Posted: 20 Feb 2013 12:59 AM PST

I need to correct one thing that I wrote yesterday: 3G and Berkshire Hathaway each own 50% of Heinz, once the transaction is done.Ă‚  I mistakenly thought that both sides were putting up equal amounts of capital, when they are only putting up equal amounts of common equity.read more...

A great deal of academic and theoretical work has been dedicated to optimal liquidation of large orders these last twenty years. The optimal split of an order through time (`optimal trade scheduling') and space (`smart order routing') is of high interest \rred{to} practitioners because of the increasing complexity of the market micro structure because of the evolution recently of regulations...

Published / Preprint: Collateral-Enhanced Default Risk. (arXiv:1302.4595v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 19 Feb 2013 05:31 PM PST

Changes in collateralization have been implicated in significant default (or near-default) events during the financial crisis, most notably with AIG. We have developed a framework for quantifying this effect based on moving between Merton-type and Black-Cox-type structural default models. Our framework leads to a single equation that emcompasses the range of possibilities,...

Published / Preprint: Numerical analysis of multilevel Monte Carlo path simulation using the Milstein discretisation. (arXiv:1302.4676v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 19 Feb 2013 05:31 PM PST

The multilevel Monte Carlo path simulation method introduced by Giles (Operations Research, 56(3):607-617, 2008) exploits strong convergence properties to improve the computational complexity by combining simulations with different levels of resolution. Previous research has analysed its efficiency when using the Euler-Maruyama discretisation, and also demonstrated its improved efficiency using...

Published / Preprint: All investors are risk averse expected utility maximizers. (arXiv:1302.4679v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 19 Feb 2013 05:31 PM PST

Assuming that agents' preferences satisfy first-order stochastic dominance, we show that the Expected Utility Paradigm can explain all rational investment choices. In particular, the optimal investment strategy in any behavioral law-invariant setting corresponds to the optimum for some risk averse expected utility maximizer whose concave utility function we derive explicitly. This result enables...
