Stochastic moment problem and hedging of generalized Black-Scholes options

In mathematical finance one is interested in the quadratic error which occurs while replacing a continuously adjusted portfolio by a discretely adjusted one. We first study higher order approximations of stochastic integrals. Then we apply the results to quantify quadratic error which occurs in estimating the discretely adjusted hedging risk in pricing European options in a generalized Black-Scholes market.     

有摩擦金融市场中的美式未定权益定价

本文研究了高借款利率下投资策略受限制的美式未定权益的定价问题. 文章通过引入反映上述金融市场摩擦的辅助的无摩擦金融市场类给出了美式未定权益的上下套期保值价格$h_{\text{up}}(K)$和$h_{\text{low}}(K)$的定价公式. 进一步, 在基于金融市场无套利的准则下证明了$[h_{\text{low}}(K),h_{\text{up}}(K)]$是美式未定权益的无套利价格区间. 最后在投资策略受到某些具体限制的情形下, 以美式看涨期权为例, 给出了上下套期保值价格的显式表达式或估计式.     

Efficient Hedging and Pricing of Life Insurance Policies in a Jump-Diffusion Model

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the problem of hedging contingent claims in the framework of a two factors jump-diffusion model under initial budget constraint. We give explicit formulas for the so called efficient hedging. These results are applied for the pricing of equity linked-life insurance contracts.     

一种非概率的利率模型

对于固定收益产品定价这个问题已经有很多种方法,将从另外一种角度来考虑这个问题,先通过T ay lor展开得到一个双曲型的偏微分方程,利用这个方程可以求出未定权益组合的最好最坏情景下的价格,然后再利用市场上已有的产品对此未定权益静态对冲,将会得到一个收益率曲线包络.     

我国外贸企业人民币升值加息双重风险同步管理与独立管理比较研究

我国出口外贸企业将来收到外汇货款又要借款用于生产,企业面临很大人民币汇率利率双重风险,因此迫切需要解决其风险管理问题。可以使用目前市场上交易的人民币外汇远期、外汇期货和利率远期等衍生工具,分别对这两项风险进行独立管理和同步管理。导出策略的回报、风险和效率等统计指标,比较评价这两种风险管理策略的优良性。得到同步管理比独立管理更加优越的结论,企业可以使用同步管理策略更有效地规避所面临的双重风险。     

The sample average approximation method for empty container repositioning with uncertainties

One of the challenges faced by liner operators today is to effectively operate empty containers in order to meet demand and to reduce inefficiency in an uncertain environment. To incorporate uncertainties in the operations model, we formulate a two-stage stochastic programming model with random demand, supply, ship weight capacity, and ship space capacity. The objective of this model is to minimize the expected operational cost for Empty Container Repositioning (ECR). To solve the stochastic programs with a prohibitively large number of scenarios, the Sample Average Approximation (SAA) method is applied to approximate the expected cost function. To solve the SAA problem, we consider applying the scenario aggregation by combining the approximate solution of the individual scenario problem. Two heuristic algorithms based on the progressive hedging strategy are applied to solve the SAA problem. Numerical experiments are provided to show the good performance of the scenario-based method for the ECR problem with uncertainties.     

基于风险约束的套期保值模型及沪深300股指实证研究

提出利用风险价值VaR建立套期保值资产组合的风险约束.以套期保值资产组合收益最大为目标,以控制套期保值资产组合风险为约束,建立了基于风险约束的套期保值模型.该模型在有效控制风险的基础上,可以大幅提高套期保值资产组合的收益.对沪深300股指现货和期货的数据进行了实证分析,对比了现有研究的最小二乘((OLS)、向量自回归(VAR)、向量误差修正(VEC)三种模型以及本文建立的基于风险约束的期货套期保值模型.样本内检验结果表明,本模型比现有研究模型的收益有大幅提高,平均增加81.6%.同时并没有失去对风险的控制,与现有研究模型只有5.32%的差别.对于样本外检验,模型在控制风险和提高收益两个方面都要优于现有研究模型.模型比现有研究模型平均可提高收益21.4%,平均降低风险3.61%.     

离散条件下标的资产带跳的德尔塔对冲误差研究

讨论了离散条件下的德尔塔对冲以及含泊松跳跃的布莱克—休斯模型下期权的定价问题.在布莱克—休斯模型中对冲被假设为连续发生的,当应用于离散的交易时,对冲误差就产生了.考虑到对冲误差,得出一种离散条件下标的资产带泊松跳跃的修正的布莱克—休斯方程和依赖再对冲区间长度的更精确的德尔塔值.     

A note on convergence of option prices and their Greeks for Lévy models

We study the robustness of option prices to model variation after a change of measure where the measure depends on the model choice. We consider geometric Lévy models in which the infinite activity of the small jumps is approximated by a scaled Brownian motion. For the Esscher transform, the minimal entropy martingale measure, the minimal martingale measure and the mean variance martingale measure, we show that the option prices and their corresponding deltas converge as the scaling of the Brownian motion part tends to zero. We give some examples illustrating our results.
