This paper examines some standard open-economy New Keynesian models to address the question of how globalisation affects the inflation process. Specifically, it investigates how the Phillips curve for consumer price inflation in a country is affected by openness, and how the optimal choice of monetary policy is influenced by openness. The paper compares models that assume producer currency pric...

The standard Black-Scholes theory of option pricing is extended to cope with underlying return fluctuations described by general probability distributions. A Langevin process and its related Fokker-Planck equation are devised to model the market stochastic dynamics, allowing us to write and formally solve the generalized Black-Scholes equation implied by dynamical hedging. A systematic expansio...

Numerous research have been discovered to developed internationalization process model (investment to other country market). Like Johanson and Vahlne, they are among the first to discuss the internationalization process model. There are four key items underlying Johanson and Vahlne’s model, those are market knowledge, market commitment, commitment decision, and current activities. However, many...

We address a method for pricing electricity contracts based on valuation of ability to produce power, which is considered as the true underlying for electricity derivatives. This approach shows that an evaluation of free production capacity provides a framework where a change–of–numeraire transformation converts electricity forward market into the common settings of money market modeling. Using...

This paper studies modeling and existence issues for market models of option prices in a continuous-time framework with one stock, one bond and a family of European call options for one fixed maturity and all strikes. After arguing that (classical) implied volatilities are ill-suited for constructing such models, we introduce the new concepts of local implied volatilities and price level. We sh...

In this paper, we modeled an artificial European option market under unknown volatility with liquidity costs using an agent-based modeling and simulation approach. The option price in the presence of liquidity costs is given by solving a partial differential equation. We proved that both unknown volatility and the unknown drift have significant effects in the pricing bias. Moreover, pricing bia...

JEL code: G14 In this paper, we examine the impact of market activity on the percentage bid-ask spreads of S&P 100 index options using transaction data. We propose a new market microstructure theory called a derivative hedge theory, in which option market percentage spreads will be inversely related to the option market maker's ability to hedge his positions in the underlying market, as measure...

ion. We suggest that formal methods of real option pricing have an important stake in the domain of positive theory regarding the market valuation of investments under uncertainty. As happens in science, the extension of these methods to other domains confronts new data and modeling challenges. Several innovations have been
