Pricing American drawdown options under Markov models

X Zhang, L Li, G Zhang - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
The drawdown in the price of an asset shows how much the price falls relative to its
historical maximum. This paper considers the pricing problem of perpetual American style …

Speed and duration of drawdown under general Markov models

L Li, P Zeng, G Zhang - Quantitative Finance, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
We propose an efficient computational method based on continuous-time Markov chain
(CTMC) approximation to compute the distributions of the speed and duration of drawdown …

On the analysis of deep drawdowns for the Lévy insurance risk model

D Landriault, B Li, MA Lkabous - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the magnitude and the duration of deep drawdowns for the Lévy
insurance risk model through the characterization of the Laplace transform of a related …

On taxed spectrally negative Lévy processes with draw-down stopping

F Avram, NL Vu, X Zhou - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper we consider a spectrally negative Lévy risk model with tax. With the ruin time
replaced by a draw-down time with a linear draw-down function and for a constant tax rate …

Parisian ruin for a refracted Lévy process

MA Lkabous, I Czarna, JF Renaud - Insurance: Mathematics and …, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper, we investigate Parisian ruin for a Lévy surplus process with an adaptive
premium rate, namely a refracted Lévy process. Our main contribution is a generalization of …

Optimal dividends under a drawdown constraint and a curious square-root rule

H Albrecher, P Azcue, N Muler - Finance and Stochastics, 2023 - Springer
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal dividend payout strategies from a surplus
process governed by Brownian motion with drift under a drawdown constraint, ie, the …

Generalized expected discounted penalty function at general drawdown for Lévy risk processes

W Wang, P Chen, S Li - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2020 - Elsevier
This paper considers an insurance surplus process modeled by a spectrally negative Lévy
process. Instead of the time of ruin in the traditional setting, we apply the time of drawdown …

A unified approach for drawdown (drawup) of time-homogeneous Markov processes

D Landriault, B Li, H Zhang - Journal of Applied Probability, 2017 - cambridge.org
Drawdown (respectively, drawup) of a stochastic process, also referred as the reflected
process at its supremum (respectively, infimum), has wide applications in many areas …

Exit problems for general draw-down times of spectrally negative Lévy processes

B Li, NL Vu, X Zhou - Journal of Applied Probability, 2019 - cambridge.org
For spectrally negative Lévy processes, we prove several fluctuation results involving a
general draw-down time, which is a downward exit time from a dynamic level that depends …

Beating the Omega clock: an optimal stopping problem with random time-horizon under spectrally negative Lévy models

N Rodosthenous, H Zhang - 2018 - projecteuclid.org
We study the optimal stopping of an American call option in a random time-horizon under
exponential spectrally negative Lévy models. The random time-horizon is modeled as the so …
