In incomplete markets replication strategies may not exist and pricing of derivatives is not an easy task. This paper presents an application of Bertsimas, Kogan and Lo’s algorithm of determining an optimal-replication strategy. In the Merton model the likelihood function is a product of a...

News might trigger jump arrivals in financial time series. The "bad" news and "good" news seem to have distinct impact. In the research, a double exponential jump distribution is applied to model downward and upward jumps. Bayesian double exponential jump-diffusion model is proposed. Theorems...
