We derive a closed-form expansion of option prices in terms of Black-Scholes prices and higher-order Greeks. We show how the true price of an option less its Black-Scholes price is given by a series of premiums on higher-order risks that are not priced under the Black-Scholes model assumptions....

The Multi Variate Mixture Dynamics model is a tractable, dynamical, arbitrage-free multivariate model characterized by transparency on the dependence structure, since closed form formulae for terminal correlations, average correlations and copula function are available. It also allows for...

We develop an arbitrage-free framework for consistent valuation of derivative trades with collateralization, counterparty credit gap risk, and funding costs, following the approach first proposed by Pallavicini and co-authors in 2011. Based on the risk-neutral pricing principle, we derive a...

We construct models for the pricing and risk management of inflation-linked derivatives. The models are rational in the sense that linear payoffs written on the consumer price index have prices that are rational functions of the state variables. The nominal pricing kernel is constructed in a...

We propose a novel non-structural method for hedging European options, relying on two model-independent results: First, under suitable regularity conditions, an option price can be disentangled into a linear combination of risk-neutral moments. Second, there exists an explicit approximate...
