Pricing Autocallables under Local-Stochastic Volatility
(2023)Peter Carr Gedenkschrift. Research Advances in Mathematical FinanceThis chapter investigates the pricing of single-asset autocallable barrier reverse convertibles in the Heston local-stochastic volatility (LSV) model. Despite their complexity, autocallable structured notes are the most traded equity-linked exotic derivatives. The autocallable payoff embeds an early redemption feature generating strong path and model dependency. Consequently, the commonly used local volatility (LV) model is overly simplified ...Book Chapter -
Approximation with Independent Variables
(2023)Peter Carr Gedenkschrift. Research Advances in Mathematical FinanceGiven a square integrable m-dimensional random variable X on a probability space (Ω, ℱ, ℙ) and a sub sigma-algebra A, we show that there exists another m-dimensional random variable Y, independent of A and minimizing the L² distance to X. Such results have an importance to fairness and bias reduction in artificial intelligence, machine learning and network theory.Book Chapter -

Researching Otherwise
(2024)How can landscape and urban studies more effectively engage in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness and affect, and pluriversal worlds? Researching Otherwise presents sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools for crafting new spaces of knowledge production. Through activities such as drawing, photographing, sounding, listening, filmmaking, walking, and mapmaking, researchers explore regenerative futures in new ways. ...Edited Volume -
Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e. indicator for ...Book Chapter
