We consider a two-scaled diffusion system, when drift and diffusion parameters of the “slow” component are contaminated by the "fast" unobserved component. The goal is to estimate the dynamic function which is defined by averaging the drift coefficient of the "slow" component w.r.t. the...

We study a new type of representation problem for optional processes with connections to singular control, optimal stopping and dynamic allocation problems. As an application, we show how to solve a variant of Skorohod's obstacle problem in the context of backward stochastic differential...

We consider a diffusion model of small variable type with positive drift density varying in a nonparametric set. We investigate Gaussian and Poisson approximations to this model. In the sense of asymptotic equivalence of experiments, it is shown that observation of the diffusion process until...

This paper extends the class of AK models with an explicit solution to the case where there are two capital goods in the model. this extension holds, even if an external effect in the use of human capital in goods production ia assumed.

Let Q be the set of equivalent martingale measures for a given process S, and let X be a process which is a local supermartingale with respect to any measure in Q. The optional decomposition theorem for X states that there exists a predictable integrand ф such that the difference X−ф•S is...

Problems arising in Finance have become a significant source of new developments in Stochastic Analysis. We discuss some recent case studies, in particular some decomposition and representation theorems which are motivated by problems of hedging derivatives and of intertemporal consumption choice.
