The paper deals with the role of the isomorphism and homomorphism in the theory and practice of simulation. These concepts are considered as a methodological framework for models adequacy evaluation and for their suitability extent estimation to the study and improvement of economic systems,...

Mutual Funds are the most common form of investment for the average household. They offer a fair amount of return for a limited amount of risk. Segregated Funds, which are, simply put, mutual funds with additional features, have grown in popularity as of late. It is something of great interest...

We study the possibility of completing data bases of a sample of governance, diversification and value creation variables by providing a well adapted method to reconstruct the missing parts in order to obtain a complete sample to be applied for testing the ownership-structure / diversification...

The paper studies the impact of different time-scales on the market risk of individual stock market returns and of a given portfolio in Paris Stock Market by applying the wavelet analysis. To investigate the scaling properties of stock market returns and the lead/lag relationship between them at...

Common ordinal models, including the ordered logit model and the continuation ratio model, are structured by a common score (i.e., a linear combination of a list of given explanatory variables) plus rank specific intercepts. Sensitivity with respect to the common score is generally not...

Estimation of portfolio expected credit loss is required for IFRS9 regulatory purposes. It starts with the estimation of scenario loss at loan level, and then aggregated and summed up by scenario probability weights to obtain portfolio expected loss. This estimated loss can vary significantly,...

There are several methods to convert fuzzy or stochastic LP to conventional LP models. In this simple paper we evaluate the effectiveness of three proposed methods, using a numerical example from a pure factors portfolio.

In this paper, we propose a Vasicek-type of models for estimating portfolio level probability of default (PD). With these Vasicek models, asset correlation and long-run PD for a risk homogenous portfolio both have analytical solutions, longer external time series for market and macroeconomic...

The standalone structural exchange rate risk depends on the product of the future foreign currency earning and the change in the exchange rate. Its Value-at-Risk (VaR) implying an extremely high survival probability, usually exceeding 99.9%, is used in practice to determine its economic capital....
