No-Arbitrage Pricing for Dividend-Paying Securities in Discrete-Time Markets with Transaction Costs

General Finance 2013-06-13 v2 Probability

Abstract

We prove a version of First Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing under transaction costs for discrete-time markets with dividend-paying securities. Specifically, we show that the no-arbitrage condition under the efficient friction assumption is equivalent to the existence of a risk-neutral measure. We derive dual representations for the superhedging ask and subhedging bid price processes of a derivative contract. Our results are illustrated with a vanilla credit default swap contract.
