This book was released on 2008 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assumes that the underlying asset prices are lognormally distributed and drives necessary and sufficient conditions for the valuation of options using a Black-Scholes type methodology. It is shown that the price of a futures-style, market-to-market option is given by Black s formula if the pricing kernel is lognormally distributed. Assuming that this condition is fulfilled, it is then shown that the Black-Scholes formula prices a spot-settled contingent claim, if the interest-rate accumulation factor is lognormally distributed. Otherwise, the Black-Scholes formula holds if the product of the pricing kernel and the interest-rate accumulation factor is lognormally distributed.

Book excerpt: The problem of fair pricing of contingent claims is well understood in the contex of an arbitrage free, complete financial market, with perfect information: the so-called arbitrage approach permits to construct a unique valuation operator compatible with observed price processes. In the more realistic context of partial information, the equilibrium analysis permits to construct a unique valuation operator which only depends on some particular price processes as well as on the dividends process. In this paper we present these two approaches and we explore their links and the conditions under which they are compatible ; In particular, we derive from the equilibrium conditions some links between the price processes paramaters and those of the dividend processes paramaters.

Book excerpt: Arbitrage pricing plays an important role in asset valuation. The most applications of arbitrage asset pricing theories are based on the law of one price or asymptotic arbitrage free markets. We provide some new results on arbitrage and especially the arbitrage pricing theory by distinguishing between the absence of arbitrage, the law of one price and the absence of riskless arbitrage. Then we find the implications of these conditions for arbitrage asset pricing. Since the three concepts of the absence of arbitrage imply that the linear functionals that give the mean and the cost of a portfolio are continuous, hence there exist unique portfolios that represent these functionals. We detect a positive distance between these portfolios and therefore between the functionals. Thus the law of one price and the absence of a riskless arbitrage opportunity lead to systematic mispricing if both the contingent claims and the assets are mispriced. The beta pricing literature usually makes strong assumptions to obtain exact asset pricing. This belongs to a debate over which factors have the best theoretical or empirical justification. In the light of our results it is more advisable to acknowledge that almost only approximate arbitrage asset pricing can be obtained. The introduction of risky arbitrage opportunities in the sense that there might be an arbitrage opportunity with positive probability but not with probability one requires the knowledge of the risk aversion of investors. Therefore exact asset pricing can only be obtained by equilibrium asset pricing models. Our results generalizes to other arbitrage asset pricing theories like the Black and Scholes option valuation model and even the Modigliani-Miller Theorem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present 'Introductory Lectures on Arbitrage-based Financial Asset Pricing' are a first attempt to give a comprehensive presentation of Arbitrage Theory in a discrete time framework (by the way: all the re sults given in these lectures apply to a continuous time framework but, probably, in continuous time we could achieve stronger results - of course at the price of stronger assumptions). It has been turned out in the last few years that capital market theory as derived and evolved from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) in the middle sixties, can, to an astonishing extent, be based on arbitrage arguments only, rather than on mean-variance preferences of investors. On the other hand, ar bitrage arguments provided access to a wider range of results which could not be obtained by standard CAPM-methods, e. g. the valuation of contingent claims (derivative assets) Dr the_ investigation of futures prices. To some extent the presentation will loosely follow historical lines. A selected set of capital asset pricing models will be derived according to their historical progress and their increasing complexity as well. It will be seen that they all share common structural properties. After having made this observation the presentation will become an axiomatical one: it will be stated in precise terms what arbitrage is about and what the consequences are if markets do not allow for risk-free arbitrage opportunities. The presentation will partly be accompanied by an illus trating example: two-state option pricing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hansen and Jagannathan (1997) have developed two measures of pricing errors for asset-pricing models: the maximum pricing error in all static portfolios of the test assets and the maximum pricing error in all contingent claims of the assets. In this paper, we develop simulation-based Bayesian inference for these measures. While the literature reports that the time-varying extensions substantially reduce pricing errors of classic models on the standard test assets, our analysis shows that the reduction is much smaller based on the second measure. Those time-varying models have large pricing errors on the contingent claims of the test assets because their stochastic dis- count factors are often negative and admit arbitrage opportunities.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on pricing derivatives securities such as stock options in incomplete financial markets. The goal is to determine arbitrage free prices for these securities. For this we consider a finite state, discrete time stochastic model of a financial market known as the finite market model. We restrict our attention to derivatives securities known as European contingent claims, those that can only be exercised on the expiration date. In the early chapters, we define the model precisely and also summarize the pricing theory for complete markets. In this case, it turns out that there is a unique way to price arbitrage freely. This unique price can be computed as a certain conditional expected value under the associated equivalent martingale measure. The larger goal of this thesis is to give a thorough exposition of the pricing theory for incomplete markets. We will show that in these markets, arbitrage free prices exist, but unique pricing cannot always be obtained. When a particular price is not unique, there is an open interval over which the price can vary freely. The left ( resp. right) end points of this interval can be characterized as an infimum (resp. a supremum) of a certain conditional expected value over the set of associated equivalent martingale measures.

Download or read book Systemic Contingent Claims Analysis written by Mr.Andreas A. Jobst and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent global financial crisis has forced a re-examination of risk transmission in the financial sector and how it affects financial stability. Current macroprudential policy and surveillance (MPS) efforts are aimed establishing a regulatory framework that helps mitigate the risk from systemic linkages with a view towards enhancing the resilience of the financial sector. This paper presents a forward-looking framework ("Systemic CCA") to measure systemic solvency risk based on market-implied expected losses of financial institutions with practical applications for the financial sector risk management and the system-wide capital assessment in top-down stress testing. The suggested approach uses advanced contingent claims analysis (CCA) to generate aggregate estimates of the joint default risk of multiple institutions as a conditional tail expectation using multivariate extreme value theory (EVT). In addition, the framework also helps quantify the individual contributions to systemic risk and contingent liabilities of the financial sector during times of stress.
