A jump model for fads in asset prices under asymmetric information

This paper addresses how asymmetric information, fads and Lévy jumps in the price of an asset affect the optimal portfolio strategies and maximum expected utilities of two distinct classes of rational investors in a financial market. We obtain the investors’ optimal portfolios and maximum expected logarithmic utilities and show that the optimal portfolio of each investor is more or less than its Merton optimal. Our approximation results suggest that jumps reduce the excess asymptotic utility of the informed investor relative to that of uninformed investor, and hence jump risk could be helpful for market efficiency as an indirect reducer of information asymmetry. Our study also suggests that investors should pay more attention to the overall variance of the asset pricing process when jumps exist in fads models. Moreover, if there are very little or too much fads, then the informed investor has no utility advantage in the long run.

Piecewise linear processes with Poisson‐modulated exponential switching times

We consider the jump telegraph process when switching intensities depend on external shocks also accompanying with jumps. The incomplete financial market model based on this process is studied. The Esscher transform, which changes only unobservable parameters, is considered in detail. The financial market model based on this transform can price switching risks as well as jump risks of the model.     

Insider Models with Finite Utility in Markets with Jumps

In this article we consider, under a Lévy process model for the stock price, the utility optimization problem for an insider agent whose additional information is the final price of the stock blurred with an additional independent noise which vanishes as the final time approaches. Our main interest is establishing conditions under which the utility of the insider is finite. Mathematically, the problem entails the study of a “progressive” enlargement of filtration with respect to random measures. We study the jump structure of the process which leads to the conclusion that in most cases the utility of the insider is finite and his optimal portfolio is bounded. This can be explained financially by the high risks involved in models with jumps.     

Research on the Forecasting Performance of the HAR-Type Model Based on True and False Jumps

Since the jump of an asset price has a strong effect on the estimate and forecast volatility, it has received widespread attention. Following HAR-CJ model introduced by Andersen et al, lots of works focus on this problem. In this paper, through a threshold technique, we distinguish the true and false jumps. Then we introduce two models, HAR-CTFJ model and LHAR-CTFJ model. Our result shows that the effect from the true jumps is significant while that from the false jumps is not. Moreover, the SPA test shows that our models (i.e. HAR-CTJ and LHAR-CTJ)are better than the classical HAR-CJ model in the prediction of volatility.     

Efficient portfolios in financial markets with proportional transaction costs

In this article, we characterize efficient portfolios, i.e. portfolios which are optimal for at least one rational agent, in a very general multi-currency financial market model with proportional transaction costs. In our setting, transaction costs may be random, time-dependent, have jumps and the preferences of the agents are modeled by multivariate expected utility functions. We provide a complete characterization of efficient portfolios, generalizing earlier results of Dybvig (Rev Financ Stud 1:67–88, 1988) and Jouini and Kallal (J Econ Theory 66: 178–197, 1995). We basically show that a portfolio is efficient if and only if it is cyclically anticomonotonic with respect to at least one consistent price system that prices it. Finally, we introduce the notion of utility price of a given contingent claim as the minimal amount of a given initial portfolio allowing any agent to reach the claim by trading, and give a dual representation of it as the largest proportion of the market price necessary for all agents to reach the same expected utility level.     

Option pricing under jump-diffusion models with mean-reverting bivariate jumps

We propose a jump-diffusion model where the bivariate jumps are serially correlated with a mean-reverting structure. Mathematical analysis of the jump accumulation process is given, and the European call option price is derived in analytical form. The model and analysis are further extended to allow for more general jump sizes. Numerical examples are provided to investigate the effects of mean-reversion in jumps on the risk-neutral return distributions, option prices, hedging parameters, and implied volatility smiles.     

A self-exciting threshold jump–diffusion model for option valuation

A self-exciting threshold jump–diffusion model for option valuation is studied. This model can incorporate regime switches without introducing an exogenous stochastic factor process. A generalized version of the Esscher transform is used to select a pricing kernel. The valuation of both the European and American contingent claims is considered. A piecewise linear partial-differential–integral equation governing a price of a standard European contingent claim is derived. For an American contingent claim, a formula decomposing a price of the American claim into the sum of its European counterpart and the early exercise premium is provided. An approximate solution to the early exercise premium based on the quadratic approximation technique is derived for a particular case where the jump component is absent. Numerical results for both European and American options are presented for the case without jumps.     

Pricing of general European options on discrete dividend-paying assets with jump-diffusion dynamics

Stocks regularly pay dividends at discrete intervals of time while statistical evidence indicates the existence of small “jumps” in the stock price dynamics. In this paper, we find closed-form solutions for the valuation of European options when the underlying asset is modeled by a jump-diffusion process and pays discrete or continuous dividends. The formula is very general and can be used with any specification on the distribution of the jump. Moreover, the formula is written in terms of the Black–Scholes formula with no jumps or dividends and thus indicates the effect of the jumps and the effect of the inclusion of discrete (or continuous) dividends on the price of the option.     

Option Pricing in Illiquid Markets with Jumps

ABSTRACT

The classical linear Black–Scholes model for pricing derivative securities is a popular model in the financial industry. It relies on several restrictive assumptions such as completeness, and frictionless of the market as well as the assumption on the underlying asset price dynamics following a geometric Brownian motion. The main purpose of this paper is to generalize the classical Black–Scholes model for pricing derivative securities by taking into account feedback effects due to an influence of a large trader on the underlying asset price dynamics exhibiting random jumps. The assumption that an investor can trade large amounts of assets without affecting the underlying asset price itself is usually not satisfied, especially in illiquid markets. We generalize the Frey–Stremme nonlinear option pricing model for the case the underlying asset follows a Lévy stochastic process with jumps. We derive and analyze a fully nonlinear parabolic partial-integro differential equation for the price of the option contract. We propose a semi-implicit numerical discretization scheme and perform various numerical experiments showing the influence of a large trader and intensity of jumps on the option price.     

Information on jump sizes and hedging

We study a hedging problem in a market where traders have various levels of information. The exclusive information available only to informed traders is modelled by a diffusion process rather than discrete arrivals of new information. The asset price follows a jump–diffusion process and an information process affects jump sizes of the asset price. We find the local risk minimization hedging strategy of informed traders. Numerical examples as well as their comparison with the Black–Scholes strategy are provided via Monte Carlo.     

国际油价波动跳跃性特征的实证分析

根据国际油价波动中存在异常跳跃的情况,本文运用EGARCH-Jump模型对国际油价波动的跳跃性特征进行了实证分析。结果表明,加入跳跃因素的模型减缓了国际油价波动的持续性,同时杠杆效应消失,表明跳跃性因素是国际油价波动的影响因素之一,也证实了国际油价波动的跳跃性特征是国际石油市场产生杠杆效应的原因。但从长期来看,跳跃性因素对国际油价波动的扰动影响并不大,国际油价的波动仍主要受正常信息的影响。总体上,EGARCH-Jump模型比普通GARCH族模型能更好地捕捉国际油价波动的动态性特征。

Asymptotic results for renewal risk models with risky investments

We consider a renewal jump–diffusion process, more specifically a renewal insurance risk model with investments in a stock whose price is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. Using Laplace transforms and regular variation theory, we introduce a transparent and unifying analytic method for investigating the asymptotic behavior of ruin probabilities and related quantities, in models with light- or heavy-tailed jumps, whenever the distribution of the time between jumps has rational Laplace transform.     

Robust mean variance portfolio selection model in the jump-diffusion financial market with an intractable claim

In this paper, a continuous-time robust mean variance model in the jump-diffusion financial market with an intractable claim is considered, in which the price processes of the assets not only are driven by the Brownian motion, but also have the Poisson jumps. By combining the martingale representation theorem and the quantile formulation method, an explicit closed-form solution of the robust mean-variance portfolio selection model is given under some suitable assumptions.
