Abstract

In reality, markets are incomplete, meaning that some payoffs cannot be replicated by trading in marketed securities. The classic no-arbitrage theory of valuation in a complete market, based on the unique price of a self-financing replicating portfolio, is not adequate for nonreplicable payoffs in incomplete markets. We focus on pricing over-the-counter derivative securities, surveying many proposed methodologies, drawing relationships between them, and evaluating their promise.
