Supported by empirical examples, this paper provides a theoretical analysis on the impacts of using a suboptimal information set for the estimation of the empirical pricing kernel and, more in general, for the validity of the fundamental theorems of asset pricing. While inferring the...

Asset price bubbles can arise unintentionally when one uses continuous-time diffusion processes to model financial quantities. We propose a flexible damped diffusion framework that is able to break many types of bubbles and preserve the martingale pricing approach. Damping can be done on either...

In practice, rather than to presume a hypothetical condition that needs be validated theoretically, it is sufficient to accept a real condition that exists and can be directly validated for practical purposes. This paper presents a practical approach to formulating the theoretical price of a...

This paper considers exponential utility indifference pricing for a multidimensional non-traded assets model subject to intertemporal default risk, and provides a semigroup approximation for the utility indifference price. The key tool is the splitting method, whose convergence is proved based...

We develop a comprehensive mathematical framework for polynomial jump-diffusions in a semimartingale context, which nest affine jump-diffusions and have broad applications in finance. We show that the polynomial property is preserved under polynomial transformations and Lévy time change. We...

A time homogeneous, purely discontinuous, parsimonous Markov martingale model is proposed for the risk neutral dynamics of equity forward prices. Transition probabilities are in the variance gamma class with spot dependent parameters. Markov chain approximations give access to option prices. The...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new non-parametric method to price options based on normalized Multipoint Padé Approximants. Following the seminal paper of Padé (1892), we propose to approximate the risk-neutral distribution by a rational function of polynomials that can accommodate...
