This paper deals with the super-replication of non path-dependent European claims under additional convex constraints on the number of shares held in the portfolio. The corresponding super-replication price of a given claim has been widely studied in the literature and its terminal value, which...

We study an optimal investment problem under contagion risk in a financial model subject to multiple jumps and defaults. The global market information is formulated as progressive enlargement of a default-free Brownian filtration, and the dependence of default times is modelled by a conditional...

We propose a probabilistic numerical algorithm to solve Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) with nonnegative jumps, a class of BSDEs introduced in [9] for representing fully nonlinear HJB equations. In particular, this allows us to numerically solve stochastic control problems...

In this work, we study the problem of mean-variance hedging with a random horizon T ^ tau , where T is a deterministic constant and is a jump time of the underlying asset price process. We rst formulate this problem as a stochastic control problem and relate it to a system of BSDEs with jumps....

We consider the problem of finding the minimal initial data of a controlled process which guarantees to reach a controlled target with a given probability of success or, more generally, with a given level of expected loss. By suitably increasing the state space and the controls, we show that...

In principle, liabilities combining both insurancial risks (e.g. mortality/longevity, crop yield,...) and pure financial risks cannot be priced neither by applying the usual actuar- ial principles of diversification, nor by arbitrage-free replication arguments. Still, it has been often proposed...

Price regulation and competition patterns in the ethical drug industry in france This article gives the results of an econometric modelization of the ethical drugs price and quantity determination institutionnal process for France. From price and promotion elasticities, it is shown that...

Efficiency of financial markets is one of the most studied subjects in theoretical finance. Formalization of this idea is realised by the random walk model. Numerous tests have been developed to validate the hypothesis of identically and independently distributed innovations. But the results of...

Management control practices are influenced by different professional groups, their interpretations and power struggles. We study a company whose strategy and daily management rely on non financial stakes, notably upon the concept of “brand”. We show how management accountants introduce a...

Les nations du sud de la zone Euro ont connu la prospérité dans les années qui ont suivi la création de la monnaie unique. Le bond de la consommation et l’élévation du niveau de vie se sont hélas révélés être des mirages. En favorisant un endettement massif, l’Euro a encouragé un...
