Abstract

We present a general financial market model defined by a liquidation value process. This approach generalizes the conic models of Schachermayer and Kabanov where the transaction costs are proportional to the exchanged volumes of traded assets. This allows to consider financial market models where proportional transaction costs and fixed costs coexist. In this case, the solvency set of all portfolio positions that can be liquidated without any debt is not necessary convex. Therefore, the usual duality principle based on the Hahn-Banach separation theorem is not appropriate to characterize the prices super hedging a contingent claim. We propose an alternative method to price European or American contingent claims under absence of arbitrage opportunity of the second kind.
