We consider a structural model to design and evaluate the American call, conversion, and put options embedded in corporate bonds. We use dynamic programmin...

, , , and

The estimation of the structural model poses a major challenge as its underlying asset (the firm's asset value) is not directly observable. We extend the m...

BibTeX reference

We use stochastic dynamic programming to design and solve an extended structural setting for which the illiquidity of the firm's assets under liquidation i...

We use NORTA (NORmal To Anything) to enhance normal credit-risk factor settings in modeling common risk factors and capturing contagion effects...

An exchangeable bond is a debt that is convertible into shares of a firm's equity other than the bond's issuer. We evaluate an exchangeable bond within a two...

Most structural models for valuing corporate securities assume a geometric-Brownian motion to describe the firm's assets value. However, this does not reflec...

BibTeX reference
, , and

We develop a general structural model for valuing risky corporate debts that takes into account both default and interest rate risk. We propose a two-dimensi...

Lévy processes provide a solution to overcome the shortcomings of the lognormal hypothesis. A growing literature proposes the use of pure-jump Lévy processe...

We propose a dynamic program coupled with finite elements for valuing two-dimensional American-style options. To speed-up our procedure, we use parallel comp...

We propose a quasi-analytical approach for valuing American-style options under Gaussian and double exponential jumps à la Merton (1976) and Kou (2002). Our ...

We design and implement a dynamic program (DP) for valuing corporate securities, seen as derivatives on a firm's assets, and computing the term structure o...

We propose a stochastic dynamic program for valuing options on stock-index futures. The model accounts for deterministic, seasonally varying dividends gene...

The aim of this paper is to compute upper and lower bounds for convex value functions of derivative contracts. Laprise et al. (2006) compute bounds for Ame...

This paper presents a non--technical account of the developments in tree--based methods for the analysis of survival data with censoring. This review desc...

We explore the role of the discount on closed-end funds (CEFD) in asset pricing and weakly tests its validity as a proxy for sentiment in the Canadian stock ...

This paper provides a general procedure for pricing American- and European-style interest rate derivatives within multifactor affine term structure models....

The risk-adjusted selection and timing performance (alphas and gammas) of a comprehensive and survivorship-free sample of Canadian equity SRI funds after (be...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the pricing of the Chicago Board of Trade Treasury-Bond futures. The difficulty to price it arises from its multiple ...

Discrete-time survival data with time-varying covariates are often encountered in practice. One such example is bankruptcy studies where the status of each f...

The main purpose of this paper is to apply the True Notional Bond System (TNBS) proposed by Oviedo (2006) for the theoretical pricing of the Chicago Board ...
