Abstract: | In this paper, the authors develop an arbitrage-free option valuation model in the presence of transaction costs. The model considers the trade-off between the choice of lowering costs by trading less often and the choice of reducing the hedging errors by trading more often. This trade-off allows derivation of a trading interval policy. The authors illustrate the model with actual transactions data and offer a procedure for the estimation of a trading interval that minimizes hedging errors and transaction costs. |
