Pricing Contingent Claims in a Two-Interest-Rate Multi-Dimensional Jump-Diffusion Model via Market Completion

Abstract

This paper investigates a financial market where asset prices follow a multi-dimensional Brownian motion process and a multi-dimensional Poisson process characterized by diverse credit and deposit rates where the credit rate is higher than the deposit rate. The focus extends to evaluating European options by establishing upper and lower hedging prices through a transition to a suitable auxiliary market. Introducing a lemma elucidates the same solution to the pricing problem in both markets under specific conditions. Additionally, we address the minimization of shortfall risk and determine no-arbitrage price bounds within the framework of incomplete markets. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges posed by the multi-dimensional jump-diffusion model and varying interest rates in financial markets.
