Published / Preprint: Feynman-Kac Formulas for Solutions to Degenerate Elliptic and Parabolic Boundary-Value and Obstacle Problems with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions. (arXiv:1509.03864v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 14 Sep 2015 05:38 PM PDT

We prove Feynman-Kac formulas for solutions to elliptic and parabolic boundary value and obstacle problems associated with a general Markov diffusion process. Our diffusion model covers several popular stochastic volatility models, such as the Heston model, the CEV model and the SABR model, which are widely used as asset pricing models in mathematical finance. The generator of this Markov process...

Published / Preprint: Optimal stopping times in jump processes. (arXiv:1509.04135v1 [math.OC])

Posted: 14 Sep 2015 05:38 PM PDT

We derive the optimal investment decision in a project where both demand and investment costs are stochastic processes, eventually subject to shocks. We extend the approach used in \cite{Dixit:Pindyck:94}, chapter 6.5, to deal with two sources of uncertainty, but assuming that the underlying processes are no longer geometric Brownian diffusions but rather jump diffusion processes. For the...

Published / Preprint: A Hedged Monte Carlo Approach to Real Option Pricing. (arXiv:1509.03577v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 13 Sep 2015 05:46 PM PDT

In this work we are concerned with valuing optionalities associated to invest or to delay investment in a project when the available information provided to the manager comes from simulated data of cash flows under historical (or subjective) measure in a possibly incomplete market. Our approach is suitable also to incorporating subjective views from management or market experts and to stochastic...

Published / Preprint: The Product Life Cycle of Durable Goods. (arXiv:1109.0828v2 [stat.OT] UPDATED)

Posted: 13 Sep 2015 05:46 PM PDT

A dynamic model of the product lifecycle of (nearly) homogeneous durables in polypoly markets is established. It describes the concurrent evolution of the unit sales and price of durable goods. The theory is based on the idea that the sales dynamics is determined by a meeting process of demanded with supplied product units. Taking advantage from the Bass model for first purchase and a logistic...
