Stefan Jaschke:
A Note on the Present Value Principle in Markets with Transaction Costs, July 1996.

We prove a general result relating the minimal pricing error one incurs in pricing all bonds with one term structure to the maximal arbitrage profit one can achieve with portfolios of a certain size. This can be interpreted as a generalization of the ``fundamental theorem of finance'' to markets with transaction costs.

Stefan Jaschke:
A Note on Stochastic Volatility, GARCH models, and Hyperbolic Distributions, December 1994.

We establish a relation between stochastic volatility models and the class of generalized hyperbolic distributions. These distributions have been found to fit exceptionally well to the empirical distribution of stock returns. We review the background of hyperbolic distributions and prove stationary distributions of certain GARCH-type models to be generalized hyperbolic.

Exploratory Data Analysis of Short-Term Interest Rates, May 1994.

Starting from the model of Chan, Karolyi, Longstaff and Sanders (1992) we explore short-term interest rates. Descriptive/non-parametric results for US and German short-term interest rates are presented, showing that some of the assumptions implicit in diffusion models are not appropriate.
