The last ten years has seen the introduction and rapid growth of a market in weather derivatives, financial instruments whose payoffs are determined by the outcome of an underlying weather metric. These instruments allow ...
Although there is a plentiful literature on the use of evolutionary methodologies for the trading of Financial assets, little attention has been paid to the issue of efficient trade execution. Trade execution is concerned ...
Although there is a plentiful literature on the use of evolutionary methodologies for the trading of financial assets, little attention has been paid to potential use of these methods for efficient trade execution. Trade ...
Trade execution is concerned with the actual mechanics of buying or selling the desired amount of a financial instrument of interest. A practical problem in trade execution is how to trade a large order as efficiently as ...
This paper investigates the risk-return relationship in determination of housing asset pricing. In so doing, the paper evaluates behavioral hypotheses advanced by Case and Shiller (1988, 2002, 2009) in studies of boom and ...
We present an acceleration technique, effective for explicit finite difference schemes
describing diffusive processes with nearly symmetric operators, called Super-Time-
Stepping (STS). The technique is applied to the ...
A scaled self-decomposable stochastic process put forward by Carr, Geman, Madan
and Yor (2007) is used to model long term equity returns and options prices. This
parsimonious model is compared to a number of other ...

This paper proposes the use of wavelet methods to estimate U.S. core inflation. It explains wavelet methods and suggests they are ideally suited to this task. Comparisons are made with traditional CPI-based and regression-based ...
Asset allocation is critical for the portfolio management process. In this paper, we solve a dynamic asset allocation problem through a multiperiod stochastic programming model. The objective is to maximise the expected ...
