A change in the corporate tax level can have a significant impact on rate making and capital structure for insurance companies. The purpose of this paper is to study this effect on competitive equity-premium combinations for different asset and liability models while retaining a fixed safety...

We study an equilibrium asset pricing model with several Lucas (1978) trees subject toevent risk, that is, the possibility that trees experience unexpected disasters. We exploit themarket clearing mechanism, in the presence of multiple positive net supply assets, to showthat the implications of...

This paper presents a new method to detect informed trading activities in the options markets.An option trade is identified as informed when it is characterized by an unusual largeincrement in open interest and volume, induces large gains, and is not hedged in the stock market.For the period...

We consider backward stochastic dierential equations (BSDEs) witha particular quadratic generator and study the behaviour of their solu-tions when the probability measure is changed, the ltration is shrunk,or the underlying probability space is transformed.[...]

We study the exponential utility indifference valuation of a contingentclaim H when asset prices are given by a general semimartingale S. Under mildassumptions on H and S, we prove that a no-arbitrage type condition is fulfilled ifand only if H has a certain representation. In this case, the...

We develop a new completely affine model of the term structure of interest rates, in which the statevariables evolve as a matrix-valued process of stochastically correlated factors. This setting grants a newelement of flexibility in the simultaneous modeling of stochastic volatilities and...

This paper presents the first analysis of open-end leverage certificates on the Germanmarket. The major innovations of these certificates are twofold. First, issuers announcea price-setting formula according to which they are willing to buy and sell thecertificates over time. Second, the...

We study the exponential utility indifference valuation of a contingent claim B in an incomplete market driven by two Brownian motions. The claim depends on a nontradable asset stochastically correlated with the traded asset available for hedging. We use martingale arguments to provide upper and...
