European Option Pricing with Transaction Costs in Lévy Jump Environment

Abstract EN

The European option pricing problem with transaction costs is investigated for a risky asset price model with Lévy jump.

By the aid of arbitrage pricing theory and the generalized Itô formula (which includes Poisson jump), the explicit solution to the risk asset price model is given.

According to arbitrage-free principle, we first discretize the continuous-time model.

Then, in each small time interval, the transaction costs are introduced.

By using the Δ -hedging strategy, the explicit solutions of the European options pricing formula with transaction costs are given for the risky asset price model with Lévy jump.
