Evaluation of Optional Cancellation Contracts using Quantitative Finance Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of evaluating the cost of the optionality to cancel a future delivery of a commodity when the seller has a number of markets to choose from. The technique has potential applications to contracts of Liquefied Natural Gas loads and requires solving certain diffusion problems in a multi-variable context.

A Quantitative Dynamic Agency Model of Financing Constraints
Recent theoretical research in corporate finance has highlighted the role of incentive problems between firms’ investors and insiders in determining corporations’ financial structures, dynamics and investment policies. Financial contracts are designed to mitigate these agency conflicts. However, most of the analysis is qualitative in nature. This paper develops a dynamic firm model in order to ...
متن کاملImproving Linearity of CMOS Variable-gain Amplifier Using Third-order Intermodulation Cancellation Mechanism and Intermodulation Distortion Sinking Techniques
This paper presents an improved linearity variable-gain amplifier (VGA) in 0.18-µm CMOS technology. The linearity improvement is resulted from employing a new combinational technique, which utilizes third-order-intermodulation (IM3) cancellation mechanism using second-order-intermodulation (IM2) injection, and intermodulation distortion (IMD) sinking techniques. The proposed VGA gain cell co...

متن کاملOptional decomposition and Lagrange multipliers
Let Q be the set of equivalent martingale measures for a given process S, and let X be a process which is a local supermartingale with respect to any measure in Q. The optional decomposition theorem for X states that there exists a predictable integrand φ such that the difference X−φ ·S is a decreasing process. In this paper we give a new proof which uses techniques from stochastic calculus rat...
