We study the dynamic utility indifference value process p(X) when the usefulness of X is evaluated via a dynamic monetary concave utility functional (DMCUF) instead of von Neumann/Morgenstern expected utility. A DMCUF is minus a dynamic convex risk measure. The key tools for our investigations...

The price process in a financial market is driven by demand and supply. Statistical analyses have shown that price “feeds back” on future demand and supply. To date, few testable models have been proposed that offer an economic explanation for this relationship. In this paper, we investigate a...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) has develop ed very rapidly over the past two decades both methodologically and with respect to applications. Whereas (non–life) actuaries have, at least implicitly, used EVT techniques for a long time, mainly through the emergence of quantitative Risk Management, EVT...

The paper investigates how buyer-supplier firm-specific relationships affect security prices. Starting from the empirical inconsistencies associated with some standard structural models we propose a structural model of firm dependence in a vertically connected network of firms based on cash flow...

We cionsider semiparmetric assymetric kernel density estimators when the unkonwn density has support on [0,∞). We provide a unifying framework which contains assymmetric kernel versions of several semiparametric density estimators considered previously in the literature. This framework allows...
