Tiers of joy? Reserve tiering and bank behavior in a negative-rate environment
Negative interest rate regimes typically involve reserve tiering to exempt a portion of bank reserves from negative rates. We study the effects on bank behavior of a large and unanticipated change in reserve tiering by the Swiss National Bank that generate ...
2024Stripping the Swiss discount curve using kernel ridge regression
We analyze and implement the kernel ridge regression (KR) method developed in Filipovic et al. (Stripping the discount curve-a robust machine learning approach. Swiss Finance Institute Research Paper No. 22-24. SSRN. https://ssrn.com/abstract=4058150, 2022 ...
Springer Heidelberg2024Machine Learning for Modeling Stock Returns
Throughout history, the pace of knowledge and information sharing has evolved into an unthinkable speed and media. At the end of the XVII century, in Europe, the ideas that would shape the "Age of Enlightenment" were slowly being developed in coffeehouses, ...
EPFL2024How Integrated are Credit and Equity Markets? Evidence from Index Options
Pierre Collin Dufresne, Jan Benjamin Junge
We study the extent to which credit index (CDX) options are priced consistent with S&P 500 (SPX) equity index options. We derive analytical expressions for CDX and SPX options within a structural credit-risk model with stochastic volatility and jumps using ...
Hoboken2024Takeover Protections and Asset Prices
We study the effects of takeover feasibility on asset prices and returns in a unified framework. We show theoretically that takeover protections increase equity risk, stock returns, and bond yields by removing a valuable put option to sell the firm, notabl ...

In this thesis we present three closed form approximation methods for portfolio valuation and risk management.The first chapter is titled ``Kernel methods for portfolio valuation and risk management'', and is a joint work with Damir Filipovi'c (SFI and EP ...
EPFL2023Discount models
Discount is the difference between the face value of a bond and its present value. We propose an arbitrage-free dynamic framework for discount models, which provides an alternative to the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework for forward rates. We derive general c ...
Heidelberg2023Exchange options with stochastic liquidity risk
In this article, we account for the liquidity risk in the underlying assets when pricing European exchange options, which has not been considered in the literature. An Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with the mean -reversion property is selected to model the ma ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Targeted capillary photothrombosis via multiphoton excitation of Rose Bengal
Microvascular stalling, the process occurring when a capillary temporarily loses perfusion, has gained increasing interest in recent years through its demonstrated presence in various neuropathologies. Studying the impact of such stalls on the surrounding ...
2023Skew-Brownian motion and pricing European exchange options br
This article derives a closed-form pricing formula for European exchange options under a non-Gaussianframework for the underlying assets, intending to resolve mispricing associated with a geometric Brownianmotion. The dynamics of each of the two correlated ...
