The arbitrage pricing theorem with incomplete preferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proves existence of equilibrium and the arbitrage pricing theorem for an asset exchange economy, where individuals' preferences may be incomplete or intransitive. This extends existing results to more general preferences. We also prove the arbitrage pricing theorem for a theory of choice under uncertainty by Bewley [Bewley, T. F. (2002), Knightian decision theory: part I, Decisions in Economics and Finance 25, 79–110.]. These preferences model Knightian uncertainty by preferences which may be incomplete but satisfy independence. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A note on arbitrage, approximate arbitrage and the fundamental theorem of asset pricing
We provide a critical analysis of the proof of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing given in the paper Arbitrage and approximate arbitrage: the fundamental theorem of asset pricing by B. Wong and C.C. Heyde (Stochastics, 2010) in the context of incomplete Itô-process models. We show that their approach can only work in the known case of a complete nancial market model and give an explicit c...
متن کاملMartingale Pricing Measures in Incomplete Markets via Stochastic Programming Duality in the Dual of L
We propose a new framework for analyzing pricing theory for incomplete markets and contingent claims, using conjugate duality and optimization theory. Various statements in the literature of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing give conditions under which an essentially arbitrage-free market is equivalent to the existence of an equivalent martingale measure, and a formula for the fair price...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing with either Frictionless or Frictional Security Markets
This paper studies asset pricing in arbitrage-free financial markets in general state space (both for frictionless market and for market with transaction cost). The mathematical formulation is based on a locally convex topological space for weakly arbitrage-free securities’ structure and a separable Banach space for strictly arbitragefree securities’ structure. We establish, for these two types...
متن کاملPreferences, Continuity, and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory
This article investigates the structure onpreferences required to derive Ross’s arbitrage pricing theory (APT). It is shown that only ordinalpreferences are required. In particular, the APT does not require that agents possess preferences representable as riskaverse expected utility functions. This characteristic of the APT is not shared by the standard equilibriumbased capital asset pricing mo...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging in Incomplete Markets
We present a new approach for positioning, pricing, and hedging in incomplete markets that bridges standard arbitrage pricing and expected utility maximization. Our approach for determining whether an investor should undertake a particular position involves specifying a set of probability measures and associated °oors which expected payo®s must exceed in order for the investor to consider the h...
