Convexity bounds for BSDE solutions, with applications to indifference valuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a particular quadratic generator and study the behaviour of their solutions when the probability measure is changed, the filtration is shrunk, or the underlying probability space is transformed. Our main results are upper bounds for the solutions of the original BSDEs in terms of solutions to other BSDEs which are easier to solve. We illustrate our results by applying them to exponential utility indifference valuation in a multidimensional Itô process setting.

Bounded Solutions to Backward Sde’s with Jumps for Utility Optimization and Indifference Hedging
We prove results on bounded solutions to backward stochastic equations driven by random measures. Those bounded BSDE solutions are then applied to solve different stochastic optimization problems with exponential utility in models where the underlying filtration is noncontinuous. This includes results on portfolio optimization under an additional liability and on dynamic utility indifference va...
متن کاملValuation of power plants by utility indifference and numerical computation
This paper presents a real option valuation model of a power plant, which accounts for physical constraints and market incompleteness. Switching costs, minimum on-off times, ramp rates, or non-constant heat rates are important characteristics that can lead, if neglected, to overestimated values. The existence of non-hedgeable uncertainties is also a feature of energy markets that can impact ass...
متن کاملBounds & Asymptotic Approximations for Utility Prices When Volatility Is Random
This paper is a contribution to the valuation of derivative securities in a stochastic volatility framework, which is a central problem in financial mathematics. The derivatives to be priced are of European type with the payoff depending on both the stock and the volatility. The valuation approach uses utility-based criteria under the assumption of exponential risk preferences. This methodology...
متن کاملRisk-based Indifference Pricing under a Stochastic Volatility Model
This paper considers a risk-based approach for indifference valuation of contingent claims in the context of a continuous-time stochastic volatility model. Since the market in the model is incomplete there is more than one arbitrage-free price of an option. We adopt a risk-based approach to select a seller’s and a buyer’s indifference price for the option contract. A convex risk measure is used...
متن کاملExponential utility indifference valuation in two Brownian settings with stochastic correlation
We study the exponential utility indifference valuation of a contingent claim B in an incomplete market driven by two Brownian motions. The claim depends on a nontradable asset stochastically correlated with the traded asset available for hedging. We use martingale arguments to provide upper and lower bounds, in terms of bounds on the correlation, for the value V B of the exponential utility ma...
