Price bounds of mortality-linked security in incomplete insurance market

This study investigates reasonable price bounds for mortality-linked securities when the issuer has only a partial hedging ability. The price bounds are established by minimizing the difference between the benchmark price and the replicating portfolio cost subject to the gain–loss ratio of excess payoff of the mortality-linked securities. In contrast to the previous studies, the assumptions of no-arbitrage pricing and utility-based pricing are not fully employed in this study because of the incompleteness of the insurance securitization market. Instead, a framework including three insurance basis assets is constructed to search for the price bounds of mortality-linked securities and use the Swiss Re mortality catastrophe bond, issued in 2003, as a numerical example. The proposed price bounds are valuable for setting bid–asked spreads and coupon premiums, and establishing trading strategies in the raising mortality securitization markets.

Do market share and efficiency matter for each other? An application of the zero-sum gains data envelopment analysis

Current studies that use traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) neglect the 100% market share restriction. This study adopts zero-sum gains data envelopment analysis to measure the efficiency scores of securities firms (SFs) and indicates that the traditional DEA model underestimates the efficiency scores of inefficient SFs. This research analyses 266 integrated securities firms in Taiwan from 2001 to 2005 and employs three inputs (fixed assets, financial capital, and general expenses) and a single output (market share). The foreign-affiliated ownership of SFs positively affects the efficiency scores. The two-stage least squares procedure confirms that the market share and efficiency score simultaneously reinforce each other.     

On the number of securities which constitute an efficient portfolio

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between the number of securities which constitute an efficient portfolio as defined by the standard mean-variance portfolio selection model and the number of periods used to compute the efficient portfolio. It is shown that the number of data gives the upper bound of the number of securities which constitute an efficient portfolio, when each efficient portfolio is unique for a given expected return. Empirical tests based on actual return data show that this upper bound is very tight when the number of data is small. However, when more data are used, the upper bound becomes looser. This result is incompatible with the market efficiency. These empirical tests also indicate that a very tight upper bound often causes a degenerate case ensuring zero-variance portfolios.     

证券交易印花税与市场质量——来自中国证券市场的实证分析

在证券市场监管中,证券交易印花税一直被视为一种重要的调节方式,但已有研究对证券交易印花税调整如何导致市场质量的改变并没有一致意见,我国证券市场次近两次印花税调整(一降一升),恰好提供了探讨这个问题的"自然实验"机会。通过事件研究法,发现印花税上调后,市场的流动性减少,市场的波动性增加,市场的价格发现过程延迟,市场质量整体变差;印花税下调后,市场的流动性增加,市场的定价效率提升,市场的波动性却加大,市场质量指标变化呈现不一致性。由于事件研究法存在计量缺陷,进一步使用对比分析和回归分析控制成交量和价格水平等内生变量的影响,证实印花税下调整体改善了市场质量。证券交易印花税与市场质量呈负相关关系,税率上调的影响大于税率下调的影响,降低印花税赋税水平符合市场微观结构的内在要求。     

Analog of the black-scholes formula for option pricing under conditions of (b, s, x)-incomplete market of securities with jumps

We describe a (B, S,X )-incomplete market of securities with jumps as a jump random evolution process that is a combination of an ltô process in random Markov medium and a geometric compound Poisson process. For this model, we derive the Black-Scholes equation and formula, which describe the pricing of the European call option under conditions of (B,S,X)-mcomplete market.     

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.     

证券市场内幕交易有信息含量的临界点值推算

中国证券市场内幕交易的同时存在市场操纵行为,使得独立判断内幕交易的信息含量存在困难.为解决判断纯粹内幕交易是否具有信息含量问题,需要确定内幕交易具有信息含量的临界点值.采用我国证券市场内幕交易与操纵样本数据,先在操纵均衡点附近排除市场操纵的影响,然后推算出无消息、无操纵状态下证券随同大盘运动的理论增长路径,在此基础上比较基于内幕信息操纵和理论增长情况,通过设定与理论增长的倍数关系,推算纯粹内幕交易具有信息含量的临界点值:异常收益应大于3%.该值可以解释现有文献认为内幕交易有或没有信息含量的矛盾与争论.应用于中国内幕交易实际情况及与近年国际相关研究文献对照,临界点值得到支持.

Thin trading and estimation of systematic risk: An application of an error-correction model

Financial economics literature indicates that estimates for securities' systematic risk, i.e. the beta coefficients, are highly affected by infrequent trading. This is an especially serious problem in small security markets. In this study, the applicability of an error-correction model is investigated for modeling the risk behavior of thinly traded securities. The empirical results from a small stock market, i.e. the Helsinki Stock Exchange, indicate the estimated error-correction term to be highly dependent on the underlying trading frequency of the stock, while the direct effect is dependent merely on the market value of the firm. The model thus appears to produce useful information about the risk characteristics of thinly traded stocks.     

Pricing and hedging in a single period market with random interval valued assets

In this article, a new financial market model, in which securities have random interval valued payoffs, is proposed. As an extension of traditional random market model, some concepts, such as robust arbitrage opportunities, risk-neutral pricing measures and robust replicative strategies, are given and discussed parallel to those in traditional market analysis. With these new concepts, problems of pricing and hedging are analyzed. It is shown that the requirement of no robust arbitrage opportunities is equivalent to the existence of risk-neutral pricing measures. Taking no robust arbitrage as the valuation principle, the problem of pricing a contingent claim with random interval valued payoff is discussed. All no robust arbitrage prices of the claim form an interval, whose endpoints can be got from the risk-neutral pricing measures or from robust replicative strategies.     

股本规模、涨跌幅限制与触限频率的实证研究

本文运用广义矩估计(GMM)方法,对沪深上市公司价格触限频率与股本规模之间的关系进行回归分析。结果表明:流通股本规模越小的公司,其价格触限频率更高,而中小企业板股票的价格触限频率高于主板股票近两个百分点。研究说明中小企业板的涨跌停幅度应大于主板幅度,以更好地体现价格限制制度的作用。     

基于可信性理论的均值-熵-偏度投资组合模型及其算法求解

本文考虑到证券市场的投资者往往面临着随机和模糊两种不确定性的情形,在模糊随机环境下把证券的收益率视作三角模糊变量,在可信性理论基础上建立了带融资约束条件的均值-熵-偏度三目标投资组合决策模型,拓展了基于可信性理论的投资组合决策模型的研究内容,同时通过对约束条件处理方法,外部档案维护方法等关键算子的改良,提出了一种新的约束多目标粒子群算法。本文运用该算法对模型进行求解,把得到的最优解与传统的多目标粒子群算法得到的最优解进行对比,结果表明新算法得到的最优解的质量会显著地优于传统的多目标粒子群算法的最优解,从而验证了算法的有效性和准确性。该算法可以在三维空间中得到一个分布性和逼近性较好的Pareto最优曲面,满足投资者对不同目标的差异需求,为投资者提供合理的投资组合决策方案。

Market calibration under a long memory stochastic volatility model

In this article, we study a long memory stochastic volatility model (LSV), under which stock prices follow a jump-diffusion stochastic process and its stochastic volatility is driven by a continuous-time fractional process that attains a long memory. LSV model should take into account most of the observed market aspects and unlike many other approaches, the volatility clustering phenomenon is captured explicitly by the long memory parameter. Moreover, this property has been reported in realized volatility time-series across different asset classes and time periods. In the first part of the article, we derive an alternative formula for pricing European securities. The formula enables us to effectively price European options and to calibrate the model to a given option market. In the second part of the article, we provide an empirical review of the model calibration. For this purpose, a set of traded FTSE 100 index call options is used and the long memory volatility model is compared to a popular pricing approach – the Heston model. To test stability of calibrated parameters and to verify calibration results from previous data set, we utilize multiple data sets from NYSE option market on Apple Inc. stock.

基于分形B-S定价模型的认购权证价格行为实证分析

针对证券收益率呈现"尖峰厚尾"的分布特征,在分析传统B-S权证定价模型的不足基础上,本文提出了基于分形理论的B-S权证定价模型,并利用分形B-S权证定价模型和传统B-S模型分析认购权证价格变化的行为。实证结果发现,两种模型的理论价格均低估了市场价格,且低估的程度具有显著统计性,其中以分形B-S模型评价结果最接近市场价格,评价绩效好。探讨影响分形B-S权证模型理论价格与市场价格差异的主要因素,结果发现距到期日时间的长短、价内外程度以及流动性在解释价差程度上具有统计的显著性。
