The Pietra term structures of financial assets

This paper explores an elemental connection between call options-the most commonly tradable financial derivatives, implied volatility term structures-critical “market information” emanating from call-option prices, and the Pietra index-a quantitative economic measure of societal egalitarianism. Our study: (i) unveils an intrinsic “Pietra structure” of call-option prices; (ii) introduces the notion of the “Pietra term structures” of financial assets; (iii) describes the probabilistic meaning of the Pietra term structures; (iv) establishes an explicit nonlinear one-to-one mapping between the Pietra term structures and the implied volatility term structures of financial assets. The results presented in this paper provide a deep insight into the econophysics of call options and implied volatility term structures.     

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with drawdown measure

The notion of drawdown is central to active portfolio management. Conditional Drawdown-at-Risk (CDaR) is defined as the average of a specified percentage of the largest drawdowns over an investment horizon and includes maximum and average drawdowns as particular cases. The necessary optimality conditions for a portfolio optimization problem with CDaR yield the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) stated in both single and multiple sample-path settings. The drawdown beta in the CAPM has a simple interpretation and is evaluated for hedge fund indices from the HFRX database in the single sample-path setting. Drawdown alpha is introduced similarly to the alpha in the classical CAPM and is evaluated for the same hedge fund indices. Both drawdown beta and drawdown alpha are used to prioritize hedge fund strategies and to identify instruments for hedging against market drawdowns.

考虑闲置产能分享参与者利益的平台定价研究

信息技术的快速发展,使得闲置产能的分享逐渐成为生产领域重要的产能利用模式。为研究闲置产能分享时平台的最优定价问题,在平台向供给者收取交易费而对需求者不收费的条件下,首先,建立商业平台和公益平台的基础模型,并对两类平台进行分析和对比;然后,在基础模型之上构建以一定权重考虑其他参与者利益的平台X的定价模型,探讨权重对最优交易费、供需双方的数量以及平台最优利润的影响;最后,用数值例子验证文中重要定理以及权重对供需双方效用产生的影响。研究结果表明:(1)商业平台收取的最优交易费和获得的最优利润均高于公益平台;(2)考虑其他参与者利益的平台X收取的最优交易费和获得的最优利润、需求者(免费方)的数量和效用均随着权重的增加而增加,而供给者(被收费方)的数量及其效用则随着权重的增加而减少。研究结果为平台运营商和企业的行为决策提供理论参考依据。     

短视型创新企业最优定价研究

率先创新使企业拥有时间和产品竞争力上的优势,获得先动优势;而模仿创新减少企业的研发成本,更能满足顾客的需求,从而可以获得更高的成功率,使模仿创新企业获得后进优势.针对短视型创新企业行为,研究以原始创新产品进入市场、模仿创新产品进入市场、原始创新产品的升级换代产品进入市场为分隔点的产品生命周期不同阶段下率先创新企业对产品的最优定价,以及模仿创新企业采用不同价格策略下的产品均衡定价.结论表明:无论企业采用什么价格策略,升级换代产品进入市场的最优时间都应满足升级换代产品进入市场前创新企业的阶段末瞬时利润率与进入市场后的初始瞬时利润率相等.

Optimal design of profit sharing rates by FFT

This paper addresses the calculation of a fair profit sharing rate for participating policies with a minimum interest rate guaranteed. The bonus credited to policies depends on the performance of a basket of two assets: a stock and a zero coupon bond and on the guarantee. The dynamics of the instantaneous short rates are driven by a Hull and White model, whereas the stocks follow a double exponential jump-diffusion model. The participation level is determined such that the return retained by the insurer is sufficient to hedge the interest rate guaranteed. Given that the return of the total asset is not lognormal, we rely on a Fast Fourier Transform to compute the fair value of bonus and guarantee options.     

Application of the Singularity-Separating Method to American Exotic Option Pricing

This paper is devoted to numerical methods for American barrier and lookback options, which are important examples of American exotic options. Since the singularity-separating method is adopted, accurate numerical results can be obtained very fast.     

Multiperiod Portfolio Optimization with Terminal Liability: Bounds for the Convex Case

This paper is concerned with an investor trading in multiple securities over many time periods in order to meet an outstanding liability at some future date. The investor is concerned with maximizing the expected profits from portfolio rebalancing under an initial wealth restriction to meet the future liabilities. We formulate the problem as a discrete-time stochastic optimization model and allow asset prices to have continuous probability distributions on compact domains. For the case of Markovian price uncertainty and convex terminal liability, we develop a simplicial approximation, under which bounds on the problem can be computed efficiently. Computations only require evaluating a dynamic programming recursion, which thus, allows its application to problems with a large number of trading periods. The bounds are tight in that they are exact in certain cases. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the procedure.
