AbstractThis paper investigates a financial market where stock returns depend on an unobservable Gaussian mean reverting drift process. Information on the drift is obtained from returns and randomly arriving discrete-time expert opinions. Drift estimates are based on Kalman filter techniques. We study the asymptotic behavior of the filter for high-frequency experts with variances that grow linearly with the arrival intensity. The derived limit theorems state that the information provided by discrete-time expert opinions is asymptotically the same as that from observing a certain diffusion process. These diffusion approximations are extremely helpful for deriving simplified approximate solutions of utility maximization problems.

In this paper, we study limit behavior for a Markov-modulated binomial counting process, also called a binomial counting process under regime switching. Such a process naturally appears in the context of credit risk when multiple obligors are present. Markov-modulation takes place when the failure/default rate of each individual obligor depends on an underlying Markov chain. The limit behavior under consideration occurs when the number of obligors increases unboundedly, and/or by accelerating the modulating Markov process, called rapid switching. We establish diffusion approximations, obtained by application of (semi)martingale central limit theorems. Depending on the specific circumstances, different approximations are found.

Let X(t), , be an Ito diffusion process on the real line. For u > 0 and t > 0, let Lt(u) be the Lebesgue measure of the set . Limit theorems are obtained for (i) the distribution of Lt(u) for u → ∞and fixed t, and (ii) the tail of the distribution of the random variable max[0, t]X(s). The conditions on the process are stated in terms of the drift and diffusion coefficients. These conditions imply the existence of a stationary distribution for the process.
