Blog Post: Falkenblog: The Easiest Way to Make Money

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 07:17 PM PDT

Former UBS banker Bradley Birkenfeld won $104m for exposing the giant Swiss bank’s effortsâ€"illegal in America but not in its home countryâ€"to help American taxpayers hide money in offshore accounts. I think the take-away is that any organization involved in large-scale illegalities should realize that the incentive to turn over insider evidence is huge now, and this should dissuade...

Published / Preprint: Sparsifying Defaults: Optimal Bailout Policies for Financial Networks in Distress. (arXiv:1209.3982v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 05:35 PM PDT

We assume the given prices do not admit arbitrage and deduce no-arbitrage bounds on the weighted variance swap along with super- and sub- replicating strategies which enforce them. We find that market quotes for variance swaps are surprisingly close to...

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 05:35 PM PDT

This paper investigates dividend optimization of an insurance corporation under a more realistic model which takes into consideration refinancing or capital injections.

Blog Post: WealthandCapitalMarketsBlog: US and European divergence in OTC derivatives trading

Posted: 18 Sep 2012 04:34 PM PDT

In travels to Europe last week, it became (even more) crystal clear that there is a major divergence between the US and Europe when it comes to OTC derivatives trading and clearing reforms.

The SEC and CFTC have been far more assertive in working to meet the G20 clearing goals (central clearing as opposed...
