The term 'financialization' describes the phenomenon that commodity contracts are traded for purely financial reasons and not for motives rooted in the real economy. Recently, financialization has been made responsible for causing adverse welfare effects especially for low-income and low-wealth...

Stocks are exposed to the risk of sudden downward jumps. Additionally, a crash in one stock (or index) can increase the risk of crashes in other stocks (or indices). Our paper explicitly takes this contagion risk into account and studies its impact on the portfolio decision of a CRRA investor...

We study the effects of market incompleteness on speculation, investor survival, and asset pricing moments, when investors disagree about the likelihood of jumps and have recursive preferences. We consider two models. In a model with jumps in aggregate consumption, incompleteness barely matters,...

This paper deals with the superhedging of derivatives on incomplete markets, i.e. with portfolio strategies which generate payoffs at least as high as that of a given contingent claim. The simplest solution to this problem is in many cases a static superhedge, i.e. a buy-and-hold strategy...

This paper provides a theoretical and numerical analysis of robust hedging strategies in diffusion type models … including stochastic volatility models. A robust hedging strategy avoids any losses as long as thec realised volatility stays …

When options are traded, one can use their prices and price changes to draw inference about the set of risk factors and … option hedging errors. We derive a closed-form solution for the option hedging error and its expectation in a stochastic jump … hedging error cannot identify the exact structure of the compensation for jump risk. Furthermore, we derive closed form …
