基于条件蒙特卡罗方法的信用违约互换合约定价

多标的资产违约相关性结构的度量及其联合违约时间的模拟是信用违约互换合约定价的关键.Copula函数和蒙特卡罗模拟是解决此关键问题的有力工具,被广泛应用于信用衍生品定价.本文基于因子t-copula模型,结合条件蒙特卡罗模拟,构建了计算第7n次信用违约互换合约的条件蒙特卡罗算法.该算法能够捕捉多标的资产违约的尾部相关性,更准确地度量标的资产组合的违约风险及提高违约事件的模拟效率.数值结果表明,在考虑尾部相关性的情形下,采用重要抽样技术的JK算法和改进的JK算法是不稳定的,不能达到减方差的目的;而本文新构建的定价算法更稳定,在高斯copula和t-copula模型下,都能够有效减小估计量的方差,提高信用违约互换合约的定价精度和可靠性.     

基于资金约束零售商的双渠道制造商贸易信贷与提前订货折扣契约选择策略研究

在市场需求不确定情形下,研究了当零售商存在资金约束,而双渠道制造商采用三种不同契约策略时,供应链各主体运作策略和收益.结果指出:当零售商资金不足而制造商为其提供贸易信贷契约时,零售商订货资金不足的困境得到有效解决,零售商和双渠道制造商的利润均高于无任何契约时各主体利润;当零售商资金不足而制造商在其网络渠道提供提前订货折扣契约时,制造商的利润始终高于无任何契约时其所得的利润,而零售商的利润始终不高于无任何契约时其所得的利润;最后,当制造商联合采用两种不同契约时,制造商收益始终高于零售商无资金约束时其所得利润,即供应链中零售商资金约束困境对制造商来说并非始终是有害的,制造商可以通过在双渠道联合采用两种不同契约的方法获得更多的收益.

基于离散时间风险模型下的亏损破产概率的研究

新定义离散时间风险模型下的亏损破产概率为初始盈余u,亏损额度不大于y的破产概率。利用离散时间风险模型下的终时破产概率的计算规律,得到初始盈余水平在不同条件下的亏损破产概率的具体表达形式,并且数值模拟了一定条件下不同参数取值对亏损破产概率的影响情况,数据表明当亏损边界固定时,随着初始盈余水平的增加,亏损破产概率水平逐渐减小;当初始盈余水平固定时,随着亏损边界的增加,亏损破产概率水平逐渐增多。     

Forecasting VaR models under Different Volatility Processes and Distributions of Return Innovations

This paper provides clear‐cut evidence that the out‐of‐sample VaR (value‐at‐risk) forecasting performance of alternative parametric volatility models, like EGARCH (exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) or GARCH, and Markov regime‐switching models, can be considerably improved if they are combined with skewed distributions of asset return innovations. The performance of these models is found to be similar to that of the EVT (extreme value theory) approach. The performance of the latter approach can also be improved if asset return innovations are assumed to be skewed distributed. The performance of the Markov regime‐switching model is considerably improved if this model allows for EGARCH effects, for all different volatility regimes considered.

The US Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate: Structural Modeling and Forecasting During the Recent Financial Crises

The paper investigates the determinants of the US dollar/euro within the framework of the asset pricing theory of exchange rate determination, which posits that current exchange rate fluctuations are determined by the entire path of current and future revisions in expectations about fundamentals. In this perspective, we innovate by conditioning on Fama–French and Carhart risk factors, which directly measures changing market expectations about the economic outlook, on new financial condition indexes and macroeconomic variables. The macro‐finance augmented econometric model has a remarkable in‐sample and out‐of‐sample predictive ability, largely outperforming a standard autoregressive specification. We also document a stable relationship between the US dollar/euro Carhart momentum conditional correlation (CCW) and the euro area business cycle. CCW signals a progressive weakening in economic conditions since June 2014, consistent with the scattered recovery from the sovereign debt crisis and the new Greek solvency crisis exploded in late spring/early summer 2015.

技术和价格不确定下企业研发投资决策研究

随着科学技术的迅速发展,研发(RD)活动对企业的生存与发展日益重要.本文将企业研发投资项目所承受的风险分为两种:研发前期不可对冲的技术风险,以及研发产品投入市场时因价格和需求的不确定性所承受的价格风险,而后者是可以部分对冲的.本文考虑一个以创新研发投资为主的企业,如何进行相应的投资消费问题.通过建立效用最大化模型,运用随机最优控制理论与方法得到关于指数效用函数的最优策略,同时阐述了研发投资价值及其投资/中止阈值.数值结果表明:较大的技术风险,会产生更大的信息生成价值,使得研发的总价值不减反增;风险厌恶态度对企业的研发价值以及研发/中止阈值都有较明显的影响;因研发信息生成价值的存在,使得研发/中止阈值不同于传统净现值(NPV)降为零的阈值.     

Forecasting High‐Frequency Risk Measures

This article proposes intraday high‐frequency risk (HFR) measures for market risk in the case of irregularly spaced high‐frequency data. In this context, we distinguish three concepts of value‐at‐risk (VaR): the total VaR, the marginal (or per‐time‐unit) VaR and the instantaneous VaR. Since the market risk is obviously related to the duration between two consecutive trades, these measures are completed with a duration risk measure, i.e. the time‐at‐risk (TaR). We propose a forecasting procedure for VaR and TaR for each trade or other market microstructure event. Subsequently, we perform a backtesting procedure specifically designed to assess the validity of the VaR and TaR forecasts on irregularly spaced data. The performance of the HFR measure is illustrated in an empirical application for two stocks (Bank of America and Microsoft) and an exchange‐traded fund based on Standard & Poor's 500 index. We show that the intraday HFR forecasts capture accurately the volatility and duration dynamics for these three assets. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
