Information Geometry provides a correspondence between differential geometry and statistics through the Fisher Information matrix. In particular, given two models from the same parametric family of distributions, one can define the distance between these models as the length of the shortest...

This paper considers multiple market agents who have distinct distributional opinions about the state price density. Different opinions can be contested on a hypothetical market that trades Arrow-Debreu securities. We focus on the situation when the agents are maximizing logarithmic utility as...

This paper considers multiple market agents who have distinct distributional opinions about the state price density. We first determine the optimal trading positions of a utility maximizing market taker who trades Arrow-Debreu securities for prices set by the market maker. We use calculus of...

We investigate the association of various firm-specific and market-wide factors with the riskneutral skewness (RNS) implied by the prices of individual stock options. Our analysis covers 149 U.S. firms over a four-year period. Our choice of firms is based on adequate liquidity and trading...
