We examine the connections between a novel class of multi-person stopping games with redistribution of payoffs and multi-dimensional reflected BSDEs in discrete- and continuous-time frameworks. Our goal is to provide an essential extension of classic results for two-player stopping games (Dynkin...

The backward induction approach is systematically used to produce various models of forward market rates. These include the lognormal model of forward Libor rates examined by Miltersen et al. and Brace et al., as well as the lognormal model of (fixed-maturity) forward swap rates, which was...

This paper is the first in a series that we devote to studying the problems of valuation and hedging of defaultable game options in general, and convertible corporate bonds in particular. Here, we present mathematical foundations for our overall study. Specifically, we provide several results...

The innovative information-based framework for credit risk modeling, proposed recently by Brody, Hughston, and Macrina, is extended to a more general and practically important setup of random interest rates. We first introduce the market model, and we derive an explicit expression for...

We propose a fairly general framework which allows one to perform Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) computations for a contract with bilateral counterparty risk in the presence of (a) systemic risk and (b) wrong-way or right-way risks. Our methodology focuses on the role of alternative settlement...

<title>Abstract</title> Foreign exchange options are studied in the Heston stochastic volatility model for the exchange rate combined with the Cox <italic>et al</italic>. dynamics for the domestic and foreign stochastic interest rates. The instantaneous volatility is correlated with the dynamics of the exchange rate return,...

The present research is motivated by the recent results of Jeanblanc and Song (2011) [10,11]. Our aim is to demonstrate, with the help of multiplicative systems introduced in Meyer (1979) [21], that for any given positive F-submartingale F such that F∞=1, there exists a random time τ on some...
