Lurking Patent Claims and Strategic Royalty Contracts

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes optimal licensing contracts when a licensee faces the risk of future infringement claims by unknown patent holders. In a setting where a noncompeting licensor contracts with a monopolistic manufacturer, fixed‐fee licensing is optimal absent such claims.

Dynamic capital allocation in general insurance

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper provides a model for allocating capital to different insurance lines with varying development periods for a value‐maximizing insurance company. In our model, the company makes capitalization and exposure decisions considering its capital level and its relevant loss history.

Contingent capital: A tale of two valuations

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs. We develop a novel Twin‐Tree Model with Jumps (TTMJ) that models the insurer's asset value dynamics by incorporating catastrophe risk, insolvency risk ...

Analysing reforms of social security disability pension provision in a multistage overlapping generations model

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces a multi‐stage Overlapping Generations (OLG) model of workers and retirees, segmented by disability status and eligibility for Disability Pension (DP) benefits. Extending Gertler (1999) with progressive disability stages of distinct productivity and transition probabilities, and calibrated to US data, the model generates ...

Nonparametric Inference of Conditional Expectile Functions in Large‐Scale Time Series Data With Improved Efficiency

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Expectile is a coherent and elicitable law‐invariant risk measure widely applied in risk management. Existing methods based on iteratively reweighted least squares (IWLS) are not computationally efficient for large‐scale sample sizes. To overcome the issue, we develop a direct nonparametric conditional expectile function estimator by inverting

On the Existence of One‐Sided Representations for the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model (GDFM) and show that the dynamic common component, that is, the common component of the GDFM, can be expressed using only current and past observations under mild assumptions. Specifically, we require (i) the dynamic common component to be purely non‐deterministic and (ii) the exclusion of ...

Testing Distributional Granger Causality With Entropic Optimal Transport

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a novel nonparametric test for Granger causality in distribution based on entropic optimal transport. Unlike classical mean‐based approaches, the proposed method directly compares the full conditional distributions of a response variable with and without the history of a candidate predictor.
