In this paper we consider the range of prices consistent with no arbitrage for European options in a general stochastic volatility model. We give conditions under which infimum respectively the supremum of the possible option prices are equal to the intrinsic value of the option or to the...

Abstract In this paper we study parameter estimation via the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm for a continuous-time hidden Markov model with diffusion and point process observation. Inference problems of this type arise for instance in credit risk modelling. A key step in the application...

The paper is concerned with counterparty credit risk for credit default swaps in the presence of default contagion. In particular, we study the impact of default contagion on credit value adjustments such as the Bilateral Collateralized Credit Value Adjustment (BCCVA) of Brigo et al. (2014) and...

We consider a market where the price of the risky asset follows a stochastic volatility model, but can be observed only at discrete random time points. We determine a local risk minimizing hedging strategy, assuming that the information of the agent is restricted to the observations of the price...
