Option Pricing in the Large Risk Aversion, Small Transaction Cost Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We characterize the price of a European option on several assets for a very risk-averse seller, in a market with small transaction costs as a solution of a nonlinear diffusion equation. This problem turns out to be one of asymptotic analysis of parabolic PDE, and the interesting feature is the role of a nonlinear PDE eigenvalue problem. In particular, we generalize previous work of Guy Barles and H. Mete Soner who studied this problem for a European option on a single asset.

Option Pricing via Utility Maximization in the Presence of Transaction Costs : an Asymptotic Analysis
We consider a multivariate nancial market with proportional transaction costs as in Kabanov (1999). We study the problem of contingent claim pricing via utility max-imization as in Hodges and Neuberger (1989). Using an exponential utility function, we derive a closed form characterization for the asymptotic price as the risk aversion tends to innnity. We prove that it is reduced to the super-re...
متن کاملConsumption-Based Asset Pricing with Recursive Utility
In this paper it has been attempted to investigate the capability of the consumption-based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM), using the general method of moment (GMM), with regard to the Epstien-zin recursive preferences model for Iran's capital market. Generally speaking, recursive utility permits disentangling of the two psychologically separate concepts of risk aversion and elasticity of i...
متن کاملOption Pricing in the Presence of Operational Risk
In this paper we distinguish between operational risks depending on whether the operational risk naturally arises in the context of model risk. As the pricing model exposes itself to operational errors whenever it updates and improves its investment model and other related parameters. In this case, it is no longer optimal to implement the best model. Generally, an option is exercised in a jump-...
متن کاملA Prospect Approach to Option Pricing
It’s a well known empirical fact that actual option prices show persistent and systematic deviations from Black-Scholes option values. While a substantial number of enhancements have been proposed in the literature, these approaches typically leave investor’s preferences towards risk unmodified. Recently, empirical studies using option prices find support for non-concave utility functions propo...
متن کاملValuation of Employee Reload Options Using Utility Maximization Approach
The reload provision in an employee stock option is an option enhancement that allows the employee to pay the strike upon exercising the stock option using his owned stocks and to receive new “reload” stock options. The usual Black-Scholes risk neutral valuation approach may not be appropriate to be adopted as the pricing vehicle for employee stock options, due to the non-transferability of the...
