Strict Local Martingale Deflators and Pricing American Call-Type Options

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 01:45pm - 02:45pm

Speaker: Erhan Bayraktar, University of Michigan

We solve the problem of pricing and optimal exercise of American call-type options in markets which do not necessarily admit an equivalent local martingale measure. This resolves an open question proposed by Fernholz and Karatzas [Stochastic Portfolio Theory: A Survey, Handbook of Numerical Analysis, 15:89-168, 2009].

Joint work with Kostas Kardaras and Hao Xing.
