Optimal Risk Sharing in the Presence of Moral Hazard under Market Risk and Jump Risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a tractable framework to study optimal risk sharing between an investor and a firm with general utility forms in the presence of moral hazard under market risk and jump risk. We show that, for a two-date discrete-time moral hazard model, there exists a continuous-time model that obtains the same optimal result. Moreover, we characterize the optimal risk sharing explicitly, in particular, the structural effect of jump risk on the optimal allocations.

Moral hazard premium: Valuation of moral hazard under diffusive and jump risks
We provide an equilibrium asset pricing formula under moral hazard on the assumption of a power utility function and an endogenous riskless rate. Moral hazard is defined here as a firm’s change of measure that is incontractible. We show explicitly in closed form that moral hazard distorts asset prices by (1) moving the market price of diffusive risk in the opposite direction to an investor’s ma...
متن کاملGeneral Equilibrium Returns to Human and Investment Capital under Moral Hazard
We present a tractable general equilibrium model with multiple sectors in which firms offer workers incentive contracts and simultaneously raise capital in stock markets. Workers optimally invest in the stock market and at the same time hedge labour income risk. Firms rationally take agents’ portfolio decisions into account. In equilibrium, the cost of capital of each sector is endogenous. The ...
متن کاملOption Pricing in the Presence of Operational Risk
In this paper we distinguish between operational risks depending on whether the operational risk naturally arises in the context of model risk. As the pricing model exposes itself to operational errors whenever it updates and improves its investment model and other related parameters. In this case, it is no longer optimal to implement the best model. Generally, an option is exercised in a jump-...
متن کاملRediscounting Under Aggregate Risk with Moral Hazard
In a 1999 paper, Freeman proposes a model in which discount window lending and open market operations have different outcomes—an important development because in most of the literature the results of these policy tools are indistinguishable. Freeman’s conclusion that the central bank should absorb losses related to default to provide risk-sharing goes against the concern that central banks shou...
متن کاملHedging of Options in Jump-Diffusion Markets with Correlated Assets
We consider the hedging problem in a jump-diffusion market with correlated assets. For this purpose, we employ the locally risk-minimizing approach and obtain the hedging portfolio as a solution of a multidimensional system of linear equations. This system shows that in a continuous market, independence and correlation assumptions of assets lead to the same locally risk-minimizing portfolio. ...
