Pensions modelling

Valuable insights into the problem of how to fund defined benefitpension schemes can be obtained by analysis using the standardBlack–Scholes/Merton option pricing model, consideringthe pension fund finances jointly with those of the sponsoringcompany. The nature of the fund assets and liabilities is completelydifferent, and this lies behind current controversies aboutthe appropriate discount rate, valuation, financial accountingand preferential status for pension fund claimants in insolvency.     

Convexity Bias in the Pricing of Eurodollar Swaps

The traditional use of LIBOR futures prices to obtain surrogates for the Eurodollar forward rates is proved to yield a systematic bias in the pricing of Eurodollar swaps when one assumes that the yield curve is well described by the Heath-Jarrow-Morton model. The resulting theoretical inequality is consistent with the empirical observations of Burghardt and Hoskins (1995), and it provide a theoretical basis for price anomalies that are suggested by more recent empirical data.     

基于不确定指数O-U过程带有浮动利率模型的亚式期权定价

不确定金融是不确定理论在现代金融领域的一种应用,在解决金融问题中发挥着越来越重要的作用。而利率是一个重要的经济指标,经常受到一些不确定因素的影响,在研究期权定价时,有必要考虑浮动利率。本文提出了一种新的不确定指数Ornstein-Uhlenbeck过程模型,假设利率服从不确定均值回复过程,研究了期权定价问题,运用α-轨道方法,分别推导了亚式看涨期权和看跌期权定价公式。最后,设计了计算期权价格的数值算法,并给出数值算例。     

考虑残值变化和消费者低碳偏好的生产定价与销售激励机制

在消费者低碳偏好和产品残值变化下,研究制造商的碳减排、生产及定价联合决策、以及对销售商的销售激励契约设计问题。不同于以往的研究假设残值不变,本文考虑残值依赖于清仓期库存以及碳减排问题。提出委托代理模型,求解模型并从理论上分析残值的变化和碳减排成本对双方决策和收益的影响。研究表明,残值变化率的增加只导致制造商的收益和生产量下降,不影响制造商的碳减排、定价、销售契约及零售商的决策和收益,但碳减排成本将导致制造商的收益和双方决策变量的下降。最后通过算例分析验证了结论,对供应链的运营实践有指导意义。     

基于期望损失厌恶的供应链期权契约协调研究

以一个损失厌恶销售商与一个损失中性供应商组成的两级供应链为背景,利用期望损失厌恶理论对销售商在期权契约下的最优采购策略进行了研究,并证明了期望损失厌恶理论能有效克服传统基于前景理论的研究中因参考点外生且固定假设带来的弊端。在此基础上,进一步给出了供销双方在期权契约下实现协调共赢的条件,分析了销售商损失厌恶程度,期权契约价格等参数对供应链协调共赢机制的影响。结果显示:销售商的损失厌恶偏好并不会改变权利金分配整体供应链利润的作用,但会增强销售商分享收益的能力,改变供销双方利润或效用水平对权利金,产品销售价格和生产成本的敏感程度,且较高的损失厌恶偏好还会阻碍供销双方协调共赢目标的达成。     

非线性Black-Scholes模型下算术平均亚式期权定价问题

在非线性Black-Scholes模型下,研究了算术平均亚式期权定价问题.首先利用单参数摄动方法,将亚式期权适合的偏微分方程分解成一系列常系数抛物方程.其次通过计算这些常系数抛物型方程的解,给出了算术平均亚式期权的近似定价公式.最后分析了近似结论的误差估计,并通过数值算例验证了所得近似结论的合理性.     

Modelling day‐ahead electricity prices

A production‐based approach is introduced to take into account different attitudes and liabilities of market participants to discuss the equilibrium day‐ahead prices on electricity. Conditions ensuring the existence of the equilibrium are given and price distribution is considered. A discussion of reasons for high price volatility is given.     

Operational issues and network effects in vaccine markets

One of the most important concerns for managing public health is the prevention of infectious diseases. Although vaccines provide the most effective means for preventing infectious diseases, there are two main reasons why it is often difficult to reach a socially optimal level of vaccine coverage: (i) the emergence of operational issues (such as yield uncertainty) on the supply side, and (ii) the existence of negative network effects on the consumption side. In particular, uncertainties about production yield and vaccine imperfections often make manufacturing some vaccines a risky process and may lead the manufacturer to produce below the socially optimal level. At the same time, negative network effects provide incentives to potential consumers to free ride off the immunity of the vaccinated population. In this research, we consider how a central policy-maker can induce a socially optimal vaccine coverage through the use of incentives to both consumers and the vaccine manufacturer. We consider a monopoly market for an imperfect vaccine; we show that a fixed two-part subsidy is unable to coordinate the market, but derive a two-part menu of subsidies that leads to a socially efficient level of coverage.     

Complex dynamics in equilibrium asset pricing models with boundedly rational,heterogeneous agents

We study a simple model based upon the Lucas framework where heterogeneous agents behave rationally in a fully intertemporal setting but do not know other investors' personal preferences, wealth or investment portfolios. As a consequence, agents initially do not know the equilibrium asset pricing function and must make guesses, which they update via adaptive learning with constant gain. We demonstrate that even in this simple environment the economy can, depending on parameters, exhibit either stable convergence to equilibrium, or chaotic dynamical behavior of asset prices and trading volume without converging to the rational expectations equilibrium of the Lucas model. This contradicts the assertion that the Lucas model is stable in the face of modest deviations from the strong assumptions required to compute the equilibrium. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
