Efficient Monte Carlo Valuation of Corporate Bonds in Financial Networks

Valuing corporate bonds in systemic economies is challenging due to intricate webs of inter-institutional exposures. When a bank defaults, cascading losses propagate through the network, with payments determined by a system of fixed-point equations lacking closed-form solutions. Standard Monte Carlo

Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Rare-Event Simulation

Standard rare-event simulation techniques require exact distributional specifications, which limits their effectiveness in the presence of distributional uncertainty. To address this, we develop a novel framework for estimating rare-event probabilities subject to such distributional model risk. Spec

Robust Optimal Strategies for Early Liquidation in Financial Systems

We study the problem of asset liquidation in financial systems. During financial crises, asset liquidation is often inevitable but can lead to substantial losses if a significant amount of illiquid assets are sold simultaneously at depressed prices – a phenomenon known as price impact. To tackle th
