Published / Preprint: Invariance, existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear valuation PDEs and FBSDEs inclusive of credit risk, collateral and funding costs. (arXiv:1506.00686v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 02 Jun 2015 05:37 PM PDT

We study conditions for existence, uniqueness and invariance of the comprehensive nonlinear valuation equations first introduced in Pallavicini et al (2011). These equations take the form of semilinear PDEs and Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs). After summarizing the cash flows definitions allowing us to extend valuation to credit risk and default closeout, including...

Published / Preprint: Approximations of Bond and Swaption Prices in a Black-Karasi\'{n}ski Model. (arXiv:1506.00697v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 02 Jun 2015 05:36 PM PDT

We derive semi-analytic approximation formulae for bond and swaption prices in a Black-Karasi\'{n}ski interest rate model. Approximations are obtained using a novel technique based on the Karhunen-Lo\`{e}ve expansion. Formulas are easily computable and prove to be very accurate in numerical tests. This makes them useful for numerically efficient calibration of the model.

Published / Preprint: A Practical Approach to Financial Crisis Indicators Based on Random Matrices. (arXiv:1506.00806v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 02 Jun 2015 05:36 PM PDT

The aim of this work is to build financial crisis indicators based on market data time series. After choosing an optimal size for a rolling window, the market data is seen every trading day as a random matrix from which a covariance and correlation matrix is obtained. Our indicators deal with the spectral properties of these covariance and correlation matrices. Our basic financial intuition is...

Published / Preprint: Financial Contagion and Asset Liquidation Strategies. (arXiv:1506.00937v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 02 Jun 2015 05:36 PM PDT

This paper provides a framework for modeling the financial system with multiple illiquid assets during a crisis. This extends the network model of Cifuentes, Shin & Ferrucci (2005) that incorporates a single asset with fire sales. We prove sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium clearing payments and liquidation prices. We prove sufficient conditions for the...
