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 ...

Equilibrium Driven by Discounted Dividend Volatility

Semyon Malamud

We derive representations for the stock price drift and volatility in the equilibrium of agents with arbitrary, heterogeneous utility functions and with the aggregate dividend following an arbitrary Markov diﬀu- sion. We introduce a new, intrinsic characte ...

Liquidity in the Foreign Exchange Market: Measurement, Commonality, and Risk Premiums

Angelo Ranaldo

A daily return reversal measure of liquidity is developed and estimated using a new comprehensive ultra-high frequency data set of foreign exchange rates during the financial crisis period of 2007--2008. The measure captures market participants' perception ...

Unspanned Stochastic Volatility and the Pricing of Commodity Derivatives

Anders Trolle

Commodity derivatives are becoming an increasingly important part of the global derivatives market. Here we develop a tractable stochastic volatility model for pricing commodity derivatives. The model features unspanned stochastic volatility, quasi-analyti ...

An Extension of ETF Arbitrage to Sector Trading Using ANN

Utkarsh Upadhyay, Ramnik Arora

We design and deploy a trading strategy that mirrors the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) arbitrage technique for sector trading. Artiﬁcial Neural Networks (ANNs) are used to capture pricing relationships within a sector using intra-day trade data. The fair pric ...

Long Run Forward Rates and Long Yields of Bonds and Options in Heterogeneous Equilibria

Semyon Malamud

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 ...

Multi-agent modelling of electricity markets

Abdelaziz Lahlou

This thesis describes the development of three conceptual models built to serve as decision support tools in liberalised electricity markets. The introduction of competition, higher uncertainty and decentralised planning requires new planning and analysis ...

Credit Derivatives in an Affine Framework

Damir Filipovic, Li Chen

An efficient method for valuing credit derivatives based on three entities is developed in an affine framework. This includes interdependence of market and credit risk, joint credit migration and counterparty default risk of three forms. As an application ...

Capital structure, credit risk, and macroeconomic conditions

Erwan Morellec

This paper develops a framework for analyzing the impact of macroeconomic conditions on credit risk and dynamic capital structure choice. We begin by observing that when cash flows depend on current economic conditions, there will be a benefit for firms to ...

Unspanned stochastic volatility and fixed income derivatives pricing

Pierre Collin Dufresne

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 ...
