We consider an investor maximizing his expected utility from terminal wealth with portfolio decisions based on the available information flow. This investor faces the opportunity to acquire some additional initial information G.. The subjective fair value of this information for the investor is...

In this paper, we consider a security market in which two investors on different information levels maximize their expected logarithmic utility from terminal wealth. While the ordinary investor's portfolio decisions are based on a public information flow, the insider possesses from the beginning...

We use probabilistic methods to study classical solutions for systems of interacting semilinear parabolic partial differential equations. In a modeling framework for a financial market with interacting Ito and point processes, such PDEs are shown to provide a natural description for the solution...

In this paper we transfer martingale representation theorems from some given filtration to an initially enlarged filtration , where G is a random variable satisfying an equivalence assumption. We use then one of these theorems to solve the problem of maximizing the expected utility from both...

We develop a multilevel approach to compute approximate solutions to backward differential equations (BSDEs). The fully implementable algorithm of our multilevel scheme constructs sequential martingale control variates along a sequence of refining time-grids to reduce statistical approximation...

We study a multiplicative limit order book model for an illiquid market, where price impact by large orders is multiplicative in relation to the current price, transient over time, and non-linear in volume (market) impact. Order book shapes are specified by general density functions with respect...
