Implied volatility (IV) forecasting is inherently challenging due to its high dimensionality across various moneyness … and maturity, and nonlinearity in both spatial and temporal aspects. We utilize implied volatility surfaces (IVS) to … economic value of having an accurate implied volatility forecaster within trading strategies. Notably, short delta …

This article presents a generic model for pricing financial derivatives subject to counterparty credit risk. Both unilateral and bilateral types of credit risks are considered. Our study shows that credit risk should be modeled as American style options in most cases, which require a backward...

This paper presents a new model for valuing hybrid defaultable financial instruments, such as, convertible bonds. In contrast to previous studies, the model relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible....
