An Optimal Execution Problem with S-shaped Market Impact Functions

Takashi Kato

In this study, we extend the optimal execution problem with convex market impact function studied in Kato (2014) to the case where the market impact function is S-shaped, that is,…

An Optimal Execution Problem in the Volume-Dependent Almgren-Chriss Model

Takashi Kato

In this study, we introduce an explicit trading-volume process into the Almgren-Chriss model, which is a standard model for optimal execution. We propose a penalization method for…

Optimality of VWAP Execution Strategies under General Shaped Market Impact Functions

Takashi Kato

In this short note, we study an optimization problem of expected implementation shortfall (IS) cost under general shaped market impact functions. In particular, we find that an opt…

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of an Optimal Execution Problem with Uncertain Market Impact

Kensuke Ishitani, Takashi Kato

This paper is a continuation of Ishitani and Kato (2015), in which we derived a continuous-time value function corresponding to an optimal execution problem with uncertain market i…

VWAP Execution as an Optimal Strategy

Takashi Kato

The volume weighted average price (VWAP) execution strategy is well known and widely used in practice. In this study, we explicitly introduce a trading volume process into the Almg…

A One-Factor Conditionally Linear Commodity Pricing Model under Partial Information

Takashi Kato, Jun Sekine, Hiromitsu Yamamoto

A one-factor asset pricing model with an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process as its state variable is studied under partial information: the mean-reverting level and the mean-reverting spe…

Order Estimates for the Exact Lugannani-Rice Expansion

Takashi Kato, Jun Sekine, Kenichi Yoshikawa

The Lugannani-Rice formula is a saddlepoint approximation method for estimating the tail probability distribution function, which was originally studied for the sum of independent…

An Asymptotic Expansion Formula for Up-and-Out Barrier Option Price under Stochastic Volatility Model

Takashi Kato, Akihiko Takahashi, Toshihiro Yamada

This paper derives a new semi closed-form approximation formula for pricing an up-and-out barrier option under a certain type of stochastic volatility model including SABR model by…

Stock Price Fluctuations in an Agent-Based Model with Market Liquidity

Takashi Kato

We study an agent-based stock market model with heterogeneous agents and friction. Our model is based on that of Foellmer-Schweizer(1993): The process of a stock price in a discret…

Mathematical Formulation of an Optimal Execution Problem with Uncertain Market Impact

Kensuke Ishitani, Takashi Kato

We study an optimal execution problem with uncertain market impact to derive a more realistic market model. We construct a discrete-time model as a value function for optimal execu…

A Semi-group Expansion for Pricing Barrier Options

Takashi Kato, Akihiko Takahashi, Toshihiro Yamada

This paper presents a new asymptotic expansion method for pricing continuously monitoring barrier options. In particular, we develops a semi-group expansion scheme for the Cauchy-D…

An Optimal Execution Problem with a Geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Price Process

Takashi Kato

We study an optimal execution problem in the presence of market impact where the security price follows a geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, which implies the mean-reverting pro…

Theoretical Sensitivity Analysis for Quantitative Operational Risk Management

Takashi Kato

We study the asymptotic behavior of the difference between the values at risk VaR(L) and VaR(L+S) for heavy tailed random variables L and S for application in sensitivity analysis…

An Optimal Execution Problem with Market Impact

Takashi Kato

We study an optimal execution problem in a continuous-time market model that considers market impact. We formulate the problem as a stochastic control problem and investigate prope…
