This paper embeds a staggered price feature into the standard speculative storage model of Deaton and Laroque (1996). Intermediate goods inventory speculators are added as an additional source of intertemporal linkage, which helps us to replicate the stylized facts of the observed commodity...

In this paper we consider the problem of optimal reinsurance design for general distortion risk measures and premiums. In the first part of the paper, we find the Lagrangian dual of the primal optimal reinsurance problem and show the strong duality holds. Therefore we characterize the optimal...

Concerning the economic losses associated with the COVID-19 outbreak and other recent large catastrophes, and given that in a connected world the economic losses have a larger impact, we aim to revisit the fundamental insurance paradigms, in particular, pooling and valuation in the presence of...

Motivated by macroeconomic risks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, we consider different risk management platforms and study efficient insurance schemes in the presence of systematic events. More precisely, we consider three platforms: the risk-sharing, insurance and market platform. First, we...

We propose a modified version of the speculative storage model of Deaton and Laroque (1992) in a continuous-time framework. Unlike most of the literature, where either the demand or the price process are exogenously given, our framework models them endogenously for the storable commodities. This...

In this paper we will describe a framework that allows us to connect the problem of hedging a portfolio in finance to the existence of Pareto optimal allocations in economics. We will show the solvability of both problems is equivalent to the No Good Deals assumption. We will then analyze the...
