Soner, H. Mete; Cetin, Umut; Touzi, Nizar - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2010

Following the framework of Cetin et al. (finance stoch. 8:311-341, 2004), we study the problem of super-replication in the presence of liquidity costs under additional restrictions on the gamma of the hedging strategies in a generalized black-scholes economy. We find that the minimal...

Grüll, Georg; Taschini, Luca - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2010

Equilibrium models have been proposed in literature with the aim of describing the evolution of the price of emission permits. This paper derives first a reducedform model from an equilibrium model and thereby explains how existing reducedform models are related to equilibrium models. Second, by...

Skewness and kurtosis implied by option prices: a second comment

Jurczenko, Emmanuel; Maillet, Bertrand; Negrea, Bogdan - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2002

Several authors have proposed series expansion methods to price options when the risk-neutral density is asymmetric and leptokurtic. Among these, Corrado and Su (1996) provide an intuitive pricing formula based on a Gram-Charlier Type A series expansion. However, their formula contains a...
