We consider a trader who wants to direct his portfolio towards a set of acceptable wealths given by a convex risk measure. We propose a black-box algorithm, whose inputs are the joint law of stock prices and the convex risk measure, and whose outputs are the numerical values of initial capital requirement and the funct…

Estimates boundaries for acceptable bilateral gamma risk in financial markets.

problem Determining the compensation needed for risky future cash flows to be considered acceptable.
method Statistical inference from market prices and derivatives, using prospect theory.
result Upper and lower boundaries for bilateral gamma risk are estimated and tested against market data.

The risk of financial positions is measured by the minimum amount of capital to raise and invest in eligible portfolios of traded assets in order to meet a prescribed acceptability constraint. We investigate nondegeneracy, finiteness and continuity properties of these risk measures with respect to multiple eligible ass…

We present an arbitrage free theoretical framework for modeling bid and ask prices of dividend paying securities in a discrete time setup using theory of dynamic acceptability indices. In the first part of the paper we develop the theory of dynamic subscale invariant performance measures, on a general probability space…

Empirical study shows carriers ignore past shippers' behavior, focusing only on current actions.

problem Opportunistic behavior by shippers and carriers in dynamic freight markets.
method Empirical analysis of carrier reciprocity in US truckload transportation sector.
result Carriers do not remember shippers' past behaviors but respond to current actions.

New method for practical hedging under uncertainty in continuous time models.

problem High minimal superhedging price for practical use in continuous-time models.
method Relaxed hedging criterion based on acceptable shortfall risks, combining aggregation and convex dual representation theorems.
result Derivation of duality results for minimal price on discounted claims.

The classical discrete time model of proportional transaction costs relies on the assumption that a feasible portfolio process has solvent increments at each step. We extend this setting in two directions, allowing for convex transaction costs and assuming that increments of the portfolio process belong to the sum of a…

Notwithstanding almost forty years of efforts, the market for paintings still lacks a widely accepted price index. In this paper, we introduce a simple and intuitive metric to construct such index. Our metric is based on the price of a painting divided by its area. This formulation rests on a solid mathematical foundat…

New financial model revises risk measure under NA condition.

problem Revising classical financial mathematics with coherent risk measure on L0L^0.
method Developed a new version of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing and provided dual representations.
result Set of risk-hedging prices is closed under NA condition.

The analysis of markets with indivisible goods and fixed exogenous prices has played an important role in economic models, especially in relation to wage rigidity and unemployment. This research report provides a mathematical and computational details associated to the mathematical programming based approaches proposed…

Doubly fair dynamic pricing ensures equal prices for different groups over time.

problem Achieving equal prices for different groups in online dynamic pricing.
method Online learning algorithm that balances procedural and substantive fairness.
result Achieves ildeO(T) ilde{O}(\sqrt{T}) regret, zero procedural unfairness, and ildeO(T) ilde{O}(\sqrt{T}) substantive unfairness.

The valuation process that economic agents undergo for investments with uncertain payoff typically depends on their statistical views on possible future outcomes, their attitudes toward risk, and, of course, the payoff structure itself. Yields vary across different investment opportunities and their interrelations are …

Develops a robust framework for pricing and hedging in discrete-time markets.

problem Pricing and hedging of derivative securities in markets with dynamically and statically traded assets.
method Abstract Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing and Pricing--Hedging Duality, minimal measurability assumptions, scenario-based approach.
result Includes model-independent results and extends classical probabilistic approaches.

In this paper we derive robust super- and subhedging dualities for contingent claims that can depend on several underlying assets. In addition to strict super- and subhedging, we also consider relaxed versions which, instead of eliminating the shortfall risk completely, aim to reduce it to an acceptable level. This yie…

Pricing of high-dimensional options is a deep problem of the Theoretical Financial Mathematics. In this article we present a new class of Lévy driven models of stock markets. In our opinion, any market model should be based on a transparent and intuitively easily acceptable concept. In our case this is a linear system …

We develop closed-form approximations for European put options under stochastic volatility models.

problem Tackling the pricing of European put options under stochastic volatility models with time-dependent parameters.
method Using a second-order Taylor expansion around the mean of the argument, we write the option price as an expectation of a Black-Scholes formula. We then simplify the resulting expectations and derive closed-form pricing formulas under the assumption of piecewise-constant parameters.
result We derive closed-form pricing formulas and bounds on the remainder term generated by the Taylor expansion, showing that the errors are well within acceptable ranges for practical applications.

We propose the development of a prediction market for forecasting prices for "toxic assets" to be transferred from Irish banks to the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA). Such a market allows market participants to assume a stake in a security whose value is tied to a future event. We propose that securities are cr…
