Urban economists understand housing prices with a spatial equilibrium approach that assumes people must be indifferent across locations. Since the spatial no arbitrage condition is inherently imprecise, other economists have turned to different no arbitrage conditions, such as the prediction that individuals must be indifferent between owning and renting. This paper argues the predictions from ...

Double no-touch options, contracts which pay out a fixed amount provided an underlying asset remains within a given interval, are commonly traded, particularly in FX markets. In this work, we establish model-free bounds on the price of these options based on the prices of more liquidly traded options (call and digital call options). Key steps are the construction of superand sub-hedging strateg...

We show that if we allow general admissible integrands as trading strategies the three dimensional Bessel process Bes admits arbitrage possibilities This is in contrast with the fact that the inverse process is a local martingale and hence is arbitrage free This leads to some economic interpretation for the analysis of the property of arbitrage in foreign exchange rates This notion relative to ...

Statistical arbitrage is a profit situation arising from pricing inefficiencies between securities. This is usually identified through mathematical modeling techniques. Hogan, Jarrow, and Warachka describe the dynamics of trading profits as a stochastic process. A test for statistical arbitrage can then be based on identification of the parameters of the process. This project implements such a ...

We consider financial contracts that are tradable in any quantities at fixed prices. A bundle of such contracts constitutes an arbitrage if it offers non-negative payoff in any future state, but commands negative present cost. This article brings together fairly recent results on how to find an arbitrage provided some exists. Otherwise, a state-contingent, non-profit price vector will be identi...

This paper deals with the notion of a large financial market and the concepts of asymptotic arbitrage and strong asymptotic arbitrage (both of the first kind), introduced in [13], [14]. We show that the arbitrage properties of a large market are completely determined by the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of the numéraire portfolios, related to small markets. The obtained criteria can be ex...
