Published / Preprint: A Bayesian Beta Markov Random Field Calibration of the Term Structure of Implied Risk Neutral Densities. (arXiv:1409.1956v1 [stat.AP])

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT

We build on the work in Fackler and King 1990, and propose a more general calibration model for implied risk neutral densities. Our model allows for the joint calibration of a set of densities at different maturities and dates through a Bayesian dynamic Beta Markov Random Field. Our approach allows for possible time dependence between densities with the same maturity, and for dependence across...

Published / Preprint: Optimal investment with bounded above utilities in discrete time markets. (arXiv:1409.2023v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT

We consider an arbitrage-free, discrete time and frictionless market. We prove that an investor maximising the expected utility of her terminal wealth can always find an optimal investment strategy provided that her dissatisfaction of infinite losses is infinite and her utility function is non-decreasing, continuous and bounded above. The same result is shown for cumulative prospect theory...

Published / Preprint: Approximation of eigenvalues of spot cross volatility matrix with a view toward principal component analysis. (arXiv:1409.2214v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT

In order to study the geometry of interest rates market dynamics, Malliavin, Mancino and Recchioni [A non-parametric calibration of the HJM geometry: an application of It\^o calculus to financial statistics, {\it Japanese Journal of Mathematics}, 2, pp.55--77, 2007] introduced a scheme, which is based on the Fourier Series method, to estimate eigenvalues of a spot cross volatility matrix....

Published / Preprint: Optimal double stopping of a Brownian bridge. (arXiv:1409.2226v1 [math.OC])

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT

We study optimal double stopping problems driven by a Brownian bridge. The objective is to maximize the expected spread between the payoffs achieved at the two stopping times. We study several cases where the solutions can be solved explicitly by strategies of threshold type.

Published / Preprint: Theoretical Sensitivity Analysis for Quantitative Operational Risk Management. (arXiv:1104.0359v3 [q-fin.RM] UPDATED)

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:38 PM PDT

We study the asymptotic behavior of the difference between the values at risk VaR(L) and VaR(L+S) for heavy tailed random variables L and S for application in sensitivity analysis of quantitative operational risk management within the framework of the advanced measurement approach of Basel II (and III). Here L describes the loss amount of the present risk profile and S describes the loss amount...
