Abstract

This chapter extends the hedging argument of option pricing developed for continuous diffusion processes previously to the situations when the underlying asset price is driven by the jump-diffusion stochastic differential equations. By constructing hedging portfolios and employing the capital asset pricing model, we provide an option pricing integro-partial differential equations and a general solution. We also examine alternative ways to construct the hedging portfolio and to price option when the jump sizes are fixed.
