Unveiling Synergy Gains in Divestitures Using Options Market Information1

We find that divestitures generate economically significant synergy gains that exceed $1 billion for both acquirers and sellers.

High order compact finite difference schemes for a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation [PDF]
A nonlinear Black-Scholes equation which models transaction costs arising in the hedging of portfolios is discretized semi-implicitly using high order compact finite difference schemes. In particular, the compact schemes of Rigal are generalized.
