Ethical Issues In Contract Drafting/Negotiation
In a transactional practice, procedural choices can substantively affect the ultimate deal. In particular, a poor procedural choice can lead to the loss of future procedural privileges in ways that disadvantage the client; and in extreme cases, a lawyer's poor procedural choice can tank the deal altogether. Despite this, many...

A Simple Approach For Pricing Equity Options With Markov Switching State Variables
This paper develops a lattice method for pricing equity options when volatility switches between many states. The approach is an extremely parsimonious one, and we show that it is feasible to compute prices for American type derivatives in polynomial time, i.e. O(kn2k). The model is computationally efficient, and may be...

Strategy Execution: The Next Major "Point Of Inflection"
During the 1980s and 1990s, performance improvements (e.g., total quality management, kaizen, just-in-time, reengineering) succeeded the strategic era. It, too, has followed the S-curve trajectory. Organizations cannot win by cost reduction alone and cannot invent appropriate strategic responses fast enough to stay abreast of nimble rivals. The next point of...

Random Lattices For Option Pricing Problems In Finance
While the use of Monte Carlo methods is well established for pricing derivatives, this paper focuses on a random-lattice approach, also known in the literature as the stochastic-mesh method. The method is reviewed here. It shows that the method may be refined with an ad-hoc bias correction that suitably adjusts...

Monte Carlo Markov Chain Methods For Derivative Pricing
Derivative security pricing relies increasingly on lattice representations of stochastic processes. When the lattice is of high dimension, exhaustive enumeration becomes conceptually costly. Instead, Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate lattice value by sampling appropriately from the nodes. Naïve sampling can lead to substantial error in estimation because the...
