It is well-known that some cognitive factors such as opportunity perception and risk perception influence entrepreneurial risk-based decision-making (RBDM). This paper proposes some rules of entrepreneur's risk decision-learning to address this RBDM taking cognitive factors into consideration....

In this paper, we propose a method to price collateralized debt obligations (CDO) within Merton's structural model on underlyings with a stochastic mean-reverting covariance dependence. There are two key elements in our development, first we reduce dimensionality and complexity using principal...

A new method is developed for estimating the spectral measure of a multivariate stable probability measure, by representing the measure as a sum of spherical harmonics.

This paper assumes a structural credit model with underlying stochastic volatility combining the Black/Cox approach with the Heston model. We model the equity of a company as a barrier call option on its assets. The assets are assumed to follow a stochastic volatility process; this implies an...

In this paper we propose two first-passage-time approaches for pricing debt and equity when the firm is able to restructure its debt as an alternative to liquidation. In contrast to other first passage models that account for reorganization, our approaches allow the firm to restructure its debt...
