At arbitrary prices of commodities and assets, fix-price equilibria exist under weak assumptions: endowments need not satisfy an interiority condition, utility functions need only satisfy a very weak monotonicity requirement, and the asset return matrix allows for redundant assets. Prices of...

Taking a portfolio perspective on option pricing and hedging, we show that within the standard Black …) hedging the total risk of each option separately, the correct hedge portfolio in discrete time eliminates linear (delta) as … indefinitely. This ties the literature on option pricing and hedging closer together with the APT literature in its focus on …

This paper investigates the limit properties of mean-variance (mv) and arbitrage pricing (ap) trading strategies using a general dynamic factor model, as the number of assets diverge to infinity. It extends the results obtained in the literature for the exact pricing case to two other cases of...

For market with an atomless continuum of assets, we formulate the intuitive idea of a well-diversified portfolio, and present a notion of exact arbitrage, strictly weaker than the more conventional notion of asymptotic arbitrage, and necessary and sufficient for the validity of an APT pricing...

Using a stochastic discount factor approach, we derive the exact solution for arbitrage-free bond yields for the case that the short-term interest rate follows a threshold process with the intercept switching endogenously. The yield functions, mapping the one-month rate into n-period yields,...

Pragmatic-world nominal riskless rates are non-negative. However, conventional arbitrage theory has yet to develop a …

In this note we present a simple method to include the no-arbitrage condition into the derivation of conditional densities using the principle of maximum entropy. For the case of identically and independently distributed returns, we easily derive that the whole process estimated that way is...

This paper studies the adverse price effects of convergence trading. I assume two assets with identical cash flows traded in segmented markets. Initially, there is gap between the prices of the assets, because local traders’ face asymmetric temporary shocks. In the absence of arbitrageurs, the...
