Pricing Chinese Convertible Bonds with Learning-Based Monte Carlo Simulation Model

Axioms
In this paper, we explore a novel model for pricing Chinese convertible bonds that seamlessly integrates machine learning techniques with traditional models. The least squares Monte Carlo (LSM) method is effective in handling multiple state variables and

On characterization of a class of convex operators for pricing insurance risks [PDF]

The properties of risk measures or insurance premium principles have been extensively studied in actuarial literature. We propose an axiomatic description of a particular class of coherent risk measures defined in Artzner, Delbaen, Eber, and Heath (1999).
