Pricing Contingent Claims: A Stochastic Programming Perspective

Student-Run Research Seminar

Speaker: Prof. Roger Wets, UC Davis
Location: 593 Kerr
Start time: Wed, Apr 11 2001, 1:10PM

Abstract. The pricing of contingent claims is analyzed in the framework provided by stochastic programming duality. Arbitrage and the existence of equivalent martingale measure are shown to be dual concepts.
