This paper considers the behavior of the critical price for the American put in the exponential Lévy model when the underlying
stock pays dividends at a continuous rate. We prove the continuity of the free boundary and give a characterization of the
critical price at maturity, generalizing a recent result of S.Z. Levendorskiǐ (Int. J. Theor. Appl. Finance 7:303–336, 2004).

Easley et al. (J Finance 57:2185–2221, 2002), building upon the asset pricing model of Fama and French (J Finance 47:427–465, 1992), show that the probability of informed trading (PIN) is a determinant of asset returns for NYSE-listed securities. We extend
this work by examining whether the PIN is a predictive factor for NASDAQ stocks, as many studies document significant differences
between NYSE and NASDAQ listed securities. In the process we examine whether the use of PIN is appropriate for NASDAQ-listed
securities. We find that PIN and certain stock characteristics correlate differently for our sample of NASDAQ stocks than
that of Easley et al. sample of NYSE stocks. We also determine that the risk of informed trading is only weakly priced for
NASDAQ stocks. Contrary to Easley et al. we do not find evidence that excess returns increases as PIN increases. 相似文献

Using a comprehensive data set of funds-of-hedge funds, we extend the results of Fung et al. (J. Finance 63:1777–1803, 2008) (FHNR) with an augmented version of the Fung and Hsieh (Financ. Anal. J. 60:65–80, 2004a; J. Empir. Finance 18:547–569, 2004b) model to document performance characteristics from January 2005 to December 2010. We find that our sample period is divided
into three distinct subperiods: January 2005 to June 2007 (pre-subprime crisis); July 2007 to March 2009; and April 2009 to
December 2010 (post-credit crunch) during which the average fund of hedge funds delivered positive alpha only in the first
subperiod. We divide the funds of hedge funds sample into those who have alpha and the rest, which we call beta-only. The
empirical results show a dramatic decline in the population of alpha producing funds of hedge funds post 2008 compared to
the FHNR findings. When we repeat our analysis with a synthetic hedge fund index replicator, we find qualitatively similar
results. 相似文献

Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), as a portfolio-based financial product, have gained great popularity in financial
markets. This paper extends Childs, Ott and Riddiough’s (J Financ Quant Anal, 31(4), 581–603, 1996) model by proposing a copula-based methodology for pricing CMBS bonds. Default on underlying commercial mortgages within
a pool is a crucial risk associated with CMBS transactions. Two important issues associated with such default—extreme events
and default dependencies among the mortgages—have been identified to play crucial roles in determining credit risk in the
pooled commercial mortgage portfolios. This article pays particular attention to these two issues in pricing CMBS bonds. Our
results show the usefulness and potential of copula-based models in pricing CMBS bonds, and the ability of such models to
correctly price CMBS tranches of different seniorities. It is also important to sufficiently consider complex default dependence
structure and the likelihood of extreme events occurring in pricing various CMBS bonds. 相似文献

The Pearson distribution system is researched and applied to financial engineering (Nagahara, Financ Eng Jpn Mark 2(2):139–154
in 1995, Financ Eng Jpn Mark 3(2):121–149 in 1996, Stat Prob Lett 43:251–264 in 1999, J Time Ser Anal 24(6):721–738 in 2003, A method of fitting multivariate nonnormal distributions to financial data. Discussion paper of Institute of Social Sciences,
F-2006-2, Meiji University in 2006, Asia Pac Financial Markets 15(3–4):175–184 in 2008a). And a method of fitting multivariate nonnormal distributions by using random numbers from the Pearson distribution system
was developed (Nagahara, Comput Stat Data Anal 47(1):1–29 in 2004). This method uses the grid search of the parameters for the maximum likelihood. In this paper, we adopt Grid-Computing and
its middleware for the parameter sweep in order to reduce the computational time and the workload of this method. In the area
of the financial risk management, it is very important to analyze the relationship between stock returns in Japan and the
US. We analyze the data based on the same date and the following date because Japanese stock market opens before the US stock
market opens in a day. We compare these returns by means of the multivariate nonnormal distributions by using this method.
And we test the international transmission of stock markets movement. Furthermore, we obtain the optimal job schedule for
our computer system using the middleware in order to reduce the computational time. 相似文献

The main purpose of this paper is to modify the Jarrow and van Deventer model by using Das and Sundaram (Manag Sci 46:46–62,
2000) model to extend the Heath–Jarrow–Morton (J Finan Quant Anal 25:419–440, 1990) term-structure model to facilitate the consideration of default risks for pricing credit card loans. Furthermore, we derive
closed-form solutions within a continuous-time framework. In addition, we also provide a numerical method for the evaluation
of credit card loans within a discrete-time framework. Using the market segmentation argument to describe the characteristics
of the credit card industry, our simulation results show that the shapes of the forward rate and forward spread (default risk
premium) term structures play extremely important roles in determining the value of credit card loans. 相似文献

We propose a valuation method for financial assets subject to default risk, where investors cannot observe the state variable
triggering the default but observe a correlated price process. The model is sufficiently general to encompass a large class
of structural models and can be seen as a generalization of the model of Duffie and Lando (Econometrica 69:633–664, [2001]). In this setting we prove that the default time is totally inaccessible in the market’s filtration and derive the conditional
default probabilities and the intensity process. Finally, we provide pricing formulas for default-sensitive claims and illustrate
in particular examples the shapes of the credit spreads.

In this paper we present an alternative model for pricing exotic options and structured products with forward-starting components.
As presented in the recent study by Eberlein and Madan (Quantitative Finance 9(1):27–42, 2009), the pricing of such exotic
products (which consist primarily of different variations of locally/globally, capped/floored, arithmetic/geometric etc. cliquets)
depends critically on the modeling of the forward–return distributions. Therefore, in our approach, we directly take up the modeling of forward variances corresponding to the tenor
structure of the product to be priced. We propose a two factor forward variance market model with jumps in returns and volatility.
It allows the model user to directly control the behavior of future smiles and hence properly price forward smile risk of
cliquet-style exotic products. The key idea, in order to achieve consistency between the dynamics of forward variance swaps
and the underlying stock, is to adopt a forward starting model for the stock dynamics over each reset period of the tenor
structure. We also present in detail the calibration steps for our proposed model. 相似文献

In this paper, we study the pricing problem of multi-exercise options under volume constraints. The volume constraint is modelled
by an adapted process with values in the positive integers, which describes the maximal number of rights to be exercised at
a given time. We derive a representation of the marginal value of an additional nth right as a standard single stopping problem with a modified cash-flow process. This representation then leads to a dual
pricing formula, which generalizes a result by Meinshausen and Hambly (Math. Finance 14:557–583, 2004) from the standard multi-exercise option (with at most one right per time step) to general constraints. We also state an
explicit Monte Carlo algorithm for computing confidence intervals for the price of multi-exercise options under volume constraints
and present numerical results for the pricing of a swing contract in an electricity market. 相似文献

This study develops a transformed-trinomial approach for the valuation of contingent claims written on multiple underlying
assets. Our model is characterized by an extension of the Camara and Chung (J Futur Mark 26: 759–787, 2006) transformed-binomial model for pricing options with one underlying asset, and a discrete-time version of the Schroder (J
Finance 59(5): 2375–2401, 2004) model. However, unlike the Schroder model, our model can facilitate straightforward valuation of American-style multivariate
contingent claims. The major advantage of our transformed-trinomial approach is that it can easily tackle the volatility skew
observed within the markets. We go on to use numerical examples to demonstrate the way in which our transformed-trinomial
approach can be utilized for the valuation of multivariate contingent claims, such as binary options. 相似文献

We characterize the compensation demanded by investors in equilibrium for incremental exposure to growth-rate risk. Given
an underlying Markov diffusion that governs the state variables in the economy, the economic model implies a stochastic discount
factor process S. We also consider a reference growth process G that may represent the growth in the payoff of a single asset or of the macroeconomy. Both S and G are modeled conveniently as multiplicative functionals of a multidimensional Brownian motion. We consider the pricing implications
of parametrized family of growth processes G
ε
, with G
0=G, as ε is made small. This parametrization defines a direction of growth-rate risk exposure that is priced using the stochastic
discount factor S. By changing the investment horizon, we trace a term structure of risk prices that shows how the valuation of risky cash flows depends on the investment horizon. Using methods of Hansen
and Scheinkman (Econometrica 77:177–234, 2009), we characterize the limiting behavior of the risk prices as the investment horizon is made arbitrarily long. 相似文献

We study, in the framework of Back [Rev. Financial Stud. 5(3), 387–409 (1992)], an equilibrium model for the pricing of a defaultable zero coupon bond issued by a firm. The market consists of a risk-neutral
informed agent, noise traders, and a market maker who sets the price using the total order. When the insider does not trade,
the default time possesses a default intensity in the market’s view as in reduced-form credit risk models. However, we show
that, in equilibrium, the modelling becomes structural in the sense that the default time becomes the first time that some
continuous observation process falls below a certain barrier. Interestingly, the firm value is still not observable. We also
establish the no expected trade theorem that the insider’s trades are inconspicuous.

We consider the infinite-horizon optimal portfolio liquidation problem for a von Neumann–Morgenstern investor in the liquidity
model of Almgren (Appl. Math. Finance 10:1–18, 2003). Using a stochastic control approach, we characterize the value function and the optimal strategy as classical solutions
of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations. We furthermore analyze the sensitivities of the value function and
the optimal strategy with respect to the various model parameters. In particular, we find that the optimal strategy is aggressive
or passive in-the-money, respectively, if and only if the utility function displays increasing or decreasing risk aversion.
Surprisingly, only few further monotonicity relations exist with respect to the other parameters. We point out in particular
that the speed by which the remaining asset position is sold can be decreasing in the size of the position but increasing
in the liquidity price impact.

Under the assumption that the asset value follows a phase-type jump-diffusion, we show that the expected discounted penalty
satisfies an ODE and obtain a general form for the expected discounted penalty. In particular, if only downward jumps are
allowed, we get an explicit formula in terms of the penalty function and jump distribution. On the other hand, if the downward
jump distribution is a mixture of exponential distributions (and upward jumps are determined by a general Lévy measure), we
obtain closed-form solutions for the expected discounted penalty. As an application, we work out an example in Leland’s structural
model with jumps. For earlier and related results, see Gerber and Landry [Insur. Math. Econ. 22:263–276, 1998], Hilberink and Rogers [Finance Stoch. 6:237–263, 2002], Asmussen et al. [Stoch. Proc. Appl. 109:79–111, 2004], and Kyprianou and Surya [Finance Stoch. 11:131–152, 2007].

This paper extends the analysis of optimal income taxation under uncertainty studied by Cremer and Pestieau (International Tax and Public Finance, 3, 281–295, 1996). We introduce asymmetric information in the insurance market whereby private insurance companies cannot identify the risk
probability of the agents, and we examine its effect on public policy. We consider the separating equilibrium of Rothschild
and Stiglitz (Quarterly Journal of Economics, 90, 629–649, 1976) and Riley (Econometrica, 47, 331–359, 1979) where the low risk agent is only partially insured. The presence of the distortion in the insurance market changes the affinity
of labor, and in some cases, we show that the scope of redistribution and the resulting social welfare are higher under asymmetric
information than under full information. We also show that the increase in social insurance affects the utility and labor
incentive of the low risk type by relaxing the self-selection constraint in the insurance market. The policy implications
of the redistributive taxation and social insurance are analytically and numerically examined.

Swap spreads predicted by the traditional risk-neutral valuation models are much lower than the quoted market spreads for
property index linked swaps (Patel and Pereira, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 36:5–21, 2008). This paper attempts to develop a utility indifference-based model for evaluating the reservation spreads of swap receivers
and payers based on the principle of expected wealth utility equivalence rather than the traditional risk-neutral argument.
Under the proposed model framework, this paper addresses the determination of the swap spreads. When the incompleteness of
real estate markets and heterogeneity of representative agents are taken into consideration, it is shown that the agents’
risk preferences and heterogeneous beliefs about expected future property returns are the remarkable determinants for the
swap spreads. Our model also identifies market power and the settlement rules in the event of counterparty default as important
factors in determining the swap spreads. Our model provides a possible interpretation for the difference between the spreads
predicted by the traditional models and the actual market spreads. 相似文献

In this paper, several different static hedges of the option written on the last exit time are given. One of them was originally
presented in Akahori et al. (Methodol Comput Appl Probab 11(4): 661–668, 2009). Another one is derived from an expression in Madan et al. (Asia Pac Financ Mark 15(2): 97–115, 2008d). It is remarked in this paper that these static hedges are also obtained by applying a method in Carr and Chou (Hedging
complex barrier options, 2001). 相似文献

This paper investigates if bankruptcy of Japanese listed companies can be predicted using data from 1992 to 2005. We find
that the traditional measures, such as Altman’s (J Finance 23:589–609, 1968) Z-score, Ohlson’s (J Accounting Res 18:109–131, 1980) O-score and the option pricing theory-based distance-to-default, previously developed for the U.S. market, are also individually
useful for the Japanese market. Moreover, the predictive power is substantially enhanced when these measures are combined.
Based on the unique Japanese institutional features of main banks and business groups (known as Keiretsu), we construct a
new measure that incorporates bank dependence and Keiretsu dependence. The new measure further improves the ability to predict
bankruptcy of Japanese listed companies. 相似文献

This paper examines investors’ expectations of loss persistence. I develop a model to forecast loss firms’ future earnings
based on Joos and Plesko, The Accounting Review 80: 847–870, (2005). This model produces smaller forecast errors than two random walk models and a model that assumes losses are transitory.
The results suggest that investors do not fully distinguish the differences in loss persistence captured by the model and
instead appear to assume that all losses are transitory. Consequently, investors are surprised by future announcements of
negative earnings for firms with predicted persistent losses, and these firms experience significantly negative abnormal returns
over the following four quarters. Additional results indicate that the future negative returns of firms with predicted persistent
losses are smaller in magnitude when these firms are followed by analysts. The results are robust to controls for various
price anomalies and are not driven by short sale constraints. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a dual representation for the multiple stopping problem, hence multiple exercise options. As such,
it is a natural generalization of the method in Rogers (Math. Finance 12:271–286, 2002) and Haugh and Kogan (Oper. Res. 52:258–270, 2004) for the standard stopping problem for American options. We term this representation a ‘pure martingale’ dual as it is solely
expressed in terms of an infimum over martingales rather than an infimum over martingales and stopping times as in Meinshausen and Hambly (Math. Finance 14:557–583, 2004). For the multiple dual representation, we propose Monte Carlo simulation methods which require only one degree of nesting. 相似文献
