This paper investigates the investment and reinsurance problem in the presence of stochastic volatility for an ambiguity-averse insurer (AAI) with a general concave utility function. The AAI concerns about model uncertainty and seeks for an optimal robust decision. We consider a Brownian motion...

This paper examines variance swap pricing using a model that integrates three major features of financial assets, namely the mean reversion in asset price, multi-factor stochastic volatility (SV) and simultaneous jumps in prices and volatility factors. Closed-form solutions are derived for...

The constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model is a practical approach to option pricing by fitting to the implied volatility smile. Its application to American-style derivatives, however, poses analytical and numerical challenges. By taking the Laplace-Carson transform (LCT) to the...
