We propose a hedging approach for general contingent claims when liquidity is a concern and trading is subject to transaction cost. Multiple assets with different liquidity levels are available for hedging. Our risk criterion targets a tradeoff between minimizing the risk against fluctuations in the stock price and incurring low liquidity costs. Following c{C}etin U., Jarrow R.A., and Protter P. (2004) we work in an arbitrage-free setting assuming a supply curve for each asset. In discrete time, following the ideas in Schweizer M. (1998) and Lamberton D., Pham H., Schweizer M. (1998) we prove the existence of a locally risk-minimizing strategy under mild conditions on the price process. Under stochastic and time-dependent liquidity risk we give a closed-form solution for an optimal strategy in the case of a linear supply curve model. Finally we show how our hedging method can be applied in energy markets where futures with different maturities are available for trading. The futures closest to their delivery period are usually the most liquid but depending on the contingent claim not necessary optimal in terms of hedging. In a simulation study we investigate this tradeoff and compare the resulting hedge strategies with the classical ones.

We derive representations of local risk-minimization of call and put options for Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models: jump type stochastic volatility models whose squared volatility process is given by a non-Gaussian rnstein-Uhlenbeck process. The general form of Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models includes two parameters: volatility risk premium $beta$ and leverage effect $rho$. Arai and Suzuki (2015, arxiv:1503.08589) dealt with the same problem under constraint $beta=-frac{1}{2}$. In this paper, we relax the restriction on $beta$; and restrict $rho$ to $0$ instead. We introduce a Malliavin calculus under the minimal martingale measure to solve the problem.
We obtain explicit representations of locally risk-minimizing strategies of call and put options for the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models, which are Ornstein--Uhlenbeck-type stochastic volatility models. Using Malliavin calculus for Levy processes, Arai and Suzuki (2015) obtained a formula for locally risk-minimizing strategies for Levy markets under many additional conditions. Supposing mild conditions, we make sure that the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard models satisfy all the conditions imposed in Arai and Suzuki (2015). Among others, we investigate the Malliavin differentiability of the density of the minimal martingale measure. Moreover, some numerical experiments for locally risk-minimizing strategies are introduced.
We consider thin incomplete financial markets, where traders with heterogeneous preferences and risk exposures have motive to behave strategically regarding the demand schedules they submit, thereby impacting prices and allocations. We argue that traders relatively more exposed to market risk tend to submit more elastic demand functions. Noncompetitive equilibrium prices and allocations result as an outcome of a game among traders. General sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of such equilibrium are provided, with an extensive analysis of two-trader transactions. Even though strategic behaviour causes inefficient social allocations, traders with sufficiently high risk tolerance and/or large initial exposure to market risk obtain more utility gain in the noncompetitive equilibrium, when compared to the competitive one.
The objective of this paper is to introduce the theory of option pricing for markets with informed traders within the framework of dynamic asset pricing theory. We introduce new models for option pricing for informed traders in complete markets where we consider traders with information on the stock price direction and stock return mean. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing theory is extended for markets with informed traders, where price processes are following continuous-diffusions. By doing so, the discontinuity puzzle in option pricing is resolved. Using market option data, we estimate the implied surface of the probability for a stock upturn, the implied mean stock return surface, and implied trader information intensity surface.
In a model independent discrete time financial market, we discuss the richness of the family of martingale measures in relation to different notions of Arbitrage, generated by a class $mathcal{S}$ of significant sets, which we call Arbitrage de la classe $mathcal{S}$. The choice of $mathcal{S}$ reflects into the intrinsic properties of the class of polar sets of martingale measures. In particular: for S=${Omega}$ absence of Model Independent Arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a martingale measure; for $mathcal{S}$ being the open sets, absence of Open Arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of full support martingale measures. These results are obtained by adopting a technical filtration enlargement and by constructing a universal aggregator of all arbitrage opportunities. We further introduce the notion of market feasibility and provide its characterization via arbitrage conditions. We conclude providing a dual representation of Open Arbitrage in terms of weakly open sets of probability measures, which highlights the robust nature of this concept.
