In this paper, we study the problem of finding the minimal initial capital (i.e. super-replication value) needed in order to hedge (without risk) European contingent claims in a Markov setting under proportional transaction costs. The main result is that the cheapest (trivial) buy-and-hold...

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in Cetin, Jarrow and Protter [3] where the supply function S"(s; ) depends on a parameter " 0 with S0(s; ) = s corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of Cetin, Soner and Touzi [6] of the super-hedging...

We study the problem of finding the minimal price needed to dominate European-type contingent claims under proportional transaction costs in a continuous-time diffusion model. The result we prove has already been known in special cases - the minimal super-replicating strategy is the least...

Following the framework of Cetin et al. (finance stoch. 8:311-341, 2004), we study the problem of super-replication in the presence of liquidity costs under additional restrictions on the gamma of the hedging strategies in a generalized black-scholes economy. We find that the minimal...

This paper considers an extension of the Merton optimal investment problem to the case where the risky asset is subject to transaction costs and capital gains taxes. We derive the dynamic programming equation in the sense of constrained viscosity solutions. We next introduce a family of...

We consider a multivariate financial market with transaction costs as in Kabanov. We study the problem of finding the minimal initial capital needed to hedge, without risk, European-type contingent claims. We prove that the value of this stochastic control problem is given by the cost of the...
