Published / Preprint: Fitting a distribution to Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall, with an application to covered bonds. (arXiv:1505.07484v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 28 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Covered bonds are a specific example of senior secured debt. If the issuer of the bonds defaults the proceeds of the assets in the cover pool are used for their debt service. If in this situation the cover pool proceeds do not suffice for the debt service, the creditors of the bonds have recourse to the issuer's assets and their claims are pari passu with the claims of the creditors of senior...

Published / Preprint: Optimal Stopping with Random Maturity under Nonlinear Expectations. (arXiv:1505.07533v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 28 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We analyze an optimal stopping problem with random maturity under a nonlinear expectation with respect to a weakly compact set of mutually singular probabilities $\mathcal{P}$. The maturity is specified as the hitting time to level $0$ of some continuous index process at which the payoff process is even allowed to have a positive jump. When $\mathcal{P}$ is a collection of semimartingale...

Published / Preprint: An analytic recursive method for optimal multiple stopping: Canadization and phase-type fitting. (arXiv:1505.07705v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 28 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We study an optimal multiple stopping problem for call-type payoff driven by a spectrally negative Levy process. The stopping times are separated by constant refraction times, and the discount rate can be positive or negative. The computation involves a distribution of the Levy process at a constant horizon and hence the solutions in general cannot be attained analytically. Motivated by the...
