This paper treats the risk-averse optimal portfolio problem with consumption in continuous time for a stochastic-jump-volatility, jump-diffusion (SJVJD) model of the underlying risky asset and the volatility. The new developments are the use of the SJVJD model with...

We introduce two new methods to calculate bounds for zero-sum game options using Monte Carlo simulation. These extend and generalise the duality results of Haugh-Kogan/Rogers and Jamshidian to the case where both parties of a contract have Bermudan optionality. It is shown that the...

In this paper we study a two-player investment game with a first mover advantage in continuous time with stochastic payoffs, driven by a geometric Brownian motion. One of the players is assumed to be ambiguous with maxmin preferences over a strongly rectangular set of priors. We develop a...

We study the pricing and hedging of derivative securities with uncertainty about the volatility of the underlying asset. Rather than taking all models from a prespecified class equally seriously, we penalise less plausible ones based on their "distance" to a reference local volatility model. In...

This paper provides a general characterization of subgame-perfect equilibria for a strategic timing problem, where two firms have the (real) option to invest irreversibly in some market. Profit streams are uncertain and depend on the market structure. The analysis of the problem emphasizes its...

How does the market makers' aversion to unhedgeable risks influence option prices? We answer this question by introducing a new structural approach: deep replication. With this method, we extract the risk aversion of S&P500 options per contract and per day. Cross-sectionally, we show the...

An ambiguity averse decision-maker contemplates investment of a fixed size capital into a project with a stochastic profit stream under the Knightian uncertainty. Multiple priors are modeled as a "cloud" of diffusion processes with embedded compound Poisson jumps. The "cloud" contains the...

Real options present a wide topic in investment litterature nowadays. However, despite bigadvances in the single asset investment pricing, the theory is miser of informations aboutproblems involving more than one asset. We show in this paper that using dynamic programming,one can find an...

In Kusuda [45], we developed equilibrium analysis in security market economy with jump-Wiener information where no finite number of securities can complete markets. Assuming approximately complete markets (Björk et al. [11] [12]) in which a continuum of bonds are traded and any contingent claim...

In this paper we consider the optimal stopping problem for general dynamic monetary utility functionals. Sufficient conditions for the Bellman principle and the existence of optimal stopping times are provided. Particular attention is payed to representations which allow for a numerical...
