Quanto Pricing beyond Black–Scholes

The pricing of Quanto options under dynamic correlation

The Quanto option is a cash-settled, cross-currency derivative in which the underlying asset has a payoff in one country, but the payoff is converted to another currency in which the option is settled. Thus, the correlation between the underlying asset and currency exchange rate plays an important role on pricing such options. Market observations give clear evidence that financial quantities ar...

Pricing Online Decisions: Beyond Auctions

We consider dynamic pricing schemes in online settings where selfish agents generate online events. Previous work on online mechanisms has dealt almost entirely with the goal of maximizing social welfare or revenue in an auction settings. This paper deals with quite general settings and minimizing social costs. We show that appropriately computed posted prices allow one to achieve essentially t...

No-arbitrage pricing beyond semimartingales

We show how no-arbitrage pricing can be extended to some non-semimartingale models by restricting the class of admissible strategies. However, this restricted class is big enough to cover hedges for relevant options. Moreover, we show that the hedging prices depend essentially only on a path property of the stock price process, viz. on the quadratic variation. As a consequence, we can incorpora...
