In this paper, we present a discrete time regime switching binomial-like model of the term structure where the regime switches are governed by a discrete time semi-Markov process. We model the evolution of the prices of zero-coupon when given an initial term structure as in the model by Ho and...

In a frictionless and competitive economy, where high frequency (HF) traders possess no market power, this paper characterizes necessary and sufficient conditions on the price process and information sets for HF traders to earn abnormal trading profits. Two sufficient conditions shown to...

This paper shows that high frequency trading may play a dysfunctional role in financial markets. Contrary to arbitrageurs who make financial markets more efficient by taking advantage of and thereby eliminating mispricings, high frequency traders can create a mispricing that they unknowingly...

We show that in a discrete-time large financial market the absence of certain asymptotic arbitrage opportunities is equivalent to the existence of martingale measures in a strong sense. We also consider the Arbitrage Pricing Model with stable random variables where we are able to give explicit...

We outline a martingale duality method for determining the minimal entropy martingale measure in a general continuous semimartingale model, and provide the relevant verification results. This method is illustrated by a detailed case study of the Stein and Stein stochastic volatility model driven...

The importance of market efficiency to derivative pricing is not well understood. The purpose of this paper is to explain this connection using the third fundamental theorem of asset pricing. The third fundamental theorem of asset pricing characterizes the conditions under which an equivalent...
