Financial contagion and systemic risk measures are commonly derived from conditional quantiles by using imposed model assumptions such as a linear parametrization. In this paper, we provide model free measures for contagion and systemic risk which are independent of the specifcation of...

The volatility implied by observed market prices as a function of the strike and time to maturity form an Implied Volatility Surface (IVS). Practical applications require reducing the dimension and characterize its dynamics through a small number of factors. Such dimension reduction is...

Modeling the portfolio credit risk is one of the crucial issues of the last yearsin the financial problems. We propose the valuation model of Collateralized DebtObligations based on a one- and two-parameter copula and default intensities estimatedfrom market data. The presented method is used to...

Supported by several recent investigations the empirical pricing kernel paradox might beconsidered as a stylized fact. In Chabi-Yo et al. (2008) simulation studies have been presentedwhich suggest that this paradox might be caused by regime switching of stock prices in financialmarkets....

The calibration of option pricing models leads to the minimization of an error functional. We show that its usual specification as a root mean squared error implies fluctuating exotics prices and possibly wrong prices...

We present a closed form solution to the perpetual American double barrier call option problem in a model driven by a Brownian motion and a compound Poissonprocess with exponential jumps. The method of proof is based on reducing the initialirregular optimal stopping problem to an...

Equity basket correlation is an important risk factor. It characterizes the strength of linear dependence between assets and thus measures the degree of portfolio diversification. It can be estimated both under the physical measure from return series, and under the risk neutral measure from...
