In financial modelling, filtering and other areas the underlying dynamics are often specified via stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of jump-diffusion type. The class of jump-diffusion SDEs that admits explicit solutions is rather limited. Consequently, there is a need for the systematic...

One approach to oil markets is to treat oil as an asset, besides its role as a commodity. Speculative and nonspeculative activity by investors in the derivatives markets could be responsible for a sizable increase in oil prices. This paper recognizes both the consumption and investment aspects...

El presente documento realiza un análisis estratégico para vincular las actividades de investigación a las prácticas docentes. El objetivo del mismo es elaborar una formulación con base en la discusión que sobre la enseñanza y la investigación de la economía ha suscitado el debate...

We study the limiting behavior of the empirical measure of a system of diffusions interacting through their ranks when the number of diffusions tends to infinity. We prove that under certain assumptions the limiting dynamics is given by a McKean–Vlasov evolution equation. Moreover, we show...

This paper demonstrates how to value American interest rate options under the jump-extended constant-elasticity-of-variance (CEV) models. We consider both exponential jumps (see Duffie et al., 2000) and lognormal jumps (see Johannes, 2004) in the short rate process. We show how to superimpose...

In this paper, we deal with the pricing of European style options when the dynamics of the risky underlying asset are driven by a Markov-modulated jump diffusion with stochastic volatility. We investigate the Radon–Nikodym derivative for the minimal martingale measure and a partial...
