48 results for market viability

The paper studies market viability and completeness in discrete markets.

problem Characterizing the set of equivalent martingale measures in finite markets.
method Characterization as convex combinations of martingale measures, algorithm for finding these measures.
result Limitations of using discrete-time models to understand continuous-time models.

In a semimartingale financial market model, it is shown that there is equivalence between absence of arbitrage of the first kind (a weak viability condition) and the existence of a strictly positive process that acts as a local martingale deflator on nonnegative wealth processes.

Develops portfolio theory without probabilistic analysis, focusing on pathwise decomposition.

problem Ensuring market viability without probabilistic assumptions.
method Uses pathwise decomposition and trend extractors to replace semimartingale decomposition.

Blockchain markets with paid-priority trading can lead to biased prices and reduced liquidity.

problem Discrete clearing and paid-priority in blockchain markets lead to biased prices and reduced liquidity.
method Developed a model to evaluate the viability of blockchain markets under discrete clearing and paid-priority.
result Paid-priority ordering induces endogenous selection, leading to biased prices and reduced liquidity.

We consider a financial market model with a single risky asset whose price process evolves according to a general jump-diffusion with locally bounded coefficients and where market participants have only access to a partial information flow. For any utility function, we prove that the partial information financial marke…

This paper proposes two approaches that quantify the exact relationship among the viability, the absence of arbitrage, and/or the existence of the numéraire portfolio under minimal assumptions and for general continuous-time market models. Precisely, our first and principal contribution proves the equivalence among the…

An open market is a subset of an entire equity market composed of a certain fixed number of top capitalization stocks. Though the number of stocks in the open market is fixed, the constituents of the market change over time as each company's rank by its market capitalization fluctuates. When one is allowed to invest al…

We study arbitrage opportunities, market viability and utility maximization in market models with an insider. Assuming that an economic agent possesses from the beginning an additional information in the form of a random variable G, which only becomes known to the ordinary agents at date T, we give criteria for the No …

Study liquidity provision in decentralized exchanges considering risk aversion and replication costs.

problem Economic viability of liquidity provision in decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
method Formulated strategic interactions as a sequential game with risk-averse LP, traders, and arbitrageurs.
result DEX liquidity depth is crucial for risk management, influenced by risk aversion and replication costs.

Unified framework models multiple financial and insurance term structures.

problem Modeling multiple term structures in various markets.
method Extended Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) approach under real-world probability.
result Characterization of local martingale deflators and existence of affine realizations.

A financial market model where agents trade using realistic combinations of buy-and-hold strategies is considered. Minimal assumptions are made on the discounted asset-price process - in particular, the semimartingale property is not assumed. Via a natural market viability assumption, namely, absence of arbitrages of t…

New method for pricing and hedging options in risky markets.

problem Pricing and hedging derivatives in markets with equivalent local martingale measures not existing.
method Introduces a new superhedging duality for American options in a general market setting.
result Answers a question raised by Fernholz, Karatzas, and Kardaras about pricing American options.

We study a linear price impact model including other liquidity takers, whose flow of orders either follows a Poisson or a Hawkes process. The optimal execution problem is solved explicitly in this context, and the closed-formula optimal strategy describes in particular how one should react to the orders of other trader…

The Dybvig-Ingersoll-Ross (DIR) theorem states that, in arbitrage-free term structure models, long-term yields and forward rates can never fall. We present a refined version of the DIR theorem, where we identify the reciprocal of the maturity date as the maximal order that long-term rates at earlier dates can dominate …

We undertake a study of markets from the perspective of a financial agent with limited access to information. The set of wealth processes available to the agent is structured with reasonable economic properties, instead of the usual practice of taking it to consist of stochastic integrals against a semimartingale integ…

The paper examines how markets can anticipate and react to arbitrage opportunities, revealing biases and risks.

problem The tension between no arbitrage, information efficiency, and risk anticipation in markets.
method Continuous time analysis with model- or event-risk, allowing pre-horizon risk-resolution and Risk-Neutral Equivalent pricing.
result Optimised trading can suppress the anticipation of predictable risk-outcomes, creating an apparent Status Quo Bias.

The paper uses stochastic control to analyze interest rate markets with roll-over risk.

problem Analyzing interest rate markets with roll-over risk without classical arbitrage assumptions.
method Stochastic optimal control problems with power-type objective functionals.
result Endogenously determined funding-liquidity spread.

TDA improves stock portfolio selection by analyzing data structure.

problem Traditional portfolio selection methods fail to handle stock market data complexities.
method Two-stage method involving time series generation and clustering with TDA features.
result TDA-based portfolio outperforms other methods consistently over different time frames.

Study evaluates reinforcement learning for trading diverse stocks, finds Q-learning outperforms.

problem Evaluating reinforcement learning for trading diverse stocks.
method Implemented Value Iteration (VI), State-action-reward-state-action (SARSA), and Q-Learning on a diverse stock portfolio dataset.
result Q-learning performs better than VI and SARSA during testing, but performance varies based on market conditions.

Stochastic integrals are defined with respect to a collection P=(Pi;iI)P = (P_i; \, i \in I) of continuous semimartingales, imposing no assumptions on the index set II and the subspace of RI\mathbb{R}^I where PP takes values. The integrals are constructed though finite-dimensional approximation, identifying the appropriate …

This research proposes a method to hedge freight rate risk in shipping markets under model uncertainty.

problem Managing freight risk in shipping markets under model uncertainty.
method The approach uses Wasserstein barycenter for modeling freight rates dynamics and optimal hedging strategy selection.
result The proposed method provides robust hedging strategies even in high noise cases.

We develop the fundamental theorem of asset pricing in a probability-free infinite-dimensional setup. We replace the usual assumption of a prior probability by a certain continuity property in the state variable. Probabilities enter then endogenously as full support martingale measures (instead of equivalent martingale…

The use of CVA to cover credit risk is widely spread, but has its limitations. Namely, dealers face the problem of the illiquidity of instruments used for hedging it, hence forced to warehouse credit risk. As a result, dealers tend to offer a limited OTC derivatives market to highly risky counterparties. Consequently, …

problem Lack of domain-specific training and ongoing maintenance in supervised learning for time series forecasting.
method Evaluation of foundation models against standard supervised approaches across four operational regimes: periodic, physically constrained, stochastic, and demand forecasting.
