Abstract
We consider indifference pricing of contingent claims consisting of payment flows in a discrete-time model with proportional transaction costs and under exponential disutility. This setting covers utility maximization of terminal wealth as a special case. A dual representation is obtained for the associated disutility minimization problem, together with a dynamic procedure for solving it. This leads to efficient and convergent numerical procedures for indifference pricing, optimal trading strategies and shadow prices that apply to a wide range of payoffs, a large range of time steps and all magnitudes of transaction costs.
期刊介绍:
The shift of the financial market towards the general use of advanced mathematical methods has led to the introduction of state-of-the-art quantitative tools into the world of finance. The International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance (IJTAF) brings together international experts involved in the mathematical modelling of financial instruments as well as the application of these models to global financial markets. The development of complex financial products has led to new challenges to the regulatory bodies. Financial instruments that have been designed to serve the needs of the mature capitals market need to be adapted for application in the emerging markets.
