Compound Lévy random bridges and credit risky asset pricing
… study random bridges of a certain class of Lévy processes and their applications to credit risky asset pricing. In the first part, we construct the compound random bridges(CLRBs) and analyze some tools and properties that make them suitable models for information processes. We focus on the Markov …
