Application of Noise2Inverse and adaptation (Noise2Phase) to single‐mask x‐ray phase contrast micro‐computed tomography

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract X‐ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI), when implemented in micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) mode, offers high‐contrast 3D imaging of weakly‐attenuating material samples. In the so‐called single‐mask edge illumination approach, a mask with periodically spaced transmitting apertures is used to split the x‐ray beam into narrow beamlets; when ...

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Strategic Stake Acquisitions in Rival Firms: Common vs. Cross‐Ownership

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study how a blockholder who controls a firm should acquire a minority stake in a rival: directly, creating common ownership, or indirectly through the controlled firm, creating cross‐ownership. Common ownership generates stronger internalization of competitive externalities and allows the blockholder to capture the resulting gains without ...

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 ...
