      An, Ta Thi Kieu; Øksendal, Bernt; Proske, Frank (Journal article, 2008)

      The single auction equilibrium of Kyle's (1985) is studied, in which noise traders may be partially informed, or alternatively they can be manipulated. Unlike Kyle's assumption that the quantity traded by the noise ...
    • Optimal consumption and portfolio in a jump diffusion market 

      Framstad, Nils Christian; Øksendal, Bernt; Sulem, Agnès (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-06)
      We consider the problem of optimal consumption and portfolio in a jump diffusion market consisting of a bank account and a stock, whose price is modeled by a geometric Lévy process. We show that in the absence of transaction ...
    • Optimal control of predictive mean-field equations and applications to finance 

      Øksendal, Bernt; Sulem, Agnès (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      We study a coupled system of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by a Brownian motion and a compensated Poisson random measure, consisting of a forward SDE in the unknown process X(t) and a predictive ...
    • Optimal control of systems with noisy memory and BSDEs with Malliavin derivatives 

      Øksendal, Bernt; Mohammed, Salah-Eldin; Røse, Elin Engen; Dahl, Kristina Rognlien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In this article we consider a stochastic optimal control problem where the dynamics of the state process, X(t), is a controlled stochastic differential equation with jumps, delay and noisy memory. The term noisy memory ...

    • Optimal multi-dimensional stochastic harvesting with density-dependent prices 

      Alvarez, Luis H.; Lungu, Edward; Øksendal, Bernt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      We prove a verification theorem for a class of singular control problems which model optimal harvesting with density-dependent prices or optimal dividend policy with capitaldependent utilities. The result is applied to ...
    • A short introduction to mathematical finance 

      Øksendal, Bernt (Discussion paper, Working paper, 1998)
      We give a brief survey of some fundamental concepts, methods and results in the mathematics of finance. The survey covers the 3 topics Chapter 1: Markets and arbitrages. The one-period model. The multi-period model. The ...
    • Stackelberg equilibria in continuous newsvendor models with uncertain demand and delayed information 

      Øksendal, Bernt; Sandal, Leif Kristoffer; Ubøe, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      We consider explicit formulae for equilibrium prices in a continuous-time vertical contracting model. A manufacturer sells goods to a retailer, and the objective of both parties is to maximize expected profits. Demand ...
    • Stochastic Stackelberg equilibria with applications to time dependent newsvendor models 

      Sandal, Leif Kristoffer; Øksendal, Bernt; Ubøe, Jan (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2011-05)
