A term structure model for dividends and interest rates
Damir Filipovic, Sander Félix M Willems
Over the last decade, dividends have become a standalone asset class instead of a mere side product of an equity investment. We introduce a framework based on polynomial jump-diffusions to jointly price the term structures of dividends and interest rates. ...
WILEY2020Linear Stochastic Dividend Model
In this paper, we propose a new model for pricing stock and dividend derivatives. We jointly specify dynamics for the stock price and the dividend rate such that the stock price is positive and the dividend rate nonnegative. In its simplest form, the model ...
WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD2020Pricing interest rate, dividend, and equity risk
This thesis studies the valuation and hedging of financial derivatives, which is fundamental for trading and risk-management operations in financial institutions. The three chapters in this thesis deal with derivatives whose payoffs are linked to interest ...
EPFL2019Asian option pricing with orthogonal polynomials
In this paper we derive a series expansion for the price of a continuously sampled arithmetic Asian option in the Black-Scholes setting. The expansion is based on polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to the log-normal distribution. All terms in the ...
ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2019Exact Smooth Term Structure Estimation
Damir Filipovic, Sander Félix M Willems
We present a non-parametric method to estimate the discount curve from market quotes based on the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse. The discount curve reproduces the market quotes perfectly, has maximal smoothness, and is given in closed-form. The method is eas ...
