Understanding Probability Laws Let a random experiment have sample space S. Any assignment of probabilities to events must satisfy three basic laws of probability, called Kolmogorov’s Axioms: 1) For any event A, P(A) ≥ 0. 2) P(S) = 1. 3) If A and B are two mutually exclusive events (i.e., they cannot happen simultaneously), then P(A ( B) = P(A) + P(B). There are other laws in addition to these three, but Kolmogorov’s Axioms are the foundation for probability theory. To achieve

This intrinsic random phenomena can have important implications on nuclear safety (when a reactor start, there is, then, for example, a certain probability that the reactor may go beyond prompt critical before any neutron signal is detected (Bell & Glasstone, Nuclear Reactor Theory, ed Van Nostrand

common knowledge, he has to believe that he is in each of the nodes with the same probability: 1/2. (Out,R) is not a credible equilibrium. Let us substitute now Nature by player 3. Example 2: (b,out,R) is Nash, is subgame perfect. 3 a 1 1 1 b 1 out out 1 1 1 in in 2 L 2 0 1 R 0 1 0 L 2 2 1 R 0 0 0 R is optimal if 2 believes that he is at the LHS node with probability larger than 2/3. Is there any problem with 2’s beliefs? If that equilibrium is

questions regarding the survival of technology firms and its determinants need to be answered, namely, do these surviving firms have a specific Know-how and developed intangibles? Does their innovative profile have a specific impact on survival probability? What type of observable characteristics at the time of the IPO can one take into account to predict the status of surviving firms in the aftermarket? To my knowledge, only Wilbon (2002) explores these questions by studying the impact of some intellectual

valuation of a plain vanilla credit default swap with a $1 notional principal (L= $1). We also assume that the claim in the event of default is the face value plus accrued interest. Let’s define T: Life of credit default swap q(t): Risk-neutral default probability density at time t : Expected recovery rate on the reference obligation in a risk-neutral. This is assumed to be independent of the time of the default. u(t): Present value of payments at the rate of $1 per year on payment dates between time zero

equation (1a) derived above and shows that the value of both investor choices (i) and (ii) are equal. The calculation of the Risky PV01 requires a model because we need to take into account the riskiness of each premium payment by calculating the probability of the reference entity surviving to each premium payment date. These survival probabilities used in the valuation of the Risky PV01 must be the arbitrage-free survival probabilities. These are the survival probabilities that are implied by the
