We give characterizations of asymptotic arbitrage of the first and second kind and of strong asymptotic arbitrage for large financial markets with small proportional transaction costs $\la_n$ on market $n$ in terms of contiguity properties of sequences of equivalent probability measures induced...

We give characterizations of asymptotic arbitrage of the first and second kind and of strong asymptotic arbitrage for a sequence of financial markets with small proportional transaction costs in terms of contiguity properties of sequences of equivalent probability measures induced by consistent...

In the modern version of Arbitrage Pricing Theory suggested by Kabanov and Kramkov the fundamental fi nancially meaningful concept is an asymptotic arbitrage. The 'real world' large market is represented by a sequence of 'models' and, though each of them is arbitrage free, investors may obtain...

This thesis deals with different problems related to markets with transaction costs and is composed of four parts.In part I, we begin with the study of assymptotic hedging a European option in a local volatility model with bid-ask spread.In part II, we study the optimal consumption problem in a...

We propose a continuous time model for financial markets with proportional transactions costs and a continuum of risky assets. This is motivated by bond markets in which the continuum of assets corresponds to the continuum of possible maturities. Our framework is well adapted to the study of...

We consider a fractional version of the Heston model where the two standard Brownian motions are replaced by two fractional Brownian motions with Hurst parameter H ∈ (1/2, 1). We show that the stochastic differential equation admits a unique positive solution by adapting and generalizing some...

We study the criteria of robust absence of arbitrage opportunity (RNA2) of the second kind as initially introduced by Rasony M. in the case of a continuous-time and infinite dimensional financial market model with proportional transaction costs allowing for bond market modeling. Robust no...

The seminal Modigliani-Miller (1958) theorem is a cornerstone of corporate finance theory. It provides conditions under which changes in a firm's capital structure do not affect its fundamental value. A recent controversial debate around the relevancy of the Modigliani-Miller theorem regarding...

We present a general financial market model defined by a liquidation value process. This approach generalizes the conic models of Schachermayer and Kabanov where the transaction costs are proportional to the exchanged volumes of traded assets. This allows to consider financial market models...

The capital structure of banks has become the focus of an extended debate among policymakers, regulators and academics. The seminal Modigliani-Miller (1958) theorem is seen as supportive of regulators' drive to require higher equity capital to banks. This raises the question on to what extent...
