The financialization of the term structure of risk premia in commodity markets

Edouard Jaeck In this paper, I examine how financialization affects the term structure of risk premia by using an equilibrium model for commodity futures markets. I define financialization as the ...

Unbiased Monte Carlo estimate of stochastic differential equations expectations

Mahamadou Doumbia, Nadia Oudjane,  Xavier Warin  We propose an unbiased Monte Carlo method to compute E(g(XT ))  where g is a Lipschitz function and X an Ito process. This ...

Contracting Theory with Competitive Interacting Agents

Romuald Elie, Dylan Possamaï In a framework close to the one developed by Holmstrom and Milgrom [44], we study the optimal contracting scheme between a Principal and several Agents. Each ...

Pricing American options using martingale bases

J. Lelong In this work, we propose an algorithm to price American options by directly solving the dual minimization problem introduced by Rogers [2002]. Our approach relies on approximating the ...

Forward Feynman-Kac Type Representation for Semilinear Nonconservative Partial Differential Equations

Anthony LE CAVIL, Nadia OUDJANE and Francesco RUSSO We propose a nonlinear forward Feynman-Kac type equation, which represents the solution of a nonconservative semilinear parabolic Partial Differential Equations (PDE). We show ...

Numerical Approximation of a Cash-Constrained Firm Value with Investment Opportunities

RR-Fime-16-04 Erwan Pierre, Stéphane Villeneuve, Xavier Warin We consider a singular control problem with regime switching that arises in problems of optimal investment decisions of cash-constrained firms. The value function ...
