Simulation-based valuation of project finance : does model complexity really matter?

Weber, Florian; Schmid, Thomas; Pietz, Matthäus; … - 2010

forecasting techniques, e.g. correlation forecasts based on historical values and on a dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model … varied. We find that the applied volatility forecasting models have a strong influence on the expected net present value … distribution and on the probability of default. In contrast, correlation forecasting models play a minor role. Time resolution and …

The impact of water conservation regulations on mining firms : a stochastic control approach

Huang, Yichun; Insley, Margaret C. - 2021

Large water demands by the mining industry are of increasing concern around the world. The cost of a specific water management regulation is studied for an oil sands mining operation in Canada, where restrictions on water withdrawals vary with fluctuations in the river. A stochastic optimal...

Optimization of power plant investments under uncertain renewable energy development paths : a multistage stochastic programming approach

Fürsch, Michaela; Nagl, Stephan Nikolaus; … - 2012

Electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES-E) is supposed to increase significantly within the coming decades. However, uncertainty about the progress of necessary infrastructure investments, public acceptance and cost developments of renewable energies renders the achievement of...

An alternative Bayesian approach to structural breaks in time series models

Hauwe, Sjoerd van den; Paap, Richard; Dijk, Dick van - 2011

We propose a new approach to deal with structural breaks in time series models. The key contribution is an alternative dynamic stochastic specification for the model parameters which describes potential breaks. After a break new parameter values are generated from a so-called baseline prior...

A Multi-Level Dimension Reduction Monte-Carlo Method for Jump-Diffusion Models

Dang, Duy-Minh - 2017

This paper develops and analyses convergence properties of a novel multi-level Monte-Carlo (mlMC) method for computing prices and hedging parameters of plain-vanilla European options under a very general $b$-dimensional jump-diffusion model, where $b$ is arbitrary. The model includes stochastic...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Models, Gibbs Sampling, & Metropolis Algorithm for High-Dimensionality Complex Stochastic Problems

Malhotra, Yogesh - 2015

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have an important role in solving high dimensionality stochastic problems characterized by computational complexity. Given their critical importance, there is need for network and security risk management research to relate the MCMC quantitative...

Multilevel Dimension Reduction Monte-Carlo Simulation for High-Dimensional Stochastic Models in Finance

Dang, Duy-Minh - 2015

One-way coupling often occurs in multi-dimensional stochastic models in finance. In this paper, we develop a highly efficient Monte Carlo (MC) method for pricing European options under a N-dimensional one-way coupled model, where N is arbitrary. The method is based on a combination of (i) the...

American Monte Carlo by Stochastic Separation of the Expected Value

Hammarlid, Ola - 2021

American Monte Carlo is a solution to the puzzle of calculating the value of derivatives with the right to an early exercise, when using Monte Carlo simulation. One of the technique uses regression of some suitable basis functions, which is a bit arbitrary, and could if made wrong render in...

Options on Realized Variance by Transform Methods : A Non-Affine Stochastic Volatility Model

Drimus, Gabriel G. - 2012

In this paper we study the pricing and hedging of options on realized variance in the 3/2 non-affine stochastic volatility model, by developing efficient transform based pricing methods. This non-affine model gives prices of options on realized variance which allow upward sloping implied...
