Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Path-dependent derivatives are typically difficult to hedge. Traditional dynamic delta hedging does not perform well because of the difficulty to evaluate the Greeks and the high cost of constantly rebalancing. We propose to price and hedge path-dependent derivatives by constructing simplified alternatives that preserve certain distributional properties of their terminal payoffs, and that can be hedged by semi-static replication. The method is illustrated by a geometric Asian option and by a lookback option in the Black–Scholes setting, for which explicit forms of the simplified alternatives exist. Extensions to a Lévy market and to a Heston stochastic volatility model are discussed as well.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
