In this paper we study a conditional version of the Wang transform in the context of discrete GARCH models and their diffusion limits. Our first contribution shows that the conditional Wang transform and Duan's generalized local risk-neutral valuation relationship based on equilibrium...

In this article, we investigate the pricing and convergence of general non-affine non-Gaussian GARCH-based variance swap prices. Explicit solutions for fair strike prices under two different sampling schemes are derived using the extended Girsanov principle as our pricing kernel candidate....

This paper investigates the weak convergence of general non-Gaussian GARCH models together with an application to the pricing of European style options determined using an extended Girsanov principle and a conditional Esscher transform as the pricing kernel candidates. Applying these changes of...

We propose different schemes for option hedging when asset returns are modeled using a general class of GARCH models. More specifically, we implement local risk minimization and a minimum variance hedge approximation based on an extended Girsanov principle that generalizes Duan's (1995) delta...

Asymptotic results are obtained for several conditional measures of association. The chosen random variables are the first two order statistics and the total sum within a random sum. Many of the results have confirmed the “one-jump” property of the risk model. Non-trivial limits are obtained...
