Research topics

Credit Risk and Counterparty Risk

Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) is the risk that the counterparty of an OTC deal will default before the maturity of the contract. The Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) tries to measure the expected loss due to missing the remaining payments

Model Risk in Derivative Pricing

How calibration error can affect the reliability of exotic derivative prices

Default Risk Premium

How to estimate a corporate structural model, by using data from credit and stock market, and reconstruct the dynamics of the market value of assets and debt, and the default boundary, for a sample of non-financial firms

Efficient Pricing of Basket Options

Closed form lower and upper bounds on the prices of basket options for a general class of continuous-time financial models.

Efficient Pricing of Swaptions

Efficient pricing of European-style swaptions for a wide class of interest rate models
