Indifference valuation in incomplete binomial models
MathematicS In Action, Tome 3 (2010) no. 2, pp. 1-36.

The indifference valuation problem in incomplete binomial models is analyzed. The model is more general than the ones studied so far, because the stochastic factor, which generates the market incompleteness, may affect the transition propabilities and/or the values of the traded asset as well as the claim’s payoff. Two pricing algorithms are constructed which use, respectively, the minimal martingale and the minimal entropy measures. We study in detail the interplay among the different kinds of market incompleteness, the pricing measures and the price functionals. The dependence of the prices on the choice of the trading horizon is discussed. The family of “almost complete” (reduced) binomial models is also studied. It is shown that the two measures and the associated price functionals coincide, and that the effects of the horizon choice dissipate.
