Shot-noise processes generalize compound Poisson processes in the following way: a jump (the shot) is followed by a decline (noise). This constitutes a useful model for insurance claims in many circumstances; claims due to natural disasters or self-exciting processes exhibit similar features. We...

Values of tranche spreads of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are driven by the joint default performance of the assets in the collateral pool. The dependence between the entities in the portfolio mainly depends on current economic conditions. Therefore, a correlation implied from tranches...

In this paper, we provide a new representation result for dynamic capital allocations and dynamic convex risk measures that are based on backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). We derive this representation from a classical differentiability result for BSDEs and the full allocation...
