We investigate pricing-hedging duality for American options in discrete time financial models where some assets are traded dynamically and others, e.g. a family of European options, only statically. In the first part of the paper we consider an abstract setting, which includes the classical case with a fixed reference probability measure as well as the robust framework with a non-dominated family of probability measures. Our first insight is that by considering a (universal) enlargement of the space, we can see American options as European options and recover the pricing-hedging duality, which may fail in the original formulation. This may be seen as a weak formulation of the original problem. Our second insight is that lack of duality is caused by the lack of dynamic consistency and hence a different enlargement with dynamic consistency is sufficient to recover duality: it is enough to consider (fictitious) extensions of the market in which all the assets are traded dynamically. In the second part of the paper we study two important examples of robust framework: the setup of Bouchard and Nutz (2015) and the martingale optimal transport setup of Beiglbock et al. (2013), and show that our general results apply in both cases and allow us to obtain pricing-hedging duality for American options.
We shall study backward stochastic differential equations and we will present a new approach for the existence of the solution. This type of equation appears very often in the valuation of financial derivatives in complete markets. Therefore, the ide
We solve non-Markovian optimal switching problems in discrete time on an infinite horizon, when the decision maker is risk aware and the filtration is general, and establish existence and uniqueness of solutions for the associated reflected backward
In this paper we solve the discrete time mean-variance hedging problem when asset returns follow a multivariate autoregressive hidden Markov model. Time dependent volatility and serial dependence are well established properties of financial time seri
In this paper, we consider the problem of equal risk pricing and hedging in which the fair price of an option is the price that exposes both sides of the contract to the same level of risk. Focusing for the first time on the context where risk is mea
We extend the approach of Carr, Itkin and Muravey, 2021 for getting semi-analytical prices of barrier options for the time-dependent Heston model with time-dependent barriers by applying it to the so-called $lambda$-SABR stochastic volatility model.
