Self-introduction
My fundamental research interests are to apply such financial tools and methods as derivatives, i.e., option, futures and swaps, and portfolio theory to financial decision making including corporate valuation, valuation of the cost of capital, real option and risk analysis. Empirical works with financial data, market data or energy data describe my way of thinking for economic research.
