Option valuation with liquidity risk and jumps
5 ABSTRACT This article provides a simple model for pricing and hedging options in the presence of jumps and liquidity costs. In the article, liquidity risk is modelled via a stochastic supply curve function and a jump-diffusion process is approximated by a Markov chain. Local risk minimization incorporating liquidity risk is proposed to price and hedge European options in this discrete10 time ...
متن کاملRisk Measures: Rationality and Diversification
When there is uncertainty about interest rates (typically due to either illiquidity or defaultability of zero coupon bonds) the cash-additivity assumption on risk measures becomes problematic. When this assumption is weakened, to cash-subadditivity for example, the equivalence between convexity and the diversi cation principle no longer holds. In fact, this principle only implies (and it is imp...
متن کاملDiversification of Risk and Saving*
This paper provides evidence that domestic opportunities to share risk have contributed to lower rates of private saving. Two econometric procedures are used in the analysis: (1) traditional instrumental variables estimation and (2) dynamic panel methods. The results reveal a negative relationship between domestic opportunities to diversify risk and aggregate private saving rates in a cross-sec...
متن کاملAnalytical value-at-risk with jumps and credit risk
This paper provides an analytical method for computing value at risk, and other risk measures, for portfolios that may include options and other derivatives, with defaultable counterparties or borrowers. The risk setting is that of a classical multi-factor jump-di usion for default intensities and asset returns, under which between-jump returns are correlated Brownian motions, with return jumps...
متن کاملFirst-order (conditional) risk aversion, background risk and risk diversification
Expected utility functions are limited to second-order (conditional) risk aversion, while non-expected utility functions can exhibit either first-order or second-order (conditional) risk aversion. We extend the concept of orders of conditional risk aversion to orders of conditional dependent risk aversion. We show that first-order conditional dependent risk aversion is consistent with the frame...
