The Disagreement Dividend
We study how disagreement influences team performance in a dynamic game with positive production externalities. Players can hold different views about the productivity of the available production technologies. This disagreement results in different technology and effort choices -- "optimistic" views induce higher effort than "skeptical" views. Views are changed when falsified by evidence. With a single technology available, optimists exert more effort early on if the team also includes skeptics. With sufficiently strong externalities, a disagreeing team produces, on average, more than any like-minded team. With multiple technologies, disagreement over which technology works best motivates everyone to exert more effort.

Linear Stochastic Dividend Model
In this paper we propose a new model for pricing stock and dividend derivatives. We jointly specify dynamics for the stock price and the dividend rate such that the stock price is positive and the dividend rate non-negat…
modelA Term Structure Model for Dividends and Interest Rates
Over the last decade, dividends have become a standalone asset class instead of a mere side product of an equity investment. We introduce a framework based on polynomial jump-diffusions to jointly price the term structur…
Optimal ratcheting of dividend payout under Brownian motion surplus
This paper is concerned with a long standing optimal dividend payout problem subject to the so-called ratcheting constraint, that is, the dividend payout rate shall be non-decreasing over time and is thus self-path-depen…
Optimal Dividend Distribution Under Drawdown and Ratcheting Constraints on Dividend Rates
We consider the optimal dividend problem under a habit formation constraint that prevents the dividend rate to fall below a certain proportion of its historical maximum, the so-called drawdown constraint. This is an exte…
The Pricing of Vanilla Options with Cash Dividends as a Classic Vanilla Basket Option Problem
In the standard Black-Scholes-Merton framework, dividends are represented as a continuous dividend yield and the pricing of Vanilla options on a stock is achieved through the well-known Black-Scholes formula. In reality …
