Essays in Information-Based Asset Pricing

Michael Hasler

I started my Ph.D. studies in the Fall 2008, a period ex-post perceived as being at the core of the Financial Crisis. At that time my ideas were vague and I struggled to find a good research topic. As surprising as it might appear, in one single week the d ...

Financial Markets Equilibrium with Heterogeneous Agents

Semyon Malamud

This paper presents an equilibrium model in a pure exchange economy when investors have three possible sources of heterogeneity. Investors may differ in their beliefs, in their level of risk aversion, and in their time preference rate. The authors study th ...

Doubly Stochastic CDO Term Structures

Damir Filipovic

This paper provides a general framework for doubly stochastic term structure models for portfolio of credits, such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We introduce the defaultable (T, x)-bonds, which pay one if the aggregated loss process in the und ...

Dynamic CDO Term Structure Modeling

Damir Filipovic

This paper provides a unifying approach for valuing contingent claims on a portfolio of credits, such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We introduce the defaultable (T, x)-bonds, which pay one if the aggregated loss process in the underlying pool ...

Is Credit Event Risk Priced? Modeling Contagion Via the Updating of Beliefs

Pierre Collin Dufresne

Empirical tests of reduced form models of default attribute a large fraction of observed credit spreads to compensation for jump-to-default risk. However, these models preclude a “contagion-risk” channel, where the aggregate corporate bond index reacts adv ...

Can interest rate volatility be extracted from the cross section of bond yields?☆

Pierre Collin Dufresne

Most affine models of the term structure with stochastic volatility predict that the variance of the short rate should play a 'dual role' in that it should also equal a linear combination of yields. However, we find that estimation of a standard affine thr ...

We prove that, in a heterogeneous economy with scale-invariant utilities, the yield of a long term bond is determined by the agent with maximal expected marginal utility. We also prove that the same result holds for the long term forward rates. Furthermore ...

We propose a parsimonious 'unspanned stochastic volatility' model of the term structure and study its implications for fixed-income option prices. The drift and quadratic variation of the short rate are affine in three state variables (the short rate, its ...

Existing theories of the term structure of swap rates provide an analysis of the Treasury-swap spread based on either a liquidity convenience yield in the Treasury market, or default risk in the swap market. Although these models do not focus on the relati ...
