On Computation of Arbitrage for Markets with Friction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are interested in computation of locating arbitrage in financial markets with frictions. We consider a model with a finite number of financial assets and a finite number of possible states of nature. We derive a negative result on computational complexity of arbitrage in the case when securities are traded in integer numbers of shares and with a maximum amount of shares that can be bought for a fixed price (as in reality). When these conditions are relaxed, we show that polynomial time algorithms can be obtained by applying linear programming techniques. We also establish the equivalence for no-arbitrage condition & optimal consumption portfolio.

No-Arbitrage Pricing for Dividend-Paying Securities in Discrete-Time Markets with Transaction Costs
We prove a version of First Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing under transaction costs for discrete-time markets with dividend-paying securities. Specifically, we show that the no-arbitrage condition under the efficient friction assumption is equivalent to the existence of a risk-neutral measure. We derive dual representations for the superhedging ask and subhedging bid price processes of a c...
متن کاملNo-arbitrage of second kind in countable markets with proportional transaction costs
Motivated by applications to bond markets, we propose a multivariate framework for discrete time financial markets with proportional transaction costs and a countable infinite number of tradable assets. We show that the no-arbitrage of second kind property (NA2 in short), introduced by [17] for finite dimensional markets, allows to provide a closure property for the set of attainable claims in ...
متن کاملNo-arbitrage criteria for financial markets with transaction costs and incomplete information
This note deals with criteria of absence of arbitrage opportunities for an investor acting in a market with friction and having a limited access to the information flow. We develop a mathematical scheme covering major models of financial markets with transaction costs and prove several results including a criterion for the robust no-arbitrage property and a hedging theorem.
متن کاملNo-arbitrage in Discrete-time Markets with Proportional Transaction Costs and General Information structure
We discuss the no-arbitrage conditions in a general framework for discretetime models of financial markets with proportional transaction costs and general information structure. We extend the results of Kabanov and al. (2002), Kabanov and al. (2003) and Schachermayer (2004) to the case where bid-ask spreads are not known with certainty. In the “no-friction” case, we retrieve the result of Kaban...
متن کاملComputation of arbitrage in frictional bond markets
In this paper we study the computational problem of arbitrage in a frictional market with a finite number of bonds and finite and discrete times to maturity. Types of frictions under consideration include fixed and proportional transaction costs, bid–ask spreads, taxes, and upper bounds on the number of units for transaction. We develop a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of ...
