This paper proposes a new scheme for the static replication of European options and their portfolios. First, we derive a general approximation formula for efficient static replication as an extension of Carr and Chou [1997, 2002] and Carr and Wu [2002]. Second, we present a concrete procedure...

This paper proposes a new scheme for static hedging of European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models. First, we show that pricing European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models is transformed to pricing those under one-factor local volatility...

This study proposes a new scheme for static hedging of European path‐independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models. First, we show that pricing European path‐independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models is transformed to pricing those under one‐factor local...

This study proposes a new scheme for the static replication of European options and their portfolios. First, a general approximation formula for efficient static replication as an extension of Carr P. and Chou A. (1997, 2002) and Carr P. and Wu L. (2002) is derived. Second, a concrete procedure...

There are various factors associated with success or failure of R&D projects, such as maturity of the technology, circumstances surrounding R&D systems within companies and environments for commercialization of R&D projects. For R&D projects supported by public funds in particular, it has been...

This paper presents an approximate formula for pricing average options when the underlying asset price is driven by time-changed Lévy processes. Time-changed Lévy processes are attractive to use for a driving factor of underlying prices because the processes provide a flexible framework for...

The purpose of this paper is to address a question concerning risk management in continuing, multi-party, contractual, clearing and settlement arrangements through which large-value payments are typically made. We are particularly interested in the issues of incentive compatibility when athird...
