Arbitrage Pricing Theory

12 Maio 2026, 19:00 Fernando Correia da Silva


Arbitrage Pricing Theory (continued):

- State prices as the dual representation of no-arbitrage pricing.

- Recovery and interpretation of state prices from observed asset prices.

- Equivalence between replication pricing and state-price pricing for attainable payoffs.

- Risk-neutral probabilities obtained by normalising state prices through the risk-free asset.

- Risk-neutral valuation as discounted expected payoff under the risk-neutral measure.

- Extension to dynamic markets through the binomial model and option pricing by backward induction.

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT):

- Introduction to no-arbitrage pricing as an alternative to preference-based and equilibrium-based approaches.

- One-period market setup with traded securities, observed prices, and state-contingent payoffs.

- Matrix representation of payoffs, portfolios, and replication.

- Attainability, market completeness, redundancy, and arbitrage-free pricing.

- Pricing by replication: a replicable payoff must have the same price as the traded portfolio that reproduces it state by state.
