No Arbitrage : On the Work of David Kreps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the seminal papers by Black, Scholes and Merton on the pricing of options (Nobel Prize for Economics, 1997), the theory of No Arbitrage plays a central role in Mathematical Finance. Pioneering work on the relation between no arbitrage arguments and martingale theory has been done in the late seventies by M. Harrison, D. Kreps and S. Pliska. In the present note we give a brief survey on the relation of the theory of NoArbitrage to coherent pricing of derivative securities. We focus on a seminal paper published by D. Kreps in 1981, and give a solution to an open problem posed in this paper.

No-Arbitrage Valuation of Contingent Claims in Discrete Time
Following Harrison and Kreps (1979) and Harrison and Pliska (1981), the valuation of contingent claims in continuous-time and discrete-time finite state space settings is generally based on the no-arbitrage principle, and the use of an equivalent martingale measure. In contrast, for some of the most popular discrete time processes used in finance, such as GARCH processes, the existing literatur...
متن کاملFinance without Probabilistic Prior Assumptions
We develop the fundamental theorem of asset pricing in a probability– free infinite–dimensional setup. We replace the usual assumption of a prior probability by a certain continuity property in the state variable. Probabilities enter then endogenously as full support martingale measures (instead of equivalent martingale measures). A variant of the Harrison–Kreps–Theorem on viability and no arbi...
متن کاملMartingale Measures for Discrete Time Processes with Infinite Horizon
Let (St)t2I be an IR {valued adapted stochastic process on ( ;F ; (Ft)t2I ; P ). A basic problem, occuring notably in the analysis of securities markets, is to decide whether there is a probability measure Q on F equivalent to P such that (St)t2I is a martingale with respect to Q. It is known since the fundamental papers of Harrison{Kreps (79), Harrison{Pliska(81) and Kreps(81) that there is an...
متن کاملTesting Efficiency of an Arbitrage in Foreign Exchange Market (Forex): Simultaneous Ordering of Three Major Currency Pairs
In searching a market-neutral arbitrage strategy in forex market, we took a portfolio of three major currency pairs, EUR-USD, USD-JPY, and EUR-JPY. There are eight approaches, different cases of short and long positions; for example buying 1st and selling two others, etc. Historical daily FX rates were gathered since January 1990 until February 2011. Monthly covariances between daily growth rat...
متن کاملA New Approach to International Arbitrage Pricing
This paper uses a nonlinear arbitrage pricing model, a conditional linear model, and an unconditional linear model to price international equities, bonds, and forward currency contracts. Unlike linear models, the nonlinear arbitrage pricing model requires no restrictions on the payoff space, allowing it to price payoffs of options, forward contracts and other derivative securities. Only the non...
