Abstract We propose a model for the computation of the loss probability distribution allowing to take into account the not-exchangeable behavior of a portfolio clustered into several classes of homogeneous loans. These classes are classified as `large' or `small' depending on their cardinality....

Abstract We design a discrete time arbitrage-free model under incomplete information for application to credit risk models in the spirit of Duffie and Lando (2001). We assume a fundamental value process evolving according to a complete market model and a sequence of imperfect signals conveying...

We investigate the optimal hedging strategy for a firm using options, where the role of production and basis risk are considered. Contrary to the existing literature, we find that the exercise price which minimizes the shortfall of the hedged portfolio is primarily affected by the amount of cash...

We study a class of multivariate digital products called Altiplanos. These products may be structured according to two general features: (i) they may be univariate or multivariate; (ii) they may be European or with barrier. In addition to that, they may be endowed with exotic characteristics. One...

A problem that is very relevant in applications of copula functions to finance is the computation of the survival copula, which is applied to enforce multivariate put-call parity. This may be very complex for large dimensions. The problem is a special case of the more general problem of volume...

We propose a general treatment of random variables aggregation accounting for the dependence among variables and bounded or unbounded support of their sum. The approach is based on the extension to the concept of convolution to dependent variables, involving copula functions. We show that some...

This paper suggests a new technique to construct first order Markov processes using products of copula functions, in the spirit of Darsow et al. (1992) [10]. The approach requires the definition of (i) a sequence of distribution functions of the increments of the process, and (ii) a...
