Endogenous Instability in Credit-Constrained Emerging Economies with Leontief Technology by Cristiana Mammana, Elisabetta Michetti

“…Using bifurcation and stability analysis, we describe the properties of the system attractors, we assess the plausibility for complex dynamics and, we find out that border collision bifurcations can emerge due to the fact that the state space is piecewise smooth. …”

An Analysis of Asymptotic Properties and Error Control under the Exponential Jump-Diffusion Model for American Option Pricing by Mohamed Maidoumi, Boubker Daafi, Mehdi Zahid

“…Our work is aimed at modeling the American option price by combining the dynamic programming and the optimal stopping time under two asset price models. In doing so, we attempt to control the theoretical error and illustrate the asymptotic characteristics of each model; thus, using a numerical illustration of the convergence of the option price to an equilibrium price, we can notice its behavior when the number of paths tends to be a large number; therefore, we construct a simple estimator on each slice of the number of paths according to an upper and lower bound to control our error. …”
