Abstract

In this paper, we give an overview of (nonlinear) pricing-hedging duality and of its connection with the theory of entropy martingale optimal transport (EMOT), recently developed, and that of convex risk measures. Similarly to Doldi and Frittelli (Finance Stoch 27(2):255–304, 2023), we here establish a duality result between a convex optimal transport and a utility maximization problem. Differently from Doldi and Frittelli (Finance Stoch 27(2):255–304, 2023), we provide here an alternative proof that is based on a compactness assumption. Subhedging and superhedging can be obtained as applications of the duality discussed above. Furthermore, we provide a dual representation of the generalized optimized certainty equivalent associated with indirect utility.
