The market is thus incomplete implying that perfect hedging is not possible. To derive a hedging strategy, it follows the approach based on the idea of hedging under a mean-variance criterion suggested by Schweizer. A very simple solution of this hedging problem by using the numeraire method was presented and some examples with explicit solutions were given.展开更多

We apply the method of nurmeraire changes to evaluate convertible bonds when the instantaneous growth and variance of the value of issuer and those of zero-coupon bonds follow a general adapted stochastic process in this paper. A closed-form solution is derived when the instantaneous growth and variance of the value of issuer and those of zero-coupon bonds are deterministic function of time. We also consider a special case when the asset price follows GBM （Geometric Brownian Motion） and interest rate follows Vasicek＇s model.展开更多

In this paper, a generalization of the Geske formula for compound call options is obtained in the case of time-dependent volatility and time-dependent interest rate by applying martingale methods and the change of numeraire or the change of probability measure. An analytic formula for the reset call options with predetermined dates is also derived in the case by using the same approach. In contrast to partial differential equation (PDE) approach, our approach is simpler.展开更多

When the market is incomplete, prices can not be derived by no-arbitrage arguments,since it is not possible to replicate the payoff of a given contingent claim by a controlled portfolioof the basic securitites. We adopt the method of fictitious completion of [1] to provide an upperbound and a lower bound for the actual market price of the claim.展开更多
