Solves the problem of Restricted Least Squares by developing a new estimator that collapses RLS in cases where the restrictions are observation invariant.

Drawing on advanced probability theory, Ambit Stochastics is used to model stochastic processes which depend on both time and space. This monograph, the first on the subject, provides a reference for this burgeoning field, complete with the applications that have driven its development. Unique to Ambit Stochastics are ambit sets, which allow the delimitation of space-time to a zone of interest, and ambit fields, which are particularly well-adapted to modelling stochastic volatility or intermittency. These attributes lend themselves notably to applications in the statistical theory of turbulence and financial econometrics. In addition to the theory and applications of Ambit Stochastics, the book also contains new theory on the simulation of ambit fields and a comprehensive stochastic integration theory for Volterra processes in a non-semimartingale context. Written by pioneers in the subject, this book will appeal to researchers and graduate students interested in empirical stochastic modelling.

This book contains articles on stochastic processes (stochastic calculus and Malliavin calculus, functionals of Brownian motions and Levy processes, stochastic control and optimization problems, stochastic numerics, and so on) and their applications to problems in mathematical finance. Examples of topics are applications of Malliavin calculus and numerical analysis to a new simulation scheme for calculating the price of financial derivatives, applications of the asymptotic expansion method in Malliavin calculus to financial problems, semimartingale decompositions under an enlargement of filtrations in connection with insider problems, and the problem of transaction costs in connection with stochastic control and optimization problems.
