Strict local martingale deflators and valuing American call-type options

چکیده
We develop a new theory for pricing call type American options in complete markets which do not necessarily admit an equivalent local martingale measure. This resolve an open question proposed by Fernholz and Karatzas [Stochastic Portfolio Theory: A Survey, Handbook of Numerical Analysis, 15:89168, 2009].

Strict Local Martingale Deflators and Pricing American Call-type Options
We solve the problem of pricing and optimal exercise of American call-type options in markets which do not necessarily admit an equivalent local martingale measure. This resolves an open question proposed by Fernholz and Karatzas [Stochastic Portfolio Theory: A Survey, Handbook of Numerical Analysis, 15:89168, 2009].
متن کاملOn the hedging of options on exploding exchange rates
We study a novel pricing operator for complete, local martingale models. The new pricing operator guarantees put-call parity to hold and the value of a forward contract to match the buy-and-hold strategy, even if the underlying follows strict local martingale dynamics. More precisely, we discuss a change of numéraire (change of currency) technique when the underlying is only a local martingale ...
متن کاملStrict Local Martingales, Bubbles, and No Early Exercise
We show pathological behavior of asset price processes modeled by continuous strict local martingales under a risk-neutral measure. The inspiration comes from recent results on financial bubbles. We analyze, in particular, the effect of the strict nature of the local martingale on the usual formula for the price of a European call option, especially a strong anomaly when call prices decay monot...

متن کاملUnderstanding the Implied Volatility Surface for Options on a Diversified Index
This paper describes a two-factor model for a diversified index that attempts to explain both the leverage effect and the implied volatility skews that are characteristic of index options. Our formulation is based on an analysis of the growth optimal portfolio and a corresponding random market activity time where the discounted growth optimal portfolio is expressed as a time transformed squared...
