An asymmetric payoff (also called an asymmetric return) is the set of possible results of an investment strategy where the upside potential is greater than the downside risk. Derivative contracts called “options” are the most common instrument with asymmetric payoff characteristics. Hedge funds that employ this kind of investment strategy include Universa Investments, A North Investments, Pershing Square Capital Management, and others. (Wikipedia).

Nathanael Fijalkow: Understanding and extending the quasipolynomial time algorithms for parity games
This talk is about the model of two-player (deterministic) parity games, their extensions mean payoff games, and related game models. The dust has settled since the 2017 breakthrough—a quasipolynomial time algorithm for solving parity games. A lot of work has gone since then into understan

23. Asymmetric information: silence, signaling and suffering education
Game Theory (ECON 159) We look at two settings with asymmetric information; one side of a game knows something that the other side does not. We should always interpret attempts to communicate or signal such information taking into account the incentives of the person doing the signaling.

Credit Spread Options (Put & Call)
A credit spread option is a hedge/bet on the narrowing or widening of a credit spread (credit spread = risky yield - riskless yield). The credit spread put payoff = duration x notional x MAX [Credit Spread - Strike Spread, 0]. The Credit spread call payoff = duration x notional x MAX [Stri

What is a horizontal asymptote
👉 Learn all about asymptotes of a rational function. A rational function is a function, having a variable in the denominator. An asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. There are the vertical, the horizontal and the slant/oblique asymptotes. The ver

12. Evolutionary stability: social convention, aggression, and cycles
Game Theory (ECON 159) We apply the idea of evolutionary stability to consider the evolution of social conventions. Then we consider games that involve aggressive (Hawk) and passive (Dove) strategies, finding that sometimes, evolutionary populations are mixed. We discuss how such games ca
