Since the model is incomplete, there are many equivalent martingale measures. Each of these measures corresponds to a choice for the market price of diffusion risk and the market price of jump risk. Our main result is to show that for convex payoffs, the option price is increasing in the jump-risk parameter. We apply this result to deduce general inequalities, comparing the prices of contingent claims under various martingale measures, which have been proposed in the literature as candidate pricing measures. Our proofs are based on couplings of stochastic processes. If there is only one possible jump size then we are able to utilize a second coupling to extend our results to include stochastic jump intensities.","PeriodicalId":289792,"journal":{"name":"Stochastics and Stochastic Reports","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122038426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applying the WKB method, we obtain multiplicative small time and semiclassical asymptotics for the Green functions and for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation under some natural additional assumptions on their coefficients. The first step in this construction consists in solving the corresponding stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations which constitute the \"classical part\" of the semiclassical approximation. In its turn, the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equations can be solved via solutions of the corresponding Hamiltonian systems, which gives rise to the method of stochastic characteristics. The relevant theory of stochastic Hamiltonian systems and stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations was developed in our previous papers. Here we put the final rung on the ladder: stochastic Hamiltonian systems, stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations, stochastic heat equations.","PeriodicalId":289792,"journal":{"name":"Stochastics and Stochastic Reports","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126187136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We prove a functional central limit theorem for the model and derive two types of nonintersecting Brownian motions, in which the nonintersecting condition is imposed in a finite time interval for the first type and in an infinite time interval for the second type, respectively. The limit process of the first type is a temporally inhomogeneous diffusion, and that of the second type is a temporally homogeneous diffusion that is identified with a Dyson's model of Brownian motions studied in the random matrix theory. We show that these two types of processes are related to each other by a multi-dimensional generalization of Imhof's relation, whose original form relates the Brownian meander and the three-dimensional Bessel process. We also study the vicious walkers with wall restriction and prove a functional central limit theorem in the diffusion scaling limit.","PeriodicalId":289792,"journal":{"name":"Stochastics and Stochastic Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122236951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
