Motivated by weak convergence results in the paper of Takahashi and Yoshida (2005), we show strong convergence for an accelerated Euler-Maruyama scheme applied to perturbed stochastic differential equations. The Milstein scheme with the same acceleration is also discussed as an extended result....

This paper provides a systematic empirical analysis of the effects of the M&A on target firm’s employment in Japan. It may contribute to the Japanese literature by capturing the dynamic employment impacts of firm acquisition using latest micro data. Our main findings are: the immediate effects...

This paper derives a new semi closed-form approximation formula for pricing an up-and-out barrier option under a certain type of stochastic volatility model including SABR model by applying a rigorous asymptotic expansion method developed by Kato, Takahashi and Yamada (2012). We also demonstrate...

This paper proposes a new closed-form approximation scheme for the representation of the forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) of Ma and Zhang (2002). In particular, we obtain an error estimate for the scheme applying Malliavin calculus method of Kunitomo and Takahashi...

This paper proposes a unified method for precise estimates of the error bounds in asymptotic expansions of an option price and its Greeks (sensitivities) under a stochastic volatility model. More generally, we also derive an error estimate for an asymptotic expansion around a general partially...

This paper presents a mathematical validity for an asymptotic expansion scheme of the solutions to the forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) in terms of a perturbed driver in the BSDE and a small diffusion in the FSDE. This computational scheme was proposed by...

This paper develops a new efficient scheme for approximations of expectations of the solutions to stochastic differential equations (SDEs). In particular, we present a method for connecting approximate operators based on an asymptotic expansion with multidimensional Malliavin weights to compute...

This paper presents a new asymptotic expansion method for pricing continuously monitoring barrier options. In particular, we develops a semi-group expansion scheme for the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem in the second-order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in barrier option...
