Option valuation with liquidity risk and jumps

摘要

This article provides a simple model for pricing and hedging options in the presence of jumps and liquidity costs. In the article, liquidity risk is modelled via a stochastic supply curve function and a jump-diffusion process is approximated by a Markov chain. Local risk minimization incorporating liquidity risk is proposed to price and hedge European options in this discrete-time model. Moreover, an example is provided to implement the modified risk minimization method and to demonstrate the performance of hedging strategies.
