Published / Preprint: Characterization of Market Models in the Presence of Traded Vanilla and Barrier Options. (arXiv:1411.4193v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 05:39 PM PST

We characterize the set of market models when there are a finite number of traded Vanilla and Barrier options with maturity $T$ written on the asset $S$. From a probabilistic perspective, our result describes the set of joint distributions for $(S_T, \sup_{u \leq T} S_u)$ when a finite number of marginal law constraints on both $S_T$ and $\sup_{u \leq T} S_u$ is imposed....

Published / Preprint: Solving finite time horizon Dynkin games by optimal switching. (arXiv:1411.4438v1 [math.OC])

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 05:39 PM PST

This paper studies the connection between Dynkin games and optimal switching in continuous time and on a finite horizon. An auxiliary two-mode optimal switching problem is formulated which enables the derivation of the game's value under very mild assumptions. Under slightly stronger assumptions, the optimal switching formulation is used to prove the existence of a saddle point and a connection...

Published / Preprint: On the Coherent Risk Measure Representations in the Discrete Probability Spaces. (arXiv:1411.4441v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 05:39 PM PST

We give a complete characterization of both comonotone and not comonotone coherent risk measures in the discrete finite probability space, where each outcome is equally likely. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that characterizes \textit{and} distinguishes comonotone and not comonotone coherent risk measures via a \textit{simplified} AVaR representation in...

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 05:39 PM PST

Risk premium is one of main concepts in mathematical finance. It is a measure of the trade-offs investors make between return and risk and is defined by the excess return over the risk-free interest rate earned per one unit of risk of an asset. The purpose of this article is to find the upper and lower bounds of the risk premium of an asset based on the prices of options in the market. One of key...
