      Computational assessment of distributed decomposition methods for stochastic linear programs 

      Vladimirou, Hercules (1998)
      Incorporating uncertainty in optimization models gives rise to large, structured mathematical programs. Decomposition procedures are well-suited for parallelization, thus providing a promising venue for solving large ...

      Distributed stochastic power control for time-varying long-term and short-term fading wireless networks 

      Olama, M. M.; Djouadi, S. M.; Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Sahyoun, S. (2007)
      In this paper, new time-varying wireless channel models that capture both the space and time variations of longterm and short-term fading wireless networks are developed. The proposed models are based on stochastic ...

      A dynamic stochastic programming model for international portfolio management 

      Topaloglou, Nikolas; Vladimirou, Hercules; Zenios, Stavros A. (2008)
      We develop a multi-stage stochastic programming model for international portfolio management in a dynamic setting. We model uncertainty in asset prices and exchange rates in terms of scenario trees that reflect the empirical ...

      Integrated dynamic models for hedging international portfolio 

      Topaloglou, Nikolas; Vladimirou, Hercules; Zenios, Stavros A. (The Wharton Financial Institutions CenterThe Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, PA, 2017-12)
      We develop scenario-based stochastic programming models for hedging the risks of international portfolios using options. The models provide an increasing level of integration in managing market and foreign exchange (FX) ...

      Modelling significant wave height in the North Atlantic 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Rychlik, I.; Wilson, R. J. (2003)
      The surface of the ocean, and so such quantities as the significant wave height, can be thought of as a random surface in space which develops over time. In this paper, we explore certain types of random fields (in space ...

      Optimizing international portfolios with options and forwards 

      Topaloglou, Nikolas; Vladimirou, Hercules; Zenios, Stavros A. (2011)
      We develop a stochastic programming model to address in a unified manner a number of interrelated decisions in international portfolio management: optimal portfolio diversification and mitigation of market and currency ...

      Pricing and Hedging GDP-Linked Bonds in Incomplete Markets 

      Consiglio, Andrea; Zenios, Stavros A. (The Wharton Financial Institutions Center. The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, PA, 2017-09)
      We model the super-replication of payoffs linked to a country's GDP as a stochastic linear program on a discrete time and state-space scenario tree to price GDP-linked bonds. As a byproduct of the model, we obtain a hedging ...

      Pricing options on scenario trees 

      Topaloglou, Nikolas; Vladimirou, Hercules; Zenios, Stavros A. (2008)
      We examine valuation procedures that can be applied to incorporate options in scenario-based portfolio optimization models. Stochastic programming models use discrete scenarios to represent the stochastic evolution of asset ...

      Risk management for sovereign financing within a debt sustainability framework 

      Athanasopoulou, Marialena; Consiglio, Andrea; Erce, Aitor; Gavilan Gonzalez, Angel; Moshammer, Edmund; Zenios, Stavros A. (European Stability Mechanism Working Paper No. 31, 2018-09)
      The mix of instruments used to finance a sovereign is a key determinant of debt sustainability through its effect on funding costs and risks. We extend standard debt sustainability analysis to incorporate debt-financing ...

      Risk management optimization for sovereign debt restructuring 

      Consiglio, Andrea; Zenios, Stavros A. (Journal of Globalization and Development, Vol. 6(2), pp. 181–213, Feb. 2016.; The Wharton School Financial Institutions Centre No. 14-10., 2015-12)
      Debt restructuring is one of the policy tools available for resolving sovereign debt crises and, while unorthodox, it is not uncommon. We propose a scenario analysis for debt sustainability and integrate it with scenario ...

      Stochastic debt sustainability analysis for sovereigns and the scope for optimization modeling 

      Consiglio, Andrea; Zenios, Stavros A. (The Wharton Financial Institutions Center. The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, PA., 2017-05)
      We express the opinion that sovereign debt sustainability analysis must be augmented by stochastic correlated risk factors and a risk measure to capture tail effects. Crisis situations can thus be adequately specified and ...
