Arbitrage-Free Limit Order Markets and the Pricing of Order Flow Risk*
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper builds on the landmark contribution of Glosten (1994) by treating the determination of limit order supply schedules as an exercise in asset pricing theory with the possible sizes of incoming market orders as the value-relevant states of nature, yielding an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing. State prices and price impact prove to be proportional to the slope of the book and simple nonparametric and semiparametric models for limit order book dynamics arise when the price of order flow risk is constant over time, providing a comprehensive and coherent framework for organizing limit order book data.

An Actuarial Layman's Guide to Building Stochastic Interest Rate Generators
A stochastic interest rate generator is a valuable actuarial tool. The parameters that specify a stochastic model of interest rates can be adjusted to make the model arbitrage-free, or they can be adjusted to accommodate an individual investor's subjective views. The arbitrage-free settings of the parameters must be used when pricing streams of interest-rate-contingent cash flows, for example, ...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Theorem of Arbitrage Pricing
The Black-Scholes theory, which is the main subject of this course and its sequel, is based on the Efficient Market Hypothesis, that arbitrages (the term will be defined shortly) do not exist in efficient markets. Although this is never completely true in practice, it is a useful basis for pricing theory, and we shall limit our attention (at least for now) to efficient (that is, arbitrage-free)...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing with either Frictionless or Frictional Security Markets
This paper studies asset pricing in arbitrage-free financial markets in general state space (both for frictionless market and for market with transaction cost). The mathematical formulation is based on a locally convex topological space for weakly arbitrage-free securities’ structure and a separable Banach space for strictly arbitragefree securities’ structure. We establish, for these two types...
متن کاملA Unifying Approach to Pricing Insurance and Financial Risk
The actuarial and the financial approach to the pricing of risk remain different despite the increasingly direct interconnection of financial and insurance markets. The difference can be summarized as pricing based on classical risk theory (insurance) vs. non-arbitrage pricing (finance). However, comparable pricing principles are of importance when it comes to transferring insurance risk to fin...
متن کاملA note on transaction costs and the existence of derivatives markets
This note connects the idea of arbitrage pricing under transaction costs to the existence and structure of derivatives markets. It illustrates the “paradox” of pure arbitrage pricing via replicating portfolios and the existence of markets for redundant securities in a general multi-period model as in Duffie (1996). A general result under homogeneous transaction costs regarding the choice betwee...
