We introduce profit taxation in Borch's [1962] model of a competitive insurance market. We analyze the impact of taxation on equilibrium prices and characterize the cases where optimal risk sharing is preserved. In the case of Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) utility functions, this...

We define (d,n)-coherent risk measures as set-valued maps from <InlineEquation ID="Equ1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$L^\infty_d$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> into <InlineEquation ID="Equ2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\mathbb{R}^n$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> satisfying some axioms. We show that this definition is a convenient extension of the real-valued risk measures introduced by Artzner et al. [2]. We then discuss the aggregation issue, i.e., the...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the minimal initial capital (i.e. super-replication value) needed in order to hedge (without risk) European contingent claims in a Markov setting under proportional transaction costs. The main result is that the cheapest (trivial) buy-and-hold...

This paper presents a real option valuation model of a power plant, which accounts for physical constraints and market incompleteness. Switching costs, minimum on-off times, ramp rates, or non-constant heat rates are important characteristics that can lead, if neglected, to overestimated values....
