In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the need to consider more realistic risk models for derivative products has received renewed attention. We introduce a dynamic model for the pricing of European-style options with various attractive features such as a mixture of heavy-tails and...

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 consider a consumption-investment optimization problem for the Kabanov model when the proportional transaction costs rate is constant and the prices are modeled by a Lévy process. We naturally extend the preliminary work of [4] to portfolio processes that are only supposed to be làdlàg....

For several decades, the no-arbitrage (NA) condition and the martingale measures have played a major role in the financial asset's pricing theory. Here, we propose a new approach based on convex duality instead of martingale measures duality: our prices will be expressed using Fenchel conjugate...

In 1985 Leland suggested an approach to price contingent claims under proportional transaction costs. Its main idea is to use the classical Black–Scholes formula with a suitably enlarged volatility for a periodically revised portfolio whose terminal value approximates the pay-off of the call...

We consider a continuous-time model of financial market with proportional transaction costs. Our result is a dual description of the set of initial endowments of self-financing portfolios super replicating American - type contingent claim. The latter is a right-continuous adapted vector process...
