Convex pricing by a generalized entropy penalty

Pricing of Securities 2008-12-18 v1 Probability

Abstract

In an incomplete Brownian-motion market setting, we propose a convex monotonic pricing functional for nonattainable bounded contingent claims which is compatible with prices for attainable claims. The pricing functional is defined as the convex conjugate of a generalized entropy penalty functional and an interpretation in terms of tracking with instantaneously vanishing risk can be given.
