In this paper I analyze the relationships among investment, q, and cash flow in a tractable stochastic model in which marginal q and average q are identically equal. After analyzing the impact of changes in the distribution of the marginal operating profit of capital, I extend the model to...

We propose an interest rate model driven by a particular Lévy Process, the normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) process, in which the SDE chosen to govern the evolution of the short term rate is directly inspired from the Hull & White model. The interest rate dynamics is still mean reverting but the...

Time changed Brownian motions are extensively applied as decision models for asset returns in Finance. On the other hand infinite divisible normal mixtures generate time changed Brownian motions. The standard generalization leading to the multivariate setting of normal mean variance mixtures...

This article examines the class of continuous-time stochastic processes commonly known as afŽfine diffusions (AD's) and afŽfine jump diffusions (AJD's). By deriving the joint characteristic function, we are able to examine the statistical properties as well as develop an efficient estimation...

In this paper, we recall actuarial and financial applications of sums of dependent random variables that follow a non-Gaussian mean-reverting process and contemplate distribution approximations. Our work complements previous related studies restricted to lognormal random variables; we revisit...

We build a class of copula models that captures time-varying dependence across large panels of financial assets. Our models nest Gaussian, Student's t, grouped Student's t, and generalized hyperbolic copulas with time-varying correlations matrices, as special cases. We introduce time-variation...

We focus on returns defined as log-price differentials and generated by a diffusion process which incorporates stochastic volatility and jumps in prices. The jumps are properly compensated for this model. The stochastic volatility follows the well-known CIR process. We present general...
