Radiography; Profit or Loss

The use of radiographic images in dentistry to diagnose caries and other dental diseases has always been inevitable. Almost half of all dental caries are diagnosed only by radiography. However, given the benefits of this method for diagnosing the disease, X-ray examinations have undeniable risks for the patient due to the use of ionizing radiation and their improper use increases the risk of th...

Profit loss in Cournot oligopolies

We consider a Cournot oligopoly model where multiple suppliers (oligopolists) compete by choosing quantities. We compare the aggregate profit achieved at a Cournot equilibrium to the maximum possible, which would be obtained if the suppliers were to collude. We establish a lower bound on the profit of Cournot equilibria in terms of a scalar parameter derived from the inverse demand function and...

On the Profit and Loss Distribution of Dynamic Hedging Strategies

Hedging a derivative security with non-risk-neutral number of shares leads to portfolio profit or loss. Unlike in the Black-Scholes world, the net present value of all future cash flows till maturity is no longer deterministic, and basis risk may be present at any time. The key object of our analysis is probability distribution of future P&L conditioned on the present value of the underlying. W...
