Markov cubature rules for polynomial processes

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson, Sergio Andres Pulido Nino

We study discretizations of polynomial processes using finite state Markov processes satisfying suitable moment matching conditions. The states of these Markov processes together with their transition probabilities can be interpreted as Markov cubature rul ...

Polynomial Jump-Diffusion Models

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

We develop a comprehensive mathematical framework for polynomial jump-diffusions in a semimartingale context, which nest affine jump-diffusions and have broad applications in finance. We show that the polynomial property is preserved under polynomial trans ...

On the relation between linearity-generating processes and linear-rational models

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

We review the notion of a linearity-generating (LG) process introduced by Gabaix and relate LG processes to linear-rational (LR) models studied by Filipović et al. We show that every LR model can be represented as an LG process and vice versa. We find that ...

Unspanned stochastic volatility in the multifactor CIR model

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson, Francesco Statti

Empirical evidence suggests that fixed-income markets exhibit unspanned stochastic volatility (USV), that is, that one cannot fully hedge volatility risk solely using a portfolio of bonds. While Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein (2002, Journal of Finance, 57, ...

Linear-Rational Term Structure Models

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

We introduce the class of linear-rational term structure models in which the state price density is modeled such that bond prices become linear-rational functions of the factors. This class is highly tractable with several distinct advantages: (i) ensures ...

Polynomial diffusions and applications in finance

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

This paper provides the mathematical foundation for polynomial diffusions. They play an important role in a growing range of applications in finance, including financial market models for interest rates, credit risk, stochastic volatility, commodities and ...

Default And Systemic Risk In Equilibrium

Martin Larsson

We develop a finite horizon continuous time market model, where risk-averse investors maximize utility from terminal wealth by dynamically investing in a risk-free money market account, a stock, and a defaultable bond, whose prices are determined via equil ...

Informational Efficiency under Short Sale Constraints

Martin Larsson

A constrained informationally efficient market is defined as one in which the price process arises as the outcome of some equilibrium where agents face restrictions on trade. This paper investigates the case of short sale constraints, a setting which, desp ...

Filtration Shrinkage, Strict Local Martingales And The Follmer Measure

Martin Larsson

When a strict local martingale is projected onto a subfiltration to which it is not adapted, the local martingale property may be lost, and the finite variation part of the projection may have singular paths. This phenomenon has consequences for arbitrage ...
