Abstract

We show that the left-monotone martingale coupling is optimal for any given performance function satisfying the martingale version of the Spence–Mirrlees condition, without assuming additional structural conditions on the marginals. We also give a new interpretation of the left monotone coupling in terms of Skorokhod embedding which allows us to give a short proof of uniqueness.
