  2. 11. Studies in Mortgage Pricing and Finance Theory

    Author : Stefan Toll; Bengt Turner; Thomas Lindh; Timothy Riddiough; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Mortgage pricing; Finance theory; Reverse mortgages; Optimal loan contracts; Credit risk; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of three self-contained essays.Essay 1 examines the question of why reverse or participating mortgages have not been as much in demand as predicted. A theoretical framework is derived for evaluating the expected utility associated with a reverse or participating mortgage. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers (Paper A-E) on statistical modeling of diffusion processes. Two papers (Paper A & D) consider Maximum Likelihood estimators for non-linear diffusion processes. READ MORE

  6. 14. Essays on Gaussian Probability Laws with Stochastic Means and Variances : With Applications to Financial Economics

    Author : Anders Eriksson; Lars Forsberg; Menelaos Karanasos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; Approximating a function of random variables; Skewness Modeling; Skewed GARCH process; Lévy Process; Option pricing; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : This work consists of four articles concerning Gaussian probability laws with stochastic means and variances. The first paper introduces a new way of approximating the probability distribution of a function of random variables. This is done with a Gaussian probability law with stochastic mean and variance.

  7. 15. Optimal Stopping and Model Robustness in Mathematical Finance

    Author : Henrik Wanntorp; Johan Tysk; Svante Janson; Boualem Djehiche; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimal stopping; model robustness; American options; free boundary problems; hedging; option pricing; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : Optimal stopping and mathematical finance are intimately connected since the value of an American option is given as the solution to an optimal stopping problem. Such a problem can be viewed as a game in which we are trying to maximize an expected reward. READ MORE
