Published / Preprint: Numerical analysis on local risk-minimization forexponential L\'evy models. (arXiv:1506.03898v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 14 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We illustrate how to compute local risk minimization (LRM) of call options for exponential L\'evy models. We have previously obtained a representation of LRM for call options; here we transform it into a form that allows use of the fast Fourier transform method suggested by Carr & Madan. In particular, we consider Merton jump-diffusion models and variance gamma models as...

Published / Preprint: On the Characteristics of the Free Market in a Cooperative Society. (arXiv:1506.03917v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 14 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

The key characteristic of a true free market economy is that exchanges are entirely voluntary. When there is a monopoly in the creation of currency as we have in today's markets, you no longer have a true free market. Features of the current economic system such as central banking and taxation would be nonexistent in a free market. This paper examines how currency monopoly leads to the...

Published / Preprint: Optimal Skorokhod embedding under finitely-many marginal constraints. (arXiv:1506.04063v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 14 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

The Skorokhod embedding problem aims to represent a given probability measure on the real line as the distribution of Brownian motion stopped at a chosen stopping time. In this paper, we consider an extension of the optimal Skorokhod embedding problem to the case of finitely-many marginal constraints. Using the classical convex duality approach together with the optimal stopping theory, we obtain...

Published / Preprint: A risk management approach to capital allocation. (arXiv:1506.04125v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 14 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

The European insurance sector will soon be faced with the application of Solvency 2 regulation norms. It will create a real change in risk management practices. The ORSA approach of the second pillar makes the capital allocation an important exercise for all insurers and specially for groups. Considering multi-branches firms, capital allocation has to be based on a multivariate risk modeling....
