Published / Preprint: Pricing and hedging of energy spread options and volatility modulated Volterra processes. (arXiv:1409.5801v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

We derive the price of a spread option based on two assets which follow a bivariate volatility modulated Volterra process dynamics. Such a price dynamics is particularly relevant in energy markets, modelling for example the spot price of power and gas. Volatility modulated Volterra processes are in general not semimartingales, but contain several special cases of interest in energy markets like...

Published / Preprint: Bounds on Portfolio Quality. (arXiv:1409.5936v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

The signal-noise ratio of a portfolio of p assets, its expected return divided by its risk, is couched as an estimation problem on the sphere. When the portfolio is built using noisy data, the expected value of the signal-noise ratio is bounded from above via a Cramer-Rao bound, for the case of Gaussian returns. The bound holds for `biased' estimators, thus there appears to be no bias-variance...

Published / Preprint: International trade network: fractal properties and globalization puzzle. (arXiv:1409.5963v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

Globalization is one of the central concepts of our age. The common perception of the process is that, due to declining communication and transport costs, distance becomes less and less important. However, the distance coefficient in the gravity model of trade, which grows in time, indicates that the role of distance increases rather than decreases. This, in essence, captures the notion of the...

Published / Preprint: Distance to the line in the Heston model. (arXiv:1409.6027v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

The main object of study in the paper is the distance from a point to a line in the Riemannian manifold associated with the Heston model. We reduce the problem of computing such a distance to certain minimization problems for functions of one variable over finite intervals. One of the main ideas in this paper is to use a new system of coordinates in the Heston manifold and the level sets...

Published / Preprint: Funding Value Adjustment and Incomplete Markets. (arXiv:1409.6093v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

Value adjustment of uncollateralized trades is determined within a risk-neutral pricing framework. When hedging such trades, investors cannot freely trade protection on their own name, thus facing an incomplete market. This fact is reflected in the non-uniqueness of the pricing measure, which is only constrained by the values of the hedging instruments tradable by the investor. Uncollateralized...

Published / Preprint: Optimal models of extreme volume-prices are time-dependent. (arXiv:1409.6257v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

We present evidence that the best model for empirical volume-price distributions is not always the same and it strongly depends in (i) the region of the volume-price spectrum that one wants to model and (ii) the period in time that is being modelled. To show these two features we analyze stocks of the New York stock market with four different models: Gamma, inverse-gamma, log-normal, and Weibull...

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 05:37 PM PDT

Financial contracts with options that allow the holder to extend the contract maturity by paying an additional fixed amount found many applications in finance. Closed-form solutions for the price of these options have appeared in the literature for the case when the contract underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with the constant interest rate, volatility, and non-negative...
