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...

Abstract In this paper, we develop a novel methodology for estimation of risk capital allocation. The methodology is rooted in the theory of risk measures. We work within a general, but tractable class of law-invariant coherent risk measures, with a particular focus on expected shortfall. We...

Summary The forward rate curve is assumed to follow a stochastic differential equation w.r.t. a Lévy process with infinite dimensions. Conditions under which the market is free of arbitrage are provided for both the interest rate case and for the case of credit risk with ratings. A simulation...

A firm-value model similar to the one proposed by Black and Cox (1976) is considered. Instead of assuming a constant and known default boundary, the default boundary is an unobserved stochastic process. This process has a Brownian component, reflecting the influence of uncertain effects on the...

The defaultable term structure is modeled using stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces. This leads to an infinite dimensional model, which is free of arbitrage under a certain drift condition. Furthermore, the model is extended to incorporate ratings based on a Markov chain.

In this article we propose and study a model for stock prices which allows for shot-noise effects. This means that abrupt changes caused by jumps may fade away as time goes by. This model is incomplete. We derive the minimal martingale measure in discrete and continuous time and discuss the...

This article proposes a model for stock prices which incorporates shot-noise effects. This means, that sudden jumps in the stock price are allowed, but their effect may decline as time passes by. Our model is general enough to capture arbitrary effects of this type. Generalizing previous...

This paper considers the modelling of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We propose a top-down model via forward rates generalizing Filipović, Overbeck and Schmidt (2009) to the case where the forward rates are driven by a finite dimensional Lévy process. The contribution of this work is...
