RESEARCH INTERESTS

Financial Economics, Mathematical Finance.

I am currently involved in a number of projects related to commodity markets (some of them in collaboration with Rikard Green and Marcus Nossman). Projects touch upon stochastic modelling of commodity prices (and volatility) with applications to risk management, valuation of derivative assets and real options. Another project deals with equilibrium asset pricing in the commodity market context.
