An Integral Equation Approach for the Valuation of Finite-maturity margin-call Stock Loans
This paper examines the pricing issue of margin-call stock loans with finite maturities under the Black-Scholes-Merton framework. In particular, using a Fourier Sine transform method, we reduce the partial differential equation governing the price of a margin-call stock loan into an ordinary differential equation, the solution of which can be easily found (in the Fourier Sine space) and analytically inverted into the original space. As a result, we obtain an integral representation of the value of the stock loan in terms of the unknown optimal exit prices, which are, in turn, governed by a Volterra integral equation. We thus can break the pricing problem of margin-call stock loans into two steps: 1) finding the optimal exit prices by solving numerically the governing Volterra integral equation and 2) calculating the values of margin-call stock loans based on the obtained optimal exit prices. By validating and comparing with other available numerical methods, we show that our proposed numerical scheme offers a reliable and efficient way to calculate the service fee of a margin-call stock loan contract, track the contract value over time, and compute the level of stock price above which it is optimal to exit the contract. The effects of the margin-call feature on the loan contract are also examined and quantified.

Closed form optimal exercise boundary of the American put option
We present three models of stock price with time-dependent interest rate, dividend yield, and volatility, respectively, that allow for explicit forms of the optimal exercise boundary of the finite maturity American put o…
FormThe American put with finite-time maturity and stochastic interest rate
In this paper we study pricing of American put options on the Black and Scholes market with a stochastic interest rate and finite-time maturity. We prove that the option value is a $C^1$ function of the initial time, int…
Proof of non-convergence of the short-maturity expansion for the SABR model
We study the convergence properties of the short maturity expansion of option prices in the uncorrelated log-normal ($\beta=1$) SABR model. In this model the option time-value can be represented as an integral of the for…
Predictable Forward Performance Processes in Complete Markets
We establish existence of Predictable Forward Performance Processes (PFPPs) in complete markets, which has been previously shown only in the binomial setting. Our market model can be a discrete-time or a continuous-time …
