Efficient hedging for a complete jump-diffusion model

Kirch, Michael; Krutchenko, R. N.; Melʹnikov, Aleksandr V. - 2002

This paper is devoted to the problem of hedging contingent claims in the framework of a complete two-factor jump … determine the unique hedging strategies which minimize a suitably defined shortfall risk under a given cost constraint. We … derive explicit formulas for this so-called efficient or quantile hedging strategy for a European call option. We then …

Semiparametric analysis of German East-West migration intentions : facts and theory

Burda, Michael C.; Härdle, Wolfgang; Müller, Marlene; … - 1997

East-West migration in Germany peaked at the beginning of the 90s although the average wage gap between Eastern and Western Germany continues to average about 25%. We analyze the propensity to migrate using microdata from the German Socioeconomic Panel. Fitting a parametric Generalized Linear...

Discrete time option pricing with flexible volatility estimation

Härdle, Wolfgang; Hafner, Christian M. - 1997

By extending the GARCH option pricing model of Duan (1995) to more flexible volatility estimation it is shown that the prices of out-of-the-money options strongly depend on volatility features such as asymmetry. Results are provided for the properties of the stationary pricing distribution in...

Implied volatility string dynamics

Fengler, Matthias R.; Härdle, Wolfgang; Mammen, Enno - 2003

A primary goal in modelling the dynamics of implied volatility surfaces (IVS) aims at reducing complexity. For this purpose one fits the IVS each day and applies a principal component analysis using a functional norm. This approach, however, neglects the degenerated string structure of the...

Dynamic nonparametric state price density estimation using constrained least squares and the bootstrap

Härdle, Wolfgang; Yatchew, Adonis John - 2001

The economic theory of option pricing imposes constraints on the structure of call functions and state price densities (SPDs). Except in a few polar cases, it does not prescribe functional forms. This paper proposes a nonparametric estimator of option pricing models which incorporates various...
