This study examines the dynamic hedging performances of the Black-Scholes model and Heston model when stock prices drift with stochastic volatilities. Using Monte Carlo simulations, stock prices consistent with Heston's(1993) stochastic volatility option pricing model are generated. In this circumstance, option traders are assumed to use the Black- Scholes model and Heston model to implement dynamic hedging strategies for the options written. The results of simulation indicate that the hedging performance of a mis-specified Black-Scholes model is almost as good as that of a fully specified Heston model. The implication of these results is that the efficacy of the dynamic hedging performances on evaluating the specifications of alternative option models can be limited.

This paper discusses English Hedges or Hedging Expressions on the basis of their morphosyntactic-pragramatic properties within the perspective of sociolinguistics. The term, 'Hedges' for the past decades since Lakoff(1973), has received little attention from the English grammar circles such as morphosyntax and the generative grammar theories. This paper presents a more comprehensive approach to the identification, distributions, functions, and the morphosyntactic properties of English Hedges. The earlier research on English Hedges in the 70's show that hedges are metalinguistic or mitadiscourse expressions which constitute a means for executing Politeness strategy in pragmatics. Nonetheless, research from the interface of syntactic-pragmatics has been scarce. This article suggests a more complex body of English hedges that have not been extensively discussed in the literature. Additionally, their configurational domain is to be proposed as part of the PolP with [±hedged] above CP⁺ (or CP beyond). The ramifications of the current study are suggested in terms of comparative linguistics, EFL/ESL studies of English for global communication, and pragmatics-sensitive machine translation studies in the forseeable future.

평균-분산 기준보다 우수한 기준이라고 할 수 있는 평균-지니 기준은 위험회피 정도를 고려할 수 있는 확장된 평균-지니 기준으로 확장되면서 선물시장에서의 헤지모형에 도입되어 분포특성과는 무관하게 헤지비율의 특성을 분석할 수 있다는 측면에서 관심의 대상이 되었다. 그러나 확장된 평균-지니 기준을 실제로 적용하기 위해서는 확장된 지니평차를 계산가능한 형태로 변환해야 하는 문제와, 수익률의 누적확률 값을 추정해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 누적확률 값을 추정하는 방법으로 수익률의 분포함수와는 관계없이 순위에 의한 방법이 이용되었다. 본 연구에서는 실제로 분포의 확률밀도함수를 이용해서 누적확률을 계산하는 경우와 순위를 이용해 추정하는 방법을 비교함으로써 순위방법의 정확성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 확장된 지니평차를 실제로 계산하는 데 있어서의 문제점도 검토하였다. 이러한 검토를 통해 확장된 평균-지니 기준을 헤지 모형에 도입하여 활용하는 것의 현실적 유용성을 종합적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 분석결과 확장된 지니평차의 계산을 위해 변형한 식에 대한 정밀한 검토가 필요하다는 점과, 확장된 지니평차를 헤지모형에 적용하기 위해서는 누적확률을 정확하게 계산하는 문제의 해결이 선행되어야 한다는 점을 밝힐 수 있었다.

본 연구는 KOSPI 200 선물을 이용하여 옵션복제방식에 의한 포트폴리오 보험전략을 구축하고 KOSPI 200 지수와 KOSPI 200 구성주식의 일부로 이루어지는 개별 포트폴리오들을 대상으로 실증분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 포트폴리오 보험전략의 성과는 헤지의 대상이 되는 현물포트폴리오별, 보험수준별, 재조정 기준별로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. KOSPI 200 지수포트폴리오에 대한 헤지는 대체로 약세시장에서 포트폴리오 가치하락을 감소시키면서 시세상승에 편승할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. KOSPI 200 구성주식의 일부로 이루어진 포트폴리오에 대한 헤지는 수익성이 높고 베타값이 높으면서 시가총액이 큰 제조업이나 전기통신업에 속하는 기업의 주식으로 포트폴리오가 구성되었을 때 대체로 헤지성과가 높았다. 또한 KOSPI 200 지수포트폴리오는 보험수준을 낮게 할수록 헤지성과가 높은 것으로 나타난 반면, KOSPI 200 구성주식의 일부로 이루어진 포트폴리오의 경우에는 보험수준과 헤지성과간의 관계가 일정치가 않았다. 재조정 기준별로는 3% 재조정 기준을 적용하였을 때 헤지성과가 가장 높았으며, 가장 빈번하게 재조정을 해야하는 일별 재조정 기준에 의할 경우는 거래비용이 상대적으로 높았다.

The long memory properties of the hedge ratio for stock and futures have not been systematically investigated by the extant literature. To investigate hedge ratio' long memory, this paper employs a data set including KOSPI200 and S&P500. Coakley, Dollery, and Kellard(2008) employ a data set including a stock index and commodities foreign exchange, and suggested the S&P500 to be a fractionally integrated process. This paper firstly estimates hedge ratios with two dynamic models, BEKK(Bollerslev, Engle, Kroner, and Kraft) and diagonal-BEKK, and tests the long memory of hedge ratios with Geweke and Porter-Hudak(1983)(henceforth GPH) and Lo's modified rescaled adjusted range test by Lo(1991). In empirical results, two hedge ratios based on KOSPI200 and S&P500 show considerably significant long memory behaviours. Thus, such results show the hedge ratios to be stationary and strongly reject the random walk hypothesis on hedge ratios, which violates the efficient market hypothesis.

For the effects of the global financial crisis cause hedge funds to have a strong influence on financial markets, it is needed to study new approach method to predict hedge fund survival. This paper proposes to organize fuzzy neural network using hedge fund data as input to predict hedge fund survival. The variables of hedge fund data are ambiguous to analyze and have internal uncertainty and these characteristics make it challenging to predict their survival from the past records. The object of this study is to evaluate the predictability of fuzzy neural network which uses grades of membership to predict survival. The results of this study show that proposed system is effective to predict the hedge funds survival and can be a desirable solution which helps investors to support decision-making.

Option issuers generally utilize Dynamic Delta Hedging(DDH) technique to avoid the risk resulting from continuously changing option value. DDH duplicates payoff of option position by adjusting hedge position according to the delta value from Black-Scholes(BS) model in order to maintain risk neutral state. DDH, however, is not able to guarantee optimal hedging performance because of the weaknesses caused by impractical assumptions inherent in BS model. Therefore, this study presents a methodology for dynamic option hedge using artificial neural network(ANN) to enhance hedging performance and show the superiority of the proposed method using various computational experiments.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate whether longevity risk is properly managed in Korean life insurance industry by measuring longevity risk in the viewpoint of natural hedge. According to analysis, the sum of the reserve of annuity and that of whole life insurance appears to decrease in the case both reserve of annuity and whole life insurance are shocked by same degree and also the mortality rate of the aged policyholders is improved faster than that of the less aged policyholders. Although the sum of the reserves increases only when the mortality improvement of annuity policyholders is higher than that of whole life insurance policyholders by two times, more than 60% of reserve increase of annuity is found to be offset by natural hedge. Thus, it is judged that the longevity risk of Korea life insurance industry is properly managed by natural hedge.

Radiotherapy is commonly used in treating many kinds of cancers which cannot be cured by other therapeutic strategies. However, radiotherapy also induces the damages on the normal tissues. Radiation-induced fibrosis is frequently observed in the patients undergoing radiotherapy, and becomes a major obstacle in the treatment of intrahepatic cancer. Hedgehog (Hh) that is an essential in the liver formation during embryogenesis is not detected in the healthy liver, but activated and modulates the repair process in damaged livers in adult. The expression of Hh increases with the degree of liver damage, regulating the proliferation of hepatic progenitors and hepatic stellate cells (HSC). In addition, Hh induces epithelial-to-mesencymal transition (EMT) and activation of myofibroblasts. In the irradiated livers, up-regulated expression of Hh signaling was associated with proliferation of progenitors, EMT induction, and increased fibrosis. Female-specific expression of Hh leaded to the expansion of progenitors and the accumulation of collagen in the irradiated livers of female mice, indicating that gender disparity in Hh expression may be related with radiation-susceptibility in female. Hence, Hh signaling becomes a novel object of studies for fibrogenesis induced by radiation. However, the absence of the established experimental animal models showing the similar physiopathology with human liver diseases and fibrosis-favorable microenvironment hamper the studies for the radiation-induced fibrosis, providing a few descriptive results. Therefore, further research on the association of Hh with radiation-induced fibrosis can identify the cell and tissue-specific effects of Hh and provides the basic knowledge for underlying mechanisms, contributing to developing therapies for preventing the radiation-induced fibrosis.
