The interdependence of options is common among compound options. Moreover, this interconnectedness is synonymous with probability theory-how a set of axioms are treated. The conditionality, where one option value is dependent on another option, has spilled over to option pricing, especially exchange options. However, it seems that no study has explored whether that simultaneous occurrence of two options is conditional or not. This study uses conditional approaches (Radon–Nikodým derivative and probability theory) to illustrate conditionality in an exchange option. Furthermore, hedging strategy is derived based on straddles. The results show that due to conditionality another exotic option, tri-conditional option (also known as triple option) is derived. The hedging of a triple option encompasses both dynamic and static techniques.

The paper investigates the impact of fair value accounting for illiquid assets (so-called ‘Level 2’ and ‘Level 3’ assets by accounting rules) on banks’ valuation and focuses on the change in relative weight of Level 3 (the most opaque and illiquid assets) with respect to Level 2 assets. The boundary between Level 3 and Level 2 assets is blurred and less clear than the one between Level 1 and Level 2 assets. Such unclear borderline entails corporate governance issues and provides room for opportunistic behavior by managers to opt for less transparent instruments. The paper proposes the change in Level 3-to-Level 2 assets ratio as a new measure to capture deviations in the opacity of bank assets and suggests a negative relationship between this ratio and bank’s price-to-book value. The rationale behind this relationship is that market participants interpret growth in Level 3-to-Level 2 assets ratio as an increase in bank’s opacity, since Level 3 assets might be as illiquid as Level 2 assets with the benefit of a less transparent model-based valuation technique. Based on a sample of 33 European banks from 2009 to 2018, I find that an increase of 100[Formula: see text]bps in Level 3-to-Level 2 assets ratio is linked to a decrease of about 74[Formula: see text]bps in the price-to-book value. Results are robust for different measures of firm relative valuation and using a different measure of illiquidity in fair value assets holdings (Level 2-to-Level 1 assets ratio).

The main purposes of this paper are (i) to review investment, financing, dividend, and production policies in some detail; (ii) to discuss how these four policies are interrelated and integrate these four policies into a composite policy; (iii) to discuss the impacts of financing, dividend, and production policies on the beta coefficient; and (iv) to develop hypotheses to be used for empirical studies on the interaction among financing, dividend, and production policies. A theoretical relationship between beta coefficient and financing, dividend, and production policies is developed. This paper gives an overall view of the four policies used in finance education and research for the last five decades.

The stock jumps of the underlying assets underpinning the Margrabe options have been studied by Cheang and Chiarella [Cheang, GH and Chiarella C (2011). Exchange options under jump-diffusion dynamics. Applied Mathematical Finance, 18(3), 245–276], Cheang and Garces [Cheang, GHL and Garces LPDM (2020). Representation of exchange option prices under stochastic volatility jump-diffusion dynamics. Quantitative Finance, 20(2), 291–310], Cufaro Petroni and Sabino [Cufaro Petroni, N and Sabino P (2020). Pricing exchange options with correlated jump diffusion processes. Quantitate Finance, 20(11), 1811–1823], and Ma et al. [Ma, Y, Pan D and Wang T (2020). Exchange options under clustered jump dynamics. Quantitative Finance, 20(6), 949–967]. Although the authors argue that they explored stock jumps under Hawkes processes, those processes are the Poisson process in their applications. Thus, they studied Hawkes processes in-between two assets while this study explores Hawkes process within any asset. Furthermore, the Poisson process can be flipped into Hawkes process and vice versa. In terms of hedging, this study uses specific Greeks (rho and phi) while some of the mentioned studies used other Greeks (Delta, Theta, Vega, and Gamma). Moreover, hedging is carried out under static and dynamic environments. The results illustrate that the jumpy Margrabe option can be extended to complex barrier option and waiting to invest option. In addition, hedging strategies are robust both under static and dynamic environments.

Project 254 signed in November 2011 which is relating to “Restructuring the system of credit institutions in the period of 2011–2015” has been considered as a milestone in marking the Vietnamese government to prevent the influence of the financial crisis of 2008. This paper identifies hypotheses evaluating the impact of restructuring measurements on the risk of the Vietnamese’s commercial banks in 10 years, starting from 2008. Using the OLS regression method for analysis by running Eviews and ANOVA test in SPSS with a unique database of 216 observations of 31 commercial banks in Vietnam, it was found that: (i) The bail-out activities of the State Bank of Vietnam in 2015 does not influence on bank risk, (ii) The mergers and acquisitions (M&A) do not support the bank to reduce risk, it increases the risk for acquiring banks, (iii) The global crisis 2008 exerts dire consequence on the bank system in Vietnam, (iv) There is the difference of risk among the groups of the bank experiencing a different number of years of operation. Basing on this result, the paper also makes recommendations to the Government, The State Bank of Vietnam and the commercial banks for effective risk management toward the development of the Vietnamese banking system.

In this paper, we examine the price discovery patterns in the three BRICS countries’ stock index futures markets which were launched after 2000 – China, India, and Russia. We find the futures market dominates the price discovery process in China and India, but less so in Russia. A closer examination reveals the dynamic nature of the price discovery process, and the significant impacts on futures’ price discovery functions from China’s regulatory changes in September 2015 and Russia’s economic sanctions in March 2014. The results also show a more balanced and bidirectional volatility spillover between futures and spots in China and India than in Russia.

Directors’ monitoring and advising activities as agents were supposed to increase after the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly increases the pressure on the board of directors to be more effective agents of the stockholders even after the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) became effective. Director compensation, especially incentive-based compensation, is intended to align with the interests of shareholders and motivate director behavior. This paper empirically tests how banks respond to the Dodd-Frank Act by redesigning their director compensation plans. Our findings suggest that banks recognize the need for improved board monitoring by highlighting the importance of director workload and qualifications through the design of director compensation packages in the post-Dodd-Frank Act period. We also find that the negative impact of excessive director equity compensation on firm performance was attenuated after the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. The findings of this study shed light on the rationale of director compensation policies for banking firms.

A procedure confirms whether a return-factor correlation is anomalous or results from endogenous simultaneous-equations bias. The identification strategy sorts the cost of capital components for instruments. In the first stage, the initially found factors are regressed on cost instruments. In the second stage, a confirmed anomaly has predicted value significant in returns and exogenous. Taxes, depreciation and capital structure are strong instruments, affecting 1980–2017 quarterly U.S. stock returns. Size, value and profitability decisions are significant in instruments. Returns increase in fitted profits, but not small size. Actual and predicted values have weaker correlation with returns over time.

This paper examines the career of economist Prof. George Kaufman, whose work combined and benefited both academia and the financial industry, helping both better understand the problems of financial stability, financial regulation, and financial sector competition. In doing so, he brought together great minds from both fields and helped many economists progress in their careers. Prof. Kaufman promulgated the idea that government policy needed to foster two simple goals: proper incentives and competitive markets. He believed the combination would produce a richer society and more stable economy. He created the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Conference on Bank Structure and Competition, the leading conference in the world addressing financial regulatory issues for 50 years. Prof. Kaufman also founded the U.S. Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee in 1986 in the midst of the thrift crisis, helping to solve that crisis and inspiring the creation of other shadow financial regulatory committees around the world. Through his activities, he left behind an outstanding legacy of leadership, research, and opinion in various economic fields, providing platforms upon which many scholars will build in the coming decades.
