In this paper we examine asset price dynamics (i.e. the convergence speed) in the event of pre-announced conversion values and dates. The theoretical framework for these dynamics has been developed in De Grauwe, Dewachter and Veestraeten (1999). We examine two instances of conversion, notably...

The paper examines pricing of options on target zone exchange rates. The pricing model of Dumas, Jennergren and Näslund (1993) is extended to asymmetric burden sharing in the defence of the target zone. This extension is relevant for various realistic set-ups, such as unilateral target zones....

This study examines the implications for stock option pricing when the domain of the stock price is constrained by a lower boundary. The valuation strategy starts from the familiar geometric Brownian motion framework of Black & Scholes (1973). However, an instantaneously reflecting lower...

The paper explicitly derives the conditional distribution of exchange rates and interest rate differentials in the target zone model of Krugman (1991). The exact conditional density function is subsequently utilized in maximum likelihood estimation in which narrower undeclared bands within...

This paper extends the benchmark Macro-Finance model by introducing, next to the standard macroeconomic factors, additional liquidity-related and return forecasting factors. Liquidity factors are obtained from a decomposition of the TED spread while the return forecasting (risk premium) factor...

We estimate a New-Keynesian macro-finance model of the yield curve incorporating learning by private agents with respect to the long-run expectation of inflation and the equilibrium real interest rate. A preliminary analysis shows that some liquidity premia, expressed as some degree of...

Messung der regimeübergreifenden Geschmeidigkeit von Wechselkursen Dieser Beitrag schlägt einen Rahmen vor für die Untersuchung der regimeübergreifenden Geschmeidigkeit von Wechselkursen und wendet diesen Rahmen an auf die in Deutscher Mark und französischen Francs notierten Kurse des...
