belongs to the sum of an element of the solvency set and the...

For several decades, the no-arbitrage (NA) condition and the martingale measures have played a major role in the financial asset's pricing theory. Here, we propose a new approach based on convex duality instead of martingale measures duality: our prices will be expressed using Fenchel conjugate...

We present a general financial market model defined by a liquidation value process. This approach generalizes the conic models of Schachermayer and Kabanov where the transaction costs are proportional to the exchanged volumes of traded assets. This allows to consider financial market models...

This article derives a model of self-regulation where banks issue insurance products to hedge their leverage ratio. This approach is an alternative policy to Basel regulation for controlling systemic risk without increasing equity level. We show some conditions under which the model can be...

The capital structure of banks has become the focus of an extended debate among policymakers, regulators and academics. The seminal Modigliani-Miller (1958) theorem is seen as supportive of regulators' drive to require higher equity capital to banks. This raises the question on to what extent...
