Finance is about how the continuous stream of news gets incorporated into prices. But not all news have the same impact. Can one distinguish the effects of the Sept. 11, 2001 attack or of the coup against Gorbachev on Aug., 19, 1991 from financial crashes such as Oct. 1987 as well as smaller volatility bursts? Using a …

The banks and investors share a common belief abo…

We study the valuation and hedging problem of European options in a market subject to liquidity shocks. Working within a Markovian regime-switching setting, we model illiquidity as the inability to trade. To isolate the impact of such liquidity constraints, we focus on the case where the market is completely static in …

result Assets positively exposed to average propagation of upstream and downstream shocks earn lower average risk premia.

In this paper, we develop a theory of market crashes resulting from a deleveraging shock. We consider two representative investors in a market holding different opinions about the public available information. The deleveraging shock forces the high confidence investors to liquidate their risky assets to pay back their …

We introduce a quantitative approach to comparative statics that allows to bound the maximum effect of an exogenous parameter change on a system's equilibrium. The motivation for this approach is a well known paradox in multimarket Cournot competition, where a positive price shock on a monopoly market may actually redu…

Study shows different types of volatility and skewness changes affect stock prices.

problem Different types of volatility and skewness changes affect stock prices.
method Used intraday data for individual stocks to analyze cross-section of asset returns.

We analyse four consecutive cycles observed in the USA for employment and inflation. They are driven by three oil price shocks and an intended interest rate shock. Non-linear coupling between the rate equations for consumer products as prey and consumers as predators provides the required instability, but its natural d…

A simple quantitative example of a reflexive feedback process and the resulting price dynamics after an exogenous price shock to a financial network is presented. Furthermore, an outline of a theory that connects financial reflexivity, which stems from cross-ownership and delayed or incomplete information, and no-arbit…

Study models stock price recovery during COVID-19, distinguishing V and L-shape recoveries.

problem Analyzing stock price recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
method Developed a stock price model based on net-fund-flow and financial antifragility.
result Quality stocks with higher financial antifragility show V-shape recovery, while those with lower antifragility show L-shape recovery.

Study optimal reinsurance and investment strategies under common shocks affecting financial and actuarial markets.

problem Maximizing expected exponential utility of terminal wealth in a company facing both ordinary and catastrophic claims.
method Modeling common shocks affecting financial and actuarial markets, using stochastic control and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.
result Characterization of optimal reinsurance and investment strategies under common shock dependence.

New model predicts energy prices volatility by smoothing time variation and persistence.

problem Separate study of volatility's time variation and persistence.
method Dynamic persistence model that allows shocks with heterogeneous persistence to vary smoothly over time.
result Significantly improves volatility forecasts over state-of-the-art models.

One important effect of price shocks in the United States has been increased political attention paid to the structure and performance of oil and natural gas markets, along with some governmental support for energy conservation. This paper describes how price changes helped lead the emergence of a political agenda acco…
