<Para ID="Par1">We give characterizations of asymptotic arbitrage of the first and second kind and of strong asymptotic arbitrage for a sequence of financial markets with small proportional transaction costs λ <Subscript> n </Subscript> on market n, in terms of contiguity properties of sequences of equivalent probability measures...</subscript></para>

The goal of this work is to study binary market models with transaction costs, and to characterize their arbitrage opportunities. It has been already shown that the absence of arbitrage is related to the existence of λ-consistent price systems (λ-CPS), and, for this reason, we aim to provide...

We introduce a variant of the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard stochastic volatility model where the non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process describes some measure of trading intensity like trading volume or number of trades instead of unobservable instantaneous variance. We develop an explicit...

In the present paper we give some preliminary results for option pricing and hedging in the framework of the Bates model based on quadratic risk minimization. We provide an explicit expression of the mean-variance hedging strategy in the martingale case and study the Minimal Martingale measure...

In this paper we offer a systematic survey and comparison of the Esscher martingale transform for linear processes, the Esscher martingale transform for exponential processes, and the minimal entropy martingale measure for exponential Levy models, and present some new results in order to give a...

We compute and then discuss the Esscher martingale transform for exponential processes, the Esscher martingale transform for linear processes, the minimal martingale measure, the class of structure preserving martingale measures, and the minimum entropy martingale measure for stochastic...
