Option Pricing and Replication with Transactions Costs
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified option replicating strategy which depends on the size of transactions costs and the frequency of revision was developed, which permits calculation of the transactions costs of option replication and provides bounds on option prices.

Abstract: Transactions costs invalidate the Black-Scholes arbitrage argument for option pricing, since continuous revision implies infinite trading. Discrete revision using Black-Scholes deltas generates errors which are correlated with the market, and do not approach zero with more frequent revision when transactions costs are included. This paper develops a modified option replicating strategy which depends on the size of transactions costs and the frequency of revision. Hedging errors are uncorrelated with the market and approach zero with more frequent revision. The technique permits calculation of the transactions costs of option replication and provides bounds on option prices.

Capital market theory and the pricing of financial securities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss necessary conditions for static financial equilibrium that are used to determine restrictions on equilibrium security prices and discuss the conditions under which allocations in the continuous trading model are Pareto efficient.

Scaling and long-range dependence in option pricing II: Pricing European option with transaction costs under the mixed Brownian–fractional Brownian model
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of discrete-time option pricing by the mixed Brownian-fractional Brownian model with transaction costs was considered and a mean-self-financing delta hedging argument was used to obtain a European call option pricing formula.

Hedging options under transaction costs and stochastic volatility
TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic optimization model for hedging contingent claims was proposed, which takes into account the effects of stochastically volatility, transaction costs and trading restrictions, and simulation results show that their approach could improve performance considerably compared to traditional hedging strategies.

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities
Fischer Black,Myron S. Scholes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.

An introduction to probability theory and its applications - 3/E. volume 3
William Feller
- 22 Mar 2002
Abstract: The classic text for understanding complex statistical probability An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications offers comprehensive explanations to complex statistical problems. Delving deep into densities and distributions while relating critical formulas, processes and approaches, this rigorous text provides a solid grounding in probability with practice problems throughout. Heavy on application without sacrificing theory, the discussion takes the time to explain difficult topics and how to use them. This new second edition includes new material related to the substitution of probabilistic arguments for combinatorial artifices as well as new sections on branching processes, Markov chains, and the DeMoivreLaplace theorem.

The Valuation of Uncertain Income Streams and the Pricing of Options
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple formula for the valuation of uncertain income streams consistent with rational risk averse investor behavior and equilibrium in financial markets is developed for the pricing of an option as a function of its associated stock.
