Strategic Investment Decisions under Fast Mean-Reversion Stochastic Volatility
We are concerned with investment decisions when the spanning asset that correlates with the investment value undergoes a stochastic volatility dynamics. The project value in this case corresponds to the value of an American call with dividends, which can be priced by solving a generalized Black-Scholes free boundary value problem. Following ideas of Fouque et al., under the hypothesis of fast m...
متن کاملComparing Beliefs, Surveys, and Random Walks
Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probability arguments, a common derivation of survey propagation, belief propagation and several interesting hybrid methods. We then present numerical experiments which use WSAT (a widely used random-walk based SAT solver) to...
متن کاملIrreversible investment with Cox-Ingersoll-Ross type mean reversion
We solve a Dixit and Pindyck type irreversible investment problem in continuous time under the assumption that the project value follows a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross process. This setup works well for modeling foreign direct investment in the framework of real options, when the exchange rate is uncertain and the project value fixed in a foreign currency. We indicate how the solution qualitatively diffe...
متن کاملMean field conditions for coalescing random walks
The main results in this paper are about the full coalescence time C of a system of coalescing random walks over a finite graph G. Letting m(G) denote the mean meeting time of two such walkers, we give sufficient conditions under which E [C] ≈ 2m(G) and C/m(G) has approximatelly the same law as in the “mean field” setting of a large complete graph. One of our theorems is that mean field behavio...
متن کاملOptimal switching decisions under stochastic volatility with fast mean reversion
We study infinite–horizon, optimal switching problems under a general class of stochastic volatility models that exhibit “fast” mean–reversion by using techniques from homogenisation theory. This leads to perturbation theory, providing closed–form approximations to the full switching problem which is often intractable, both analytically and numerically. We apply our general results to certain, ...
