Many corporate commitments exhibit a combined financial exposure to both market prices and idiosyncratic size components (e.g., volume, load, or business turnover). We design a customized contract to optimally mitigate the risk of joint fluctuations in price and size terms. The hedge is sought...

In Lecesne and Roncoroni (2013), we introduce the notion of monetary measure of risk borne by any financial claim. Our presentation moves from general definitions to concrete instances, including the benchmark measure Value-at-Risk (VaR). Part II develops a treatment of the class of coherent...

We consider the problem of designing a financial instrument aimed at mitigating the joint exposure to random price and volume delivery fluctuations of energy-linked commitments. We formulate a functional optimization problem over a set of regular pay-off functions: one is written on energy...

We develop a novel, workable switching option model approach to component redesign and replacement projects that are divisible into sequential phases. The component manufacturer has the option to retain the current product position and abandon the project, or switch to a redesigned product...

In this paper we investigate the contribution of structured bonds to the efficient frontier. We conduct our analysis by simulating the term structure according to a no-arbitrage multifactor model (G2 ) and comparing the performance of basic products (like zero-coupon bond, coupon bond and...
