  • The paper studies the evolution of the financial markets and pays the basic attention to the role of financial innovations (derivative securities) in this process. A characterization of both complete and incomplete markets is given through an identification of the sets of contingent claims and terminal wealths of self-financing portfolios. the dynamics of the financial system is described as a movement of incomplete markets to a complete one when the volume of financial innovations is growing up and the spread tends to zero (the Merton financial innovation spiral). Namely in this context the paper deals with the problem of pricing risks in both field: finance and insurance.

  • This paper presents a methodology of estimating incomplete information in electricity markets for analyzing the gaming behavior of Generating Companies (GENCOs). Each GENCO needs to model its opponents' unknown information of strategic biddings and cost functions. In electricity markets with complete information, each GENCO knows its rivals' payoff functions and tries to maximize its own profit at Nash equilibriurnl Nli) by acknowledging the rivals' cost function. On the other hand, in the incomplete information markets, each GENCO lacks information about its rivals. Load patterns can change continuously due to many factors such as weather, price, contingency, etc. In this paper, we propose the method of the estimation of the opponents' cost function using market price, transaction quantities. and customer load patterns. A numerical example with two GENCOs is illustrated to show the basic idea and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

  • The purpose of this paper is studying the valuation of option prices in Incomplete markets. A market is said to be incomplete if the given traded assets are insufficient to hedge a contingent claim. This situation occurs, for example, when the underlying stock process follows jump-diffusion processes. Due to the jump part, it is impossible to construct a hedging portfolio with stocks and riskless assets. Contrary to the case of a complete market in which only one equivalent martingale measure exists, there are infinite numbers of equivalent martingale measures in an incomplete market. Our research here is focusing on risk minimizing hedging strategy and its associated minimal martingale measure under the jump-diffusion processes. Based on this risk minimizing hedging strategy, we characterize the dynamics of a risky asset and derive the valuation formula for an option price. The main contribution of this paper is to obtain an analytical formula for a European option price under the jump-diffusion processes using the minimal martingale measure.

  • We show how the dynamic optimization problem with the capital constraint can be reduced to the problem to find an optimal modified claim $\tilde{\psi}H$ where $\tilde{\psi}$ is a randomized test in the static problem. Coherent risk measure is used as risk measure in the $L^{\infty}$ random variable spaces. The paper is written in expository style to some degree. We use an average risk of measure(AVaR), which is a special coherent risk measure, to see how to hedge the modified claim in a complete market model.
