My research concerns first of all financial securities, their markets and their use and second the firms’ decision-making (in financing, investment, financial risk management, etc.). My favorite set of financial assets are bonds and derivatives (such as options, futures and CDS). Derivatives are very useful tools to model and understand the decisions made by corporations. Real options allow one to assess investment opportunities and price intangible flexibilities. Investigating in–depth practical aspects, hedging strategies, valuation models and empirical stylized facts help to answer some open questions and solve challenging real-life problems.
