Book Description
Whereas the discrete-time hedging strategies and hedging error problems have been examined by several researchers under the Black-Scholes assumption of geometric Brownian motion, nothing has been done to the problems when the stocks have discontinuous returns. This dissertation, examines two major issues in options pricing and hedging: the problem of discrete-time hedging and hedging error on the one hand, and pricing European call options in the presence of transaction costs on the other, when the underlying securities follow a jump-diffusion process. Under the assumptions of the continuous time models presented by Bardhan and Chao (1993), we develop discrete-time hedging strategies using a fixed revision interval and constant parameters for European call option, and analyzed the associated hedging errors associated. We proved that the total hedging error converges to zero in probability as the time between rebalancing points goes to zero. For small revision time intervals, we derive an approximate conditional distribution for the individual one period hedging errors. We derive an exact closed form expression for the total expected hedging error, conditional on the information at time when the call option is written. The results obtained can be used in risk management to monitor the performance of the strategies. We also developed an equation for European call options when the underlying asset follows the jump-diffusion process in the presence of non-zero transaction costs: extending an equation of Leland's (1985).

Book Description
Contrary to a continuous-time model, in a discrete-time binomial model it is possible to construct a self-financing strategy which exactly replicates the payoff of a European option contract at maturity in the presence of proportional transactions costs. We derive an upper boundary for the cost factor in a market where all investors face the same factor. This upper boundary ensures the efficiency of the riskfree bond price as well as the stock price process. It turns out that perfect replication is optimal in the presence of only one transactions costs factor. Furthermore, conditions are given under which superreplicating strategies are dominant under differential transactions costs. A closed-form solution for the value of a Short call option is derived. While this least initial endowment is preference-free, the individual replicating strategy is preference-dependent. In addition, we show how the value of a Long European call option is derived computationally easily.

Book Description
In the presence of transaction costs, a risk-return trade-off exists between the quality and the cost of a replicating strategy. In that context, I show how to expand the set of all possible time-based strategies through the introduction of a multi-scale class of strategies, which consist in rebalancing different fractions of an option portfolio at different time frequencies. The method, based on time-scale diversification, is to dynamic replication what investment in diversified portfolios is to static portfolio selection: in a dynamic context, one may enjoy the benefits of diversification by using different time scales in trading the same asset.

Book Description
Working in a binomial framework, Boyle and Vorst (1992) derive self-financing strategies perfectly replicating the final payoffs to long positions in European call and put options, assuming proportional transactions costs on trades in the stocks. The initial cost of such a strategy yields, by an arbitrage argument, an upper bound for the option price. A lower bound for the option price is obtained by replicating a short position. However, for short positions, Boyle and Vorst have to impose three additional conditions. The authors' first aim in this paper is to remove Boyle and Vorst's conditions for the replication of short calls and puts. Boyle and Vorst's algorithm calculates the current holdings in stocks and bonds in terms of those at the following period. This is unlike the case of no transaction costs where the current cost of the option can be calculated directly from the costs at the following period. The authors' second aim is to show that even in the case of transactions costs the cost of replication can be directly calculated also. As a by-product, the authors are able to derive upper bounds for the cost of replication which are valid for long positions and also for short positions when two of Boyle and Vorst's additional conditions hold. The authors' third aim is to show that the time of computation using the backward recursion can be halved. This seems to to be a new observation, even in the case of no transactions costs.
