Convex duality for two two different super--replication problems in a continuous time financial market with proportional transaction cost is proved. In this market, static hedging in a finite number of options, in addition to usual dynamic hedging with the underlying stock, are allowed. The...

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in \c{C}etin, Jarrow and Protter [2004], where the supply function $S^{\epsilon}(s,\nu)$ depends on a parameter $\epsilon\geq 0$ with $S^0(s,\nu)=s$ corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of \c{C}etin,...

A general method to construct recombinant tree approximations for stochastic volatility models is developed and applied to the Heston model for stock price dynamics. In this application, the resulting approximation is a four tuple Markov process. The first two components are related to the stock...

Several recent papers have studied the impact of macroeconomic shocks on the financial policies of firms. However, they only consider the case where these macroeconomic shocks affect the profitability of firms but not the financial markets conditions. We study the polar case where the...

We construct a model for liquidity risk and price impacts in a limit order book setting with depth, resilience and tightness. We derive a wealth equation and a characterization of illiquidity costs. We show that we can separate liquidity costs due to depth and resilience from those related to...

This paper considers the nonlinear theory of G-martingales as introduced by Peng (2007) in [16] and [17]. A martingale representation theorem for this theory is proved by using the techniques and the results established in Soner et al. (2009) [20] for the second-order stochastic target...

Following the framework of Cetin et al. (finance stoch. 8:311-341, 2004), we study the problem of super-replication in the presence of liquidity costs under additional restrictions on the gamma of the hedging strategies in a generalized black-scholes economy. We find that the minimal...

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in Cetin, Jarrow and Protter [3] where the supply function S"(s; ) depends on a parameter " 0 with S0(s; ) = s corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of Cetin, Soner and Touzi [6] of the super-hedging...

We introduce a notion of volatility uncertainty in discrete time and define the corresponding analogue of Peng’s G-expectation. In the continuous-time limit, the resulting sublinear expectation converges weakly to the G-expectation. This can be seen as a Donsker-type result for the G-Brownian...
