Hedging contingent claims on semimartingales
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends the known results on the equivalence between market completeness and the uniqueness of martingale measures for finite asset economies, to the infinite asset case. Our arguments employ results from the theory of linear operators between locally convex topological vector spaces. This theory of linear operators provides an operational approach to the issue of completeness and uniqueness, that is also more closely connected with the mainstream of empirical asset pricing, than was hitherto available.

Backward Stochastic Differential Equation on Hedging American Contingent Claims
We consider a general wealth process with a drift coefficient which is a function of the wealth process and the portfolio process with convex constraint. Existence and uniqueness of a minimal solution are established. We convert the problem of hedging American contingent claims into the problem of minimal solution of backward stochastic differential equation, and obtain the upper hedging price ...
متن کاملHedging Options under Transaction Costs and Stochastic Volatility
In this paper we consider the problem of hedging contingent claims on a stock under transaction costs and stochastic volatility. Extensive research has clearly demonstrated that the volatility of most stocks is not constant over time. As small changes of the volatility can have a major impact on the value of contingent claims, hedging strategies should try to eliminate this volatility risk. We ...
متن کاملHedging Demands in Hedging Contingent Claims
Minimum-variance hedging of a contingent claim in discrete time is suboptimal when the contingent claim is hedged for multiple periods and the objective is to maximize the expected utility of cumulative hedging errors. This is because the hedging errors are not independent. The difference between a minimum-variance hedge and the optimal multiperiod hedge is called the hedging demand and depends...
متن کاملHedging of Contingent Claims in Incomplete Markets
This report surveys important results in the literature on the problem of hedging contingent claims in incomplete markets. Consider a probability space (Ω,F , P ) and let X be a stochastic process describing the fluctuation of the stock price. Given a contingent claim H, the problem is to find an “optimal” admissible trading strategy, which is a dynamic porfolio of stock and bond (with fixed pr...
متن کاملOptional decomposition of supermartingales and hedging contingent claims in incomplete security markets
t Vt = Vo + f H, dX~ Ct, t > O , o where H is an integrand for X, and C is an adapted increasing process. We call such a representation optional because, in contrast to the Doob-Meye r decomposition, it generally exists only with an adapted (optional) process C. We apply this decomposition to the problem of hedging European and American style contingent claims in the setting of incomplete secur...
