چکیده

The Equity Default Swaps (EDS) has rapidly grabbed an increasing market share and hence drawn lots of attention recently. This newly invented financial instrument is designed to insure that if the underlying stock price drops to a specified low boundary during certain time horizon, the contract seller compensates the buyer by a designated amount of money. For instance, IBM stock is now traded at $100 today. Party A for some hypothetical reasons does not want the price drop to $5, so party A calls party B to purchase an EDS contract, under which B pays A $1,000,000 if the stock price sinks below $5. Party B in return demands a price for selling the contract.

Risk measurement and Implied volatility under Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure for Levy process

This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain   risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...

Outperformance Testing of a Dynamic Assets Portfolio Selection Supplemented with a Continuous Paths Levy Process

This study aims at getting a better performance for optimal stock portfolios by modeling stocks prices dynamics through a continuous paths Levy process. To this end, the share prices are simulated using a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion model. Then, we use the results to form the optimal portfolio by maximizing the Sharpe ratio and comparing the findings with the outputs of the conv...

A Novel Charging Plan for PEVs Aggregator Based on Combined Market and Network Driven Approach

With the large-scale production of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a new entity, the PEV fleet aggregator manages charging and discharging processes of the vehicles. The main objective of an individual aggregator in interaction with electricity markets is maximizing its profit. In this paper, the performance of this aggregator in day-ahead and real-time electricity markets, considering (a) cu...

Increasing Operating Room Profits and Decreasing Wait Lists by Use of a Data-Driven Overbooking Model

Background and Objectives: Operating rooms (ORs) are precious resources in hospitals, as they constitute more than 40% of the hospital revenues.As such, surgical cancellations are very costly to hospitals. Same-day surgery cancellations or no-shows were found to be the main contributing factor to underutilization of operating rooms (ORs) in a public-sector hospital despite the ...

Numerical Solution of Multidimensional Exponential Levy Equation by Block Pulse Function

The multidimensional exponential Levy equations are used to describe many stochastic phenomena such as market fluctuations. Unfortunately in practice an exact solution does not exist for these equations. This motivates us to propose a numerical solution for n-dimensional exponential Levy equations by block pulse functions. We compute the jump integral of each block pulse function and present a ...
