Equivalent Martingale

In this paper we propose a class of financial market models which are based on telegraph processes with alternating tendencies and jumps. It is assumed that the jumps have random sizes and that they occur when the tendencies are switching. These models are typically incomplete, but the set of equivalent martingale measures can be described in detail. We provide additional suggestions which permit arbitrage-free option prices as well as hedging strategies to be obtained.

Role Of Information

We consider a financial market with a savings account and a stock S that follows a general diffusion. The default of the company, which issues the stock S, is modeled as a stopping time with respect to the filtration generated by the value of the firm that is not observable by regular investors. We assume that the stock price and the value of the firm are correlated. We study three investors with different information levels trading in the market who aim to price a general default-sensitive contingent claim. We use the density approach and Yor's method to solve the pricing problem. Specifically, we find the sets of equivalent martingale measures in three cases and, when needed, we choose one of them using f-divergence approach.

Interesting Approach

Option pricing is one of the most important problems of contemporary quantitative finance. It can be solved in complete markets with non-arbitrage option price being uniquely determined via averaging with respect to a unique risk-neutral measure. In incomplete markets, an adequate option pricing is achieved by determining an interval of non-arbitrage option prices as a region of negotiation between seller and buyer of the option. End points of this interval characterise the minimum and maximum average of discounted pay-off function over the set of equivalent risk-neutral measures. By estimating these end points, one constructs super hedging strategies providing a risk-management in such contracts. The current paper analyses an interesting approach to this pricing problem, which consists of introducing the necessary amount of auxiliary assets such that the market becomes complete with option price uniquely determined. One can estimate the interval of non-arbitrage prices by taking minimal and maximal price values from various numbers calculated with the help of different completions. It is a dual characterisation of option prices in incomplete markets, and it is described here in detail for the multivariate diffusion market model. Besides that, the paper discusses how this method can be exploited in optimal investment and partial hedging problems.

Equivalent Martingale

In this paper, a class of generalized Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (BN–S) models is investigated from the viewpoint of derivative asset analysis. Incompleteness of this type of markets is studied in terms of equivalent martingale measures (EMM). Variance process is studied in details for the case of Inverse-Gaussian distribution. Various structure preserving subclasses of EMMs are derived. The model is then effectively used for pricing European style options and fitting implied volatility smiles.

Equivalent Martingale

We show a class of stock price models with stochastic volatility for which the most natural candidates for martingale measures are only strictly local martingale measures, contrary to what is usually assumed in the finance literature. We also show the existence of equivalent martingale measures, and provide one explicit example.
