that is, the neutral pricing measure minimizes the maximum possible expected utility that an<br />

investor can g<strong>et</strong> in a compl<strong>et</strong>ed mark<strong>et</strong>, over all possible arbitrage-free compl<strong>et</strong>ions. The notion<br />

of neutral pricing measure thus coinci<strong>de</strong>s with the minimax measures studied in [16], [49] and<br />

other papers.<br />

2.3.2 Calibration via relative <strong>en</strong>tropy minimization<br />

Despite its analytic tractability and interesting economic interpr<strong>et</strong>ation, the MEMM has an important<br />

drawback which makes it impossible to use for pricing in real mark<strong>et</strong>s: it does not take<br />

into account the information obtained from prices of tra<strong>de</strong>d options. To tackle this problem, Goll<br />

and Rüsch<strong>en</strong>dorf [48] introduced the notion of minimal distance martingale measure consist<strong>en</strong>t<br />

with observed mark<strong>et</strong> prices. In particular, giv<strong>en</strong> prices of call options {C M (T i , K i )} N i=1 , a probability<br />

measure Q ∗ ∈ M is called consist<strong>en</strong>t minimal <strong>en</strong>tropy martingale measure (CMEMM)<br />

if<br />

I(Q ∗ |P ) = min I(Q|P ),<br />

Q<br />

where the minimum is tak<strong>en</strong> over all martingale measures Q such that C M (T i , K i ) = C Q (T i , K i )<br />

for i = 1, . . . , N.<br />

Kalls<strong>en</strong> [58] shows that consist<strong>en</strong>t minimal distance martingale measures correspond to<br />

constant <strong>de</strong>mand <strong>de</strong>rivative pricing (wh<strong>en</strong> the optimal portfolio must contain not zero but<br />

a fixed amount of each tra<strong>de</strong>d <strong>de</strong>rivative), thus providing an economic rationale for distance<br />

minimization un<strong>de</strong>r constraints, and, in particular, for <strong>en</strong>tropy minimization.<br />

A drawback of CMEMM is that it may be very difficult to compute numerically. In particular,<br />

if X is a Lévy process un<strong>de</strong>r the historical measure P , it will in g<strong>en</strong>eral no longer be
