Published / Preprint: Small-time expansions for state-dependent local jump-diffusion models with infinite jump activity. (arXiv:1505.04459v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

In this article, we consider a Markov process X, starting from x and solving a stochastic differential equation, which is driven by a Brownian motion and an independent pure jump component exhibiting state-dependent jump intensity and infinite jump activity. A second order expansion is derived for the tail probability P[X(t)>x+y] in small time t, for y>0. As an application of this expansion...

Published / Preprint: Remarks on equality of two distributions under some partial orders. (arXiv:1505.04485v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

In this note we establish some appropriate conditions for stochastic equality of two random variables/vectors which are ordered with respect to convex ordering or with respect to supermodular ordering. Multivariate extensions of this result are also considered.

Published / Preprint: On the Failures of Bonus Plans. (arXiv:1505.04587v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

A decision maker (DM) has some funds invested through two investment firms. She wishes to allocate additional funds according to the firms' earnings. The DM, on the one hand, tries to maximize the total expected earnings, while the firms, on the other hand, try to maximize the overall expected funds they manage. In this paper we prove that, for every market, the DM has an optimal bonus policy...

Published / Preprint: The efficiency of Anderson-Darling test with limited sample size: an application to Backtesting Counterparty Credit Risk internal model. (arXiv:1505.04593v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

This work presents a theoretical and empirical evaluation of Anderson-Darling test when the sample size is limited. The test can be applied in order to backtest the risk factors dynamics in the context of Counterparty Credit Risk modelling. We show the limits of such test when backtesting the distributions of an interest rate model over long time horizons and we propose a modified version of the...

Published / Preprint: Chebyshev Interpolation for Parametric Option Pricing. (arXiv:1505.04648v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Function approximation with Chebyshev polynomials is a well-established and thoroughly investigated method within the field of numerical analysis. The method enjoys attractive convergence properties and its implementation is straightforward. We propose to apply tensorized Chebyshev interpolation to computing Parametric Option Prices (POP). This allows us to exploit the recurrent nature of the...

Published / Preprint: Modelling Annuity Portfolios and Longevity Risk with Extended CreditRisk+. (arXiv:1505.04757v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 18 May 2015 05:37 PM PDT

Using an extended version of the credit risk model CreditRisk$^+$, we develop a flexible framework to estimate stochastic life tables and to model credit, life insurance and annuity portfolios, including actuarial reserves. Deaths are driven by common stochastic risk factors which may be interpreted as death causes like neoplasms, circulatory diseases or idiosyncratic components. Our approach...
