Alternatively, we propose here to use a stochastic volatility model (Heston...

Published / Preprint: Inequality measures in kinetic exchange models of wealth distributions. (arXiv:1509.02711v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 09 Sep 2015 05:36 PM PDT

In this paper, we study the inequality indices for some models of wealth exchange. We calculated Gini index and newly introduced k-index and compare the results with reported empirical data available for different countries. We have found lower and upper bounds for the indices and discuss the efficiencies of the models. Some exact analytical calculations are given for a few cases. We also exactly...

Published / Preprint: Utility Maximisation for Exponential Levy Models with option and information processes. (arXiv:1509.02727v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 09 Sep 2015 05:36 PM PDT

We consider utility maximisation problem for exponential Levy models and HARA utilities in presence of illiquid asset. This illiquid asset is modelled by an option of European type on another risky asset which is correlated with the first one. Under some hypothesis on Levy processes, we give the expressions for information processes figured in maximum utility formula. As applications, we consider...
