We prove that under very weak conditions optimal financial products have to be co-monotone with the inverted state price density. Optimality is meant in the sense of the maximization of an arbitrary preference model, e.g. Expected Utility Theory or Prospect Theory. The proof is based on methods...

Using a CCAPM based risk adjustment model, consistent with general asset pricing theory, I perform corporate valuations … based on the results of the respective models. The CCAPM model performs substantially better than the CAPM based model when … investment strategies, but also in this setting the CCAPM model outperforms the CAPM model in most dimensions. I further show …

A Markov chain with an expanding non-uniform grid matching risk neutral marginal distributions is constructed. Conditional distributions of the chain are in the variance gamma class with prespecified skewness and excess kurtosis. Time change and space scale volatilities are calibrated from...
