Abstract

We derive a forward partial integro-differential equation for prices of call options in a model where the dynamics of the underlying asset under the pricing measure is described by a—possibly discontinuous—semimartingale. This result generalizes Dupire’s forward equation to a large class of non-Markovian models with jumps. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
