Published / Preprint: Recombining binomial tree for constant elasticity of variance process. (arXiv:1410.5955v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 05:40 PM PDT

The theme in this paper is the recombining binomial tree to price American put option when the underlying stock follows constant elasticity of variance(CEV) process. Recombining nodes of binomial tree are decided from finite difference scheme to emulate CEV process and the tree has a linear complexity. Also it is derived from the differential equation the asymptotic envelope of the boundary of...

Published / Preprint: The non-linear trade-off between return and risk: a regime-switching multi-factor framework. (arXiv:1410.6005v1 [q-fin.ST])

This study develops a multi-factor framework where not only market risk is considered but also potential changes in the investment opportunity set. Although previous studies find no clear evidence about a positive and significant relation between return and risk, favourable evidence can be obtained if a non-linear relation is pursued. The positive and significant risk-return trade-off is...

Democrats in the US say that taxes can be used to "grease the wheels" of the economy and create wealth enough to recover taxes and thereby increase employment; the Republicans say that taxation discourages investment and so increases unemployment. These arguments cannot both be correct, but both arguments seem meritorious. Faced with this paradox, one might hope that a rigorous mathematical...

Published / Preprint: Pricing of European Basket Call Option under Exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process. (arXiv:1410.6150v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 05:40 PM PDT

Pricing of European basket call option with n-assets and a bond is discussed in this paper, where all prices of n-assets and the bond are driven by Exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The close-form of European basket option pricing formula is derived. Utilizing with 1-order differential approximate numerical solution of stochastic differential equation (Milstein method), a simulation...
