This research investigates the consequences of the increase in corporate use of short-term debt in China over the past decades. Using a sample of Chinese firms from 2007 to 2018, we empirically explore the effect of corporate use of short-term debt for long-term investment (SFLI) on audit pricing. We first examine the relationship between SFLI and audit pricing for different groups of firms. Then, we investigate the role of the increase in short-term debt in alleviating principal-agent conflicts and reducing agency costs. We have four primary empirical findings. First, auditors tend to charge SFLI clients higher fees. Second, the negative relationship between SFLI and audit fee is found in private firms, firms audited by Chinese domestic auditors, and firms with higher information asymmetry. Third, the time auditors spent on SFLI clients is significantly more than that spent on non-SFLI clients, suggesting that the decrease in audit fee is not due to the decrease in cost. Fourth, SFLI significantly reduces the agency costs of the firm, which auditors regard as a low risk signal and grant an audit fee discount. Our findings suggest that the decrease in debt maturity, not only influences managerial behaviors, but also influences auditors' risk assessment and pricing decisions.

Real Time Pricing(RTP) is used not only to stabilize the price volatility in electricity market, but to hedge the price risk for Load Serving Entity(LSE). This paper presents an efficient method to reduce the risk of the price volatility in real-time electricity market. For designing the RTP, load patterns of customer are calculated by applying the demand elasticity and customer's utility is also analyzed to compute the RTP revenue through the risk-attribute of the LSE. In the end, the distribution of the LSE's profits can be evaluated to lead the optimal RTP value, depending on the level of customer's participation. Results from the case study based on PJM data are reported to illustrate the proposed method.

In this paper, we investigate the valuation of vulnerable exchange option that has credit risk of option issuer. The reduced-form model is used to model credit risk. We assume that credit event is determined by the jump of the counting process with stochastic intensity, which follows the mean reverting process. We propose a simple approach to derive the closed-form pricing formula of vulnerable exchange option under the reduced-form model and provide the pricing formula as the standard normal cumulative function.

The real option pricing theory has emerged as the new investment decision-making techniques superceding the traditional discounted cash flow techniques and thus has greatly received muck attention from academics and practitioners in these days the theory has been widely applied to a variety of corporate strategic projects such as a new drug R&D, an internet start-up. an advanced manufacturing system. and so on A lot of people who are interested in the real option pricing theory complain that it is difficult to understand the true meaning of the real option value. though. One of the most conspicuous reasons for the complaint may be due to the fact that there exit many different ways to calculate the real options value in this paper, we will present a replicating portfolio method. a risk-neutral probability method. a risk-adjusted discount rate method (quasi capital asset pricing method). and an opportunity cost concept-based method under the conditions of a binomial lattice option pricing theory.

In this paper, we investigate a pricing model for mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) of a pay-through type of collateral mortgage obligation (CMO), embedded call options, which can be exercised by the intermediary, and pass-through MBSs. We suggest a prepayment-risk-neutral pricing model, applying a reduced-form prepayment rate model, and then compute and investigate the appropriate prices and spreads in the coupon rates between CMOs and PT MBSs. We believe that this study contributes in that it provides a sophisticated pricing model for MBSs, especially to the financial markets which are not advanced enough to finance with a simple type of MBSs.

본 연구는 서구형 기업의 자본비용 산출에 이용되는 CAPM에 근거하여 이슬람기업의 자본조달비용을 이론적으로 분석해 보았다. 첫째, 무위험이자율이 존재하지 않는 경우 이슬람기업의 증권선은 원점에서부터 출발하여 우상향한다. 이 경우 증권선의 기울기는 무위험이자율이 존재하는 경우의 기울기보다 큰 데, 이는 동일한 체계적 위험에 대해 이슬람기업은 서구형 기업보다 더 높은 자본비용을 지불해야 하기 때문이다. 둘째, 종교세인 자카트의 효과를 고려한 경우, CAPM에서 무위험이자율은 최소수익률로 대체된다. 이슬람기업의 증권선은 여전히 우상향하지만 원점을 통과하지는 않는다. 왜냐하면 이슬람기업은 무위험투자를 할 수 없기 때문이다. 향후에는 본 연구에서 연구수단으로 이용한 CAPM의 이론적인 한계를 극복하기 위해, 차익거래가격결정모델(Arbitrage Pricing Model)과 같은 다변수접근법을 이용하여, 이슬람기업의 자본비용을 도출해 보고자 한다.

자동차 보험 산업에 있어 담보되는 위험도에 따른 적정 보험가격의 산출은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 자동차 보험 산업에서 보험가격 산출 방법이 어떻게 발전되어 왔는지에 대하여 고찰하고, 여러 통계적인 방법으로 산출한 보험가격과 실제 담보되는 위험도의 비교 분석을 통하여 보다 나은 통계적 보험가격 산출 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 그 중에서 일반선형모형을 중심으로 다루었으며, 오차항의 분포에 대한 다양한 가정을 통하여 최적의 접근 방법에 대한 논의를 하였다. 일반선형모형에 있어 오차항의 분포에 대한 적절한 가정은 모형의 최적화를 위한 중요한 가정이다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 널리 사용되지 않았음에도 불구하고 자동차 보험 사고 손해액과 매우 유사한 성격을 가지고 있는 트위디 분포를 오차항의 분포 가운데 하나로 적용하여 비교하였다. 실증자료 분석으로서 국내 자동차 보험사의 실제 자료를 통하여 여러 접근 방법에 대한 적정성 비교를 수행하였다.

We show assets can be classified into diversifiable risks and non-diversifiable risks based on aggregate endowment and spanning so that in equilibrium agents eliminate diversifiable risks which must have zero values. Consequently, the benchmark portfolio that represents a pricing operator should have only a non-diversifiable risk, aggregate endowment should earn a positive risk premium over a riskless asset, and, even in incomplete markets, there should be a pricing operator represented by a function of aggregate endowment if any asset mean-independent of aggregate endowment is diversifiable. These results apply to both the CAPM and a representative agent model.

As the U.S. Congress has continued to debate over the health care reform pushed by President Obama, there is an ample reason to believe that the systematic risk of the health care industry, especially health care plan providers, is increasing. This study measures and compares the systematic risk of two health care industry indexes and one portfolio of health care plan providers from before and after the introduction of the health care legislation into Congress in September, 2009. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to measure the systematic risk, and a dummy variable approach and the Chow test are used to formally compare the systematic risk from before and after the introduction of the legislation.

Weather derivatives designed to manage casual changes of weather, as opposed to catastrophic risks of weather, are relatively a new class of financial instruments. There are still many theoretical and practical challenges to the effective use of these instruments. The objective of this paper is to develop a pricing approach for valuing weather derivatives and presents a case study that is practical enough to be used by the risk managers of electrical utility firms. Utilizing daily average temperature data of Guangzhou, China from $1^{st}$ January 1978 to $31^{st}$ December 2010, this paper adopted a univariate time series model to describe weather behavior dynamics and calculates equilibrium prices for weather futures and options for an electrical utility firm in the region. The results imply that the risk premium is an important part of derivatives prices and the market price of risk affects option values much more than forward prices. It also demonstrates that weather innovation as well as weather risk management significantly affect the utility's financial outcomes.
