Integrated optimization of procurement, processing, and trade of commodities

SK Devalkar, R Anupindi, A Sinha - Operations Research, 2011 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider the integrated optimization problem of procurement, processing, and trade of
commodities in a multiperiod setting. Motivated by the operations of a prominent commodity …

Modeling the dynamics of correlations among implied volatilities

R Engle, S Figlewski - Review of Finance, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Implied volatility (IV) reflects both expected empirical volatility and also risk premia.
Stochastic variation in either creates unhedged risk in a delta hedged options position. We …

General closed-form basket option pricing bounds

R Caldana, G Fusai, A Gnoatto, M Grasselli - Quantitative Finance, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
This article presents lower and upper bounds on the prices of basket options for a general
class of continuous-time financial models. The techniques we propose are applicable …

Pricing exchange options with correlated jump diffusion processes

N Cufaro Petroni, P Sabino - Quantitative Finance, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
We study the applicability to energy facilities of a model for correlated Poisson processes
generated by self-decomposable jumps. In this context, the implementation of our approach …

Pricing basket spread options with default risk under Heston–Nandi GARCH models

X Wang, H Zhang - The North American Journal of Economics and Finance, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper, we investigate basket spread options under the Heston–Nandi GARCH model.
Moreover, we adopt the reduced-form model to capture default risk, which is correlated with …
