  2. 1. Valuation and Optimal Strategies in Markets Experiencing Shocks

    Author : Hannah Dyrssen; Erik Ekström; Damien Lamberton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; American options; optimal stopping; game options; jump diffusion; jump to default; free-boundary problems; early exercise premium; integral equation; parabolic pde; convexity; sequential testing; fixed-point approach; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats a range of stochastic methods with various applications, most notably in finance. It is comprised of five articles, and a summary of the key concepts and results these are built on.The first two papers consider a jump-to-default model, which is a model where some quantity, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Applications of Bayesian Econometrics to Financial Economics

    Author : Christoffer Bengtsson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; systemic risk; stochastic volatility; jump-diffusion; shrinkage; covariance matrix estimation; estimation risk; portfolio selection; mean-variance optimization; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Bayesian econometrics; ekonomisk politik; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk teori; ekonometri; Nationalekonomi; economic policy;

    Abstract : This PhD thesis consists of four separate papers. What these papers have in common is that Bayesian Econometrics, in combination with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, is applied to study various problems in financial economics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pricing of Some Path-Dependent Options on Equities and Commodities

    Author : Mats Kjaer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cliquet options with global floor; Commodity swing options; Storage valuation; Correlation matrix modelling; Bachelier-Samuelson model; Jump-diffusion models; Futures curve models; Parabolic PDE PIDEs; Numerical integration; Finite difference methods.;

    Abstract : This thesis brings together three papers about the pricing of European and Bermudan path-dependent options, and one paper about the stochastic modelling of a futures price curve. Paper one proposes a fast numerical method to compute the price of so called cliquet options with global floor, when the underlying asset follows the Bachelier-Samuelson model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Calibration, Optimality and Financial Mathematics

    Author : Bing Lu; Erik Ekström; Stephane Villeneuve; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; perpetual put option; calibration of models; piecewise constant volatility; optimal liquidation of an asset; incomplete information; optimal stopping; jump-diffusion model; optimal distribution of dividends; singular stochastic control; implied volatility; exponential Lévy models; short-time asymptotic behavior.;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of a summary and five papers, dealing with financial applications of optimal stopping, optimal control and volatility.In Paper I, we present a method to recover a time-independent piecewise constant volatility from a finite set of perpetual American put option prices.

  7. 5. Essays on Financial Risks and Derivatives with Applications to Electricity Markets and Credit Markets

    Author : Rikard Green; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Jump Diffusion Process; Stochastic Volatility; VaR; Electricity Markets; Market Risk; Forward Curve; Credit Risk; Currency Effects;

    Abstract : Contracts traded on international financial and commodity markets are associated with complex risk structures. In this dissertation we are concerned with two specific types of risks; market risks and credit risks. The first chapter investigates market risks in the context of the Nordic electricity market.
