Large water demands by the mining industry are of increasing concern around the world. The cost of a specific water management regulation is studied for an oil sands mining operation in Canada, where restrictions on water withdrawals vary with fluctuations in the river. A stochastic optimal...

Electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES-E) is supposed to increase significantly within the coming decades. However, uncertainty about the progress of necessary infrastructure investments, public acceptance and cost developments of renewable energies renders the achievement of...

We propose a new approach to deal with structural breaks in time series models. The key contribution is an alternative dynamic stochastic specification for the model parameters which describes potential breaks. After a break new parameter values are generated from a so-called baseline prior...

This paper develops and analyses convergence properties of a novel multi-level Monte-Carlo (mlMC) method for computing prices and hedging parameters of plain-vanilla European options under a very general $b$-dimensional jump-diffusion model, where $b$ is arbitrary. The model includes stochastic...

One-way coupling often occurs in multi-dimensional stochastic models in finance. In this paper, we develop a highly efficient Monte Carlo (MC) method for pricing European options under a N-dimensional one-way coupled model, where N is arbitrary. The method is based on a combination of (i) the...

American Monte Carlo is a solution to the puzzle of calculating the value of derivatives with the right to an early exercise, when using Monte Carlo simulation. One of the technique uses regression of some suitable basis functions, which is a bit arbitrary, and could if made wrong render in...

In this article we suggest a new method for solutions of stochastic integrals where the dynamics of the variables in integrand are given by some stochastic differential equation. We also propose numerical simulation of stochastic differential equations which is based on iterated integrals method...

We propose a hybrid scheme for the simulation of stochastic Volterra equations. The scheme is a mix of the hybrid scheme for Brownian semistationary processes of Bennedsen et al. [Financ. Stoch., 21(4), 931-965, 2017] and then the multifactor approximations of Abi Jaber et al. [SIAM J. Finan....

The recent evolution of prudential regulation establishes a new requirement for banks and supervisors to perform reverse stress test exercises in their risk assessment processes, aimed at detecting default or near-default scenarios. We propose a reverse stress test methodology based on a...
