Bid and Ask Prices as Non-Linear Continuous Time G-Expectations Based on Distortions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Probability distortions for constructing nonlinear G-expectations for the bid and ask or lower and upper prices in continuous time are here extended to the direct use of measure distortions. Fairly generally measure distortions can be constructed as probability distortions applied to an exponential distribution function on the half line. The valuation methodologies are extended beyond contract valuation to the valuation of economic activities with infinite lives. Explicit computations illustrate the procedures for stock indices and insurance loss processes.

Transaction Costs in Financial Models
Standard models for nancial markets are based on the simplifying assumption that trading orders can be given and executed in continuous time with no friction. This assumption is clearly a strong idealization of the reality. In particular, securities should not be described by a single price but by a bid and ask curve. As a rst approximation, one may assume that the bid and ask prices do not d...
متن کاملOptimal Spread with Heterogeneous Expectations in Foreign Exchange Market
Our subject is foreign exchange auction through market makers. We consider market maker’s policy to choose bid and ask as an optimization problem. We show that if traders’ expectations are more heterogeneous, the market maker widens bid and ask spread. He can take advantage of the heterogeneous expectations. We derive an equation of expected transaction prices. This equation makes it possible t...
متن کاملAmerican Contingent Claims with Physical Delivery under Small Proportional Transaction Costs
American options exercised by physical delivery of a portfolio of cash and underlying stock are considered in the binary tree model under small proportional transaction costs. Dynamic programming type recursive algorithms are developed for computing the ask and bid prices of such options, extending the Snell envelope construction. Representations of the ask and bid prices of American options wi...
متن کاملDynamic Conic Finance via Backward Stochastic Difference Equations
We present an arbitrage free theoretical framework for modeling bid and ask prices of dividend paying securities in a discrete time setup using theory of dynamic acceptability indices. In the first part of the paper we develop the theory of dynamic subscale invariant performance measures, on a general probability space, and discrete time setup. We prove a representation theorem of such measures...
متن کاملEffective securities in arbitrage-free markets with bidヨask spreads at liquidation: a linear programming characterization
We consider a securities market with bid–ask spreads at any period, including liquidation. Although the minimum-cost super-replication problem is non-linear, we introduce an auxiliary problem that allows us to characterize no-arbitrage via linear programming techniques. We introduce the notion of effective new security and show that effectiveness restricts the no-arbitrage bid and ask prices of...
