  • Title: Pricing Defaultable Participating Contracts with Regime Switching and Jump Risk
(Xiaoshan Su emlyon business school Joint work with Professor Olivier Le Courtois and Professor Francois Quittard Pinon)
  • Abstract:
This paper provides a regime switching jump diffusion framework for pricing defaultable participating life insurance contracts. This framework assumes the value of underlying asset portfolio evolves as a geometric regime switching double exponential jump diffusion and default happens when its value crosses a level with regard to initial policyholder premium. The flexible regime switching double exponential jump diffusion model gives the semi-closed form formula for the price of the life insurance contract and the price can be obtained by further computation using numerical two-sided Laplace inversion method. The Euler summation technique is used to speed up the convergence rate of two-dimensional Laplace inversion method in Cai and Shi (2015) and the ”worst state” is defined to help control the discretion and truncation errors of numerical two-sided Laplace inversion in the regime switching case. An illustration concludes the paper and addresses the respective impacts of different risk sources on the price of the life insurance contracts.

  • Title: Structural Pricing of CoCos and Deposit Insurance with Regime Switching and Jumps​
​(Xiaoshan Su emlyon business school Joint work with Professor Olivier Le Courtois)
  • Abstract:
In this article, we construct a structural model with jumps and regime switching to price banks’ contingent convertible debt (CoCos) and deposit insurance. We use an Esscher transform that is applicable to regime switching double exponential jump diffusions to move from the historical world to the risk-neutral world. Further, we define and implement a matrix Wiener-Hopf factorization associated with the latter processes, allowing us to price the various components of a bank’s balance sheet. Thus, we obtain valuation formulas for the bank’s equity, debt, deposits, CoCos, and deposit insurance. We also show in an illustration the respective effects of the jump risk and of regime switching on the values of all of a bank’s balance sheet components.

  • Title: Non-Asymptotic Properties of Regularized Multivariate ARCH models
  • Abstract:
We provide finite sample properties of regularized multivariate ARCH processes, where the linear representation of ARCH models allows for an ordinary least square estimation. Under the restricted strong convexity of the unpenalized loss function, regularity conditions on the regularizer, strict stationary and beta-mixing process, we prove non-asymptotic error bounds on the regularized ARCH estimators. Moreover, based on the primal-dual witness method, we establish variable selection consistency, including the case when the regularizer is non-convex. These theoretical results are supported by simulation studies.

  • Title: Statistical inference for price staleness
  • Abstract:
Asset prices recorded at a high frequency are more sluggish than implied by the semi-martingale hypothesis. 
We propose a new general framework formalizing this phenomenon. We provide a limit theory for Idle-time (an economic indicator for price flatness) and related quantities. This allows to quantify the level of staleness in an asset price adjustment and to test two different hypothesis. First, whether the extent of sluggishness is constant or time-varying. Second, whether the sluggishness is persistent. The empirical application on US stocks provides the evidence that stock price flatness is both time-varying and persistent, especially during the crisis.
