We study the exponential utility indifference valuation of a contingent claim B in an incomplete market driven by two Brownian motions. The claim depends on a nontradable asset stochastically correlated with the traded asset available for hedging. We use martingale arguments to provide upper and lower bounds, in terms of bounds on the correlation, for the value V B of the exponential utility ma...

2 The Merton model, which is used for modeling default probabilities, is based on the assumption that the equity value is an option on the asset of a company with the strike price equal to the company debts. In the Merton model, it is implicitly assumed that debts last for a fixed period of time, and determining the default point that is the strike price of the option has been controversial in ...

More than ever, asset operators and OEMs are investing in fleetwide monitoring systems. With the roll out of these monitoring systems, huge amounts of sensory data are generated. In a single Gigawatt power plant, asset monitoring systems sort through terabytes of sensory data per week. To contend with the volume and velocity of sensory data, analytics and data management techniques are employed...

The titular question is investigated for fairly general semimartingale investment and asset price processes. A discrete-time consideration suggests a stochastic differential equation and an integral expression for the time value in the continuous-time framework. It is shown that the two are equivalent if the jump part of the price process converges. The integral expression, which is the answer ...

This paper investigates Black–Scholes call and put option thetas, and derives upper and lower bounds for thetas as a function of underlying asset value. It is well known that the maximum time premium of an option occurs when the underlying asset value equals the exercise price. However, we show that the maximum option theta does not occur at that point, but instead occurs when the asset value i...

We consider the impact of “large” changes in asset prices on intra-market correlations in domestic and international markets. Assuming normally distributed asset returns, we show that the absolute magnitude of the correlation, conditional on a change greater than or equal to a given absolute size of one of the variables, is monotonically increasing in the magnitude of that absolute change. Empi...

We implement a dynamic asset pricing experiment in the spirit of Lucas (1978) with storable assets and non-storable cash. In one treatment we impose diminishing marginal returns to cash to incentivize consumption-smoothing across periods, while in a second treatment there is no induced motive for trade. In the former case we find that subjects use the asset to smooth consumption though the asse...

This paper shows evidence (SMEs) can maintain higher firm value by innovation activities such as R&D expenditure, asset counted R&D expenditure, and cost asset-counted R&D expenditure has higher effect on the firm value than cost expenditure. Moreover, the additional result shows that business, innobiz firms, and management innovati Medium Business Administration (SMBA) for policy purpose maint...

Trading at prices above the fundamental value of an asset, i.e. a bubble, has been verified and replicated in laboratory asset markets for the past seven years. To date, only common group experience provides minimal conditions for common investor sentiment and trading at fundamental value. Rational expectations models do not predict the bubble and crash phenomena found in these experimental mar...

Laboratory asset markets provide an experimental setting in which to observe investor behavior. Over more than a decade, numerous studies have found that participants in laboratory experiments frequently drive asset prices far above fundamental value, after which the prices crash. This bubble-and-crash behavior is robust to variations in a number of variables, including liquidity (the amount of...
