Mass Claims under ICSID

Superreplication under Volatility Uncertainty for Measurable Claims

We establish the duality formula for the superreplication price in a setting of volatility uncertainty which includes the example of random G-expectation. In contrast to previous results, the contingent claim is not assumed to be quasi-continuous.

A Psychological Perspective on the Settlement of Mass Tort Claims

Active Mass under Pressure

After a historical introduction to Poisson’s equation for Newtonian gravity, its analog for static gravitational fields in Einstein’s theory is reviewed. It appears that the pressure contribution to the active mass density in Einstein’s theory might also be noticeable at the Newtonian level. A form of its surprising appearance, first noticed by Richard Chase Tolman, was discussed half a century...

Heart disease claims under the California Workmen's Compensation Act.

HE Cardiac in Industry Committee of the California Heart Association in 1951 initiated a study of the problem of the causation or aggravation of heart disease by occupational factors. This field seemed particularly pressing because important decisions affecting the employment of persons with heart disease, and in arranging insurance for them, were being based more uipoin speculation than upon f...

Valuation of default-sensitive claims under imperfect information (Publisher's Erratum)

We propose a valuation method for financial assets subject to default risk, where investors cannot observe the state variable triggering the default but observe a correlated price process. The model is sufficiently general to encompass a large class of structural models and can be seen as a generalization of the model of Duffie and Lando (Econometrica 69:633–664, 2001). In this setting we prove...
