Evaluation of equity-based debt obligations
Alexander Fromm
We consider a class of participation rights, i.e. obligations issued by a company to investors who are interested in performance-based compensation. Albeit having desirable economi…
The Skorokhod embedding problem for inhomogeneous diffusions
Stefan Ankirchner, Stefan Engelhardt, Alexander Fromm +1
We solve the Skorokhod embedding problem for a class of stochastic processes satisfying an inhomogeneous stochastic differential equation (SDE) of the form $d A_t =μ(t, A_t) d t +…
The method of decoupling fields generalized to higher spatial derivatives
Alexander Fromm
This work studies the spatial derivatives of decoupling fields to strongly coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations in a Brownian setting. We formally deduce the…
Utility maximization via decoupling fields
Alexander Fromm, Peter Imkeller
We consider the utility maximization problem for a general class of utility functions defined on the real line. We rely on existing results which reduce the problem to a coupled fo…
