About this book

This volume presents classical results of the theory of enlargement of filtration. The focus is on the behavior of martingales with respect to the enlarged filtration and related objects. The study is conducted in various contexts including immersion, progressive enlargement with a random time and initial enlargement with a random variable. 

The aim of this book is to collect the main mathematical results (with proofs) previously spread among numerous papers, great part of which is only available in French. Many examples and applications to finance, in particular to credit risk modelling and the study of asymmetric information, are provided to illustrate the theory. A detailed summary of further connections and applications is given in bibliographic notes which enables to deepen study of the topic. 

This book fills a gap in the literature and serves as a guide for graduate students and researchers interested in the role of information in financial mathematics and in econometric science. A basic knowledge of the general theory of stochastic processes is assumed as a prerequisite.


Reviews

“This book presents a succinct exposition on the theory of filtration enlargements. … The book delivers a systematic and updated account of the subject. There is a long list of papers in the references, including the authors’ own contributions, providing a broad perspective. … it is an excellent guide from which the reader will gain a global view of the field.” (Erick Treviño-Aguilar, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2018)​

“The book is devoted to enlargement of filtration – an important tool and field of study in the theory of stochastic processes. … The book is a useful reading for students and professionals in theory and practice of finance.” (Pavel Stoynov, zbMATH 1397.91003, 2018)
