The subject of the work is a study of the patterns and prerequisites for the formation of regional innovation systems along with the analysis and synthesis of a significant array of information on elements of interaction at the regional level on the basis of economic and mathematical modelling....

We consider convertible bonds that contractually stipulate payment standstill, contingent on a market indicator of a sovereign's creditworthiness breaching a distress threshold. This financial innovation limits ex-ante the likelihood of debt crises and imposes ex-post risk sharing between...

This paper provides an exact and computable invariant currency value index (ICVI) which is independent of base currency choice. Thus, given a 1xed set of currencies, the index of a currency will have the same value, regardless of base currency choice. This currency index can be used as an...

The purpose of this research is to fill the gaps in the literature by providing a comprehensive study on how to utilize and improve the performance of the receding horizontal control and stochastic programming (RHCSP) method pertaining to the oil and currency markets

We analyze the impact of different designs of COVID-19 related lockdown policies on economic loss and mortality using a micro-level simulation model, which combines a multi-sectoral closed economy with an epidemic transmission model. In particular, the model captures explicitly the (stochastic)...

We study fiscal policy in Denmark in the period 2004-2012 and compare the actual policy to counterfactual, rule-based alternatives. Given Denmark's fixed exchange rate towards the euro, it is the job of fiscal policymakers to stabilise fluctuations in output and inflation. However, we find that...

Objectives: We study partial unlock or reopening interaction with seasonal effects in a managed epidemic to quantify overshoot effects on small and large unlock steps and discover robust strategies for reducing overshoot. Methods: We simulate partial unlock of social distancing for epidemics...

We develop models for portfolio diversification in the sovereign credit default swap (CDS) markets and show that, despite literature findings that sovereign CDS spreads are affected by global factors, there is sufficient idiosyncratic risk to be diversified away. However, we identify regime...

We present a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) parallelization of the computation of the price of exotic cross-currency interest rate derivatives via a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach. In particular, we focus on the GPU-based parallel pricing of long-dated foreign exchange (FX)...

Given a set of tick-by-tick data of five currency pairs we analyze several traditional asset allocation techniques as well as technical trading rule based models. In particular we explore appropriate levels of time aggregation and rebalancing frequencies. We also suggest a triggered...
