An Adverse Selection Approach to Power Tarification

Clémence Alasseur, Ivar Ekeland, Romuald Élie, Nicolás Hernández Santibáñez and Dylan Possamaï We study the optimal design of electricity contracts among a population of consumers with different needs. This question is ...

Capacity Expansion Games with Application to Competition in Power Generation Investments

R. Aid, L. Li, M. Ludkovski We consider competitive capacity investment for a duopoly of two distinct producers. The producers are exposed to stochastically uctuating costs and interact through aggregate ...

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 ...

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 ...

On the Robustness of the Snell envelope

Pierre Del Moral, Peng Hu, Nadia Oudjane, Bruno Remillard We analyze the robustness properties of the Snell envelope backward evolution equation for the discrete time optimal stopping problem. We consider ...
