We consider the derivatives pricing problem in credit risk. By assessing a market price to the hedged risks and a Capital Asset Pricing Model price to the unhedged part, we derive a generalized pricing formula that nests both the classic “Capital Markets” and “Corporate Finance” models....

With increasing wind power penetration more and more volatile and weather dependent energy is fed into the German electricity system. To manage the risk of windless days and transfer revenue risk from wind turbine owners to investors wind power derivatives were introduced. These insurance-like...

We introduce the beta stochastic volatility model and discuss empirical features of this model and its calibration. This model is appealing because, first, its parameters can be easily understood and calibrated and, second, it produces steeper forward skews, compared to traditional stochastic...

It is common in the financial mathematics literature to start by fixing a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal F,\mathbb P)$, on which the underlying price process is defined. We depart from this route in that we do not fix the prior $\mathbb P$. Under very general assumptions, we recover the...

Traditional portfolio optimization models specify placement of capital as rather irrevocably and fully at risk through investment horizon(s) or continuously. Under this constraint, asset class allocation typically serves as primary mode of diversification, pursuing risk moderation by seeking to...

We examine in this paper the training and test set performance of several equity factor models with a dataset of 20 years of data, 1,200 stocks and 100 factors. First, we examine several models to forecast expected returns, which can be used as baselines for more complex models: linear...
