The Role of Index Fund Ownership in the Era of Say‐on‐Pay

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether and how index funds influence executive compensation in the post‐Say‐on‐Pay era. Using the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes as a source of exogenous variation in index fund ownership, we document a causal effect of index ownership on CEO pay structure.

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.

An Alternative Method for Analytical Solutions of Two-Dimensional Black-Scholes-Merton Equation

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2023
We present a method of deriving analytical solutions for a two-dimensional Black-Scholes-Merton equation. The method consists of three changes of variables in order to reduce the original partial differential equation (PDE) to a normal form and then ...

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Goodness‐of‐fit tests are suggested for several popular jump‐diffusion processes. The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...

CEO Narcissism and Related Party Transactions

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the association between CEO narcissism and the likelihood of engaging in related party transactions (RPTs) and its influence on the value implications of these transactions. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of board monitoring on the relationship between CEO narcissism and the value effects of RPTs. We find that CEO narcissism

An adaptive moving mesh method for a time-fractional Black–Scholes equation

Advances in Difference Equations, 2019
In this paper we study the numerical method for a time-fractional Black–Scholes equation, which is used for option pricing. The solution of the fractional-order differential equation may be singular near certain domain boundaries, which leads to ...

The modified homotopy perturbation method and its application to the dynamics of price evolution in Caputo-fractional order Black Scholes model

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Background Following a financial loss in trades due to lack of risk management in previous models from market practitioners, Fisher Black and Myron Scholes visited the academic setting and were able to mathematically develop an option pricing equation ...

Unveiling Synergy Gains in Divestitures Using Options Market Information1

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use stock and options information to decompose and provide a practical measure of the market's beliefs about the different sources of value creation from divestitures. We find that divestitures generate economically significant synergy gains that exceed $1 billion for both acquirers and sellers.

Lie Symmetries of (1+2) Nonautonomous Evolution Equations in Financial Mathematics

Mathematics, 2016
We analyse two classes of ( 1 + 2 ) evolution equations which are of special interest in Financial Mathematics, namely the Two-dimensional Black-Scholes Equation and the equation for the Two-factor Commodities Problem. Our approach is that of Lie
