Stochastic Dominance Efficiency Tests under Diversification

Kuosmanen, Timo - EconWPA - 2001

This paper focuses on Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficiency in a finite empirical panel data. We analytically characterize the sets of unsorted time series that dominate a given evaluated distribution by the First, Second, and Third order SD. Using these insights, we develop simple Linear...

Robust expectations and uncertain models – A robust control approach with application to the New Keynesian economy

Kilponen, Juha - EconWPA - 2004

This paper extends Svensson and Woodford’s (2003) partial information framework by allowing the private agents to achieve robustness against incomplete information about the structure of the economy by distorting their expectations in a particular direction. It shows how a linear rational...

Time and nodal decomposition with implicit non-anticipativity constraints in dynamic portfolio optimization

Barro, Diana; Canestrelli, Elio - EconWPA - 2005

We propose a decomposition method for the solution of a dynamic portfolio optimization problem which fits the formulation of a multistage stochastic programming problem. The method allows to obtain time and nodal decomposition of the problem in its arborescent formulation applying a discrete...

American options: the EPV pricing model

Boyarchenko, Svetlana; Levendorskii, Sergei - EconWPA - 2004

We explicitly solve the pricing problem for perpetual American puts and calls, and provide an efficient semi-explicit pricing procedure for options with finite time horizon. Contrary to the standard approach, which uses the price process as a primitive, we model the price process as the expected...

Practical guide to real options in discrete time

Boyarchenko, Svetlana; Levendorskii, Sergei - EconWPA - 2004

Continuous time models in the theory of real options give explicit formulas for optimal exercise strategies when options are simple and the price of an underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion. This paper suggests a general, computationally simple approach to real options in discrete...

Discount factors ex post and ex ante, and discounted utility anomalies

Boyarchenko, Svetlana; Levendorskii, Sergei - EconWPA - 2005

, waiting is valuable because uncertainty is revealed over time. The fair price (or compensation) that the individual agrees to … depend on the utility function and underlying uncertainty. After the decision of exchange had been made, valuation ex post … discount factors assuming different utility functions and models of uncertainty, and demonstrate that our explanation of …
