In this study, we consider a minimum-variance hedging problem in an incomplete market, in which the risky asset is driven by the process based on non-extensive statistical mechanics and Poisson jumps. Using the stochastic control theory and backward stochastic differential equation method, we obtain a closed-form solution for the minimum-variance hedging policy.
In this study, we consider the optimal portfolio selection problem with a value-at-risk constraint in the non-extensive statistical mechanics framework. We propose a portfolio selection model, which is suitable not only for normal return distributions, but also for non-normal return distributions. Using Chinese stock data, under the normal and q-Gaussian return distributions, we provide empirical results. The results indicate that portfolio selections under the q-Gaussian return distributions are considerably different from those under the normal return distributions. Moreover, by using the q-Gaussian distribution, the underestimated portfolio risk can be effectively avoided.
