Replicating portfolio approach to capital calculation

Damir Filipovic, Mathieu Jacques David Cambou

The replicating portfolio (RP) approach to the calculation of capital for life insurance portfolios is an industry standard. The RP is obtained from projecting the terminal loss of discounted asset–liability cash flows on a set of factors generated by a fa ...

Dynamic Product Portfolio Management with Life Cycle Considerations

Ralf Seifert, Isik Bicer

We consider a portfolio of products in which each product probabilistically transitions through various life cycle stages. The evolution through these life cycle stages is impacted by both marketing support and product launch decisions, which are bound by ...

On The Number Of Ordinary Conics

Frank de Zeeuw, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

We prove a lower bound on the number of ordinary conics determined by a finite point set in R-2. An ordinary conic for S subset of R-2 is a conic that is determined by five points of S and contains no other points of S. Wiseman and Wilson proved the Sylves ...

Distinct Values Of Bilinear Forms On Algebraic Curves

Frank de Zeeuw, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

Let B-M : C x C -> C be a bilinear form B-M(p, q) - p(T)Mq, with an invertible matrix M is an element of C-2x2. We prove that any finite set S contained in an irreducible algebraic curve C of degree d in C determines Omega(d)(vertical bar S vertical bar(4/ ...

Remarks on Schur's conjecture

János Pach, Filip Moric

Let P be a set of n > d points in for d >= 2. It was conjectured by Zvi Schur that the maximum number of (d-1)-dimensional regular simplices of edge length diam(P), whose every vertex belongs to P, is n. We prove this statement under the condition that any ...

Macroeconomic conditions and a firm's investment decisions

We propose a model of a firm's reversible investment decision with macroeconomic conditions based on optimal switching of a diffusion regime. The switching costs and the cash flow generated from the firm depend on a business cycle alternating via a Markov ...

Role of high-order electromechanical coupling terms in thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films

Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov

Currently used methods for the description of thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films (Landau theory or ab initio based Monte Carlo simulations) are based on an energy expansion in terms of internal degrees of freedom. It was shown that these methods ca ...

Essays in Financial Economics

In the first chapter of this thesis, I empirically show that the time delay firms face in raising outside capital affects cash holdings. I exploit the 2005 US Securities Offering Reform (the Reform) as a quasi-natural experiment. For a subset of large publ ...

Institutional Investors and Mutual Fund Governance: Evidence from Retail-Institutional Fund Twins

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

Advisors often manage multiple versions of a fund. These "twins" have the same manager and similar performance but are sold to different investors with differing abilities to select and monitor managers. Comparing investor flows in retail and institutional ...

Collaborative working capital management in supply networks

Supply chain management is widely accepted as a means for companies to gain competitive advantage. While product and information flows have been widely covered in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the management of a supply chain ...

Interrelating operational and financial performance measurements in inventory theory

Financial flows are often treated in a fragmented and disconnected way from the physical product flow. Managers take decisions from an operational point of view concerning inventory, service level or capacity needs. The implementation of such decisions inf ...
