This paper investigates option prices in an incomplete stochastic volatility model with correlation. In a general setting, we prove an ordering result which says that prices for European options with convex payoffs are decreasing in the market price of volatility risk. As an example, and as our...

A canonical problem in real option pricing, as described in the classic text of Dixit and Pindyck [2], is to determine the optimal time to invest at a fixed cost, to receive in return a stochastic cashflow. In this paper we are interested in this problem in an incomplete market where the...

In this article we study an optimal stopping/optimal control problem which models the decision facing a risk-averse agent over when to sell an asset. The market is incomplete so that the asset exposure cannot be hedged. In addition to the decision over when to sell, the agent has to choose a...

A passport option, as introduced and marketed by Bankers Trust, is a call option on the balance of a trading account. The strategy that this account follows is chosen by the option holder, subject to position limits. <p>We derive a simplified form for the price of the passport option using local...</p>
