Minimal $f^q$-martingale measures for exponential L\'evy processes

Probability 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

Let LL be a multidimensional L\'evy process under PP in its own filtration. The fqf^q-minimal martingale measure QqQ_q is defined as that equivalent local martingale measure for E(L)\mathcal {E}(L) which minimizes the fqf^q-divergence E[(dQ/dP)q]E[(dQ/dP)^q] for fixed q(,0)(1,)q\in(-\infty,0)\cup(1,\infty). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of QqQ_q and an explicit formula for its density. For q=2q=2, we relate the sufficient conditions to the structure condition and discuss when the former are also necessary. Moreover, we show that QqQ_q converges for q1q\searrow1 in entropy to the minimal entropy martingale measure.
