he Basel II capital accord encourages financial institutions to develop rating systems for assessing the risk of default of their credit portfolios in order to better calculate the minimum regulatory capital needed to cover unexpected losses. In the internal ratings based approach, financial...

In this paper we discuss moment swaps. These derivatives depend on the realized higher moments of the underlying. A special case is the nowadays popular variance swaps. After introducing moment swaps we discuss how to hedge these derivatives. Moreover, we show how the classical hedge of the...

In this paper, we study a new class of tractable diffusions suitable for model's primitives of interest rates. We consider scalar diffusions with scale s′(x) and speed m(x) densities discontinuous at the level x*. We call that family of processes Self Exciting Threshold (SET) diffusions....

Static and discrete time pricing operators for two price economies are reviewed and then generalized to the continuous time setting of an underlying Hunt process. The continuous time operators define nonlinear partial integro–differential equations that are solved numerically for the three...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper provides a new market implied calibration based on a moment matching methodology where the moments of the risk-neutral density function are inferred from at-the-money and out-the-money European vanilla option quotes. In particular, we derive a model-independent risk-neutral...

Contingent Convertibles (“CoCos”) are contingent capital instruments which convert into shares, or have a principal write down, if a trigger event takes place. CoCos exhibit the undesirable so-called death-spiral effect: by actively hedging the equity risk, investors can (unintentionally)...
