Abstract

We consider the super-hedging price of an American option in a discrete-time market in which stocks are available for dynamic trading and European options are available for static trading. We show that the super-hedging price π is given by the supremum over the prices of the American option under randomized models. That is, π =sup(ci,Qi)i∑iciϕQi, where ci ∈ ℝ+ and the martingale measure Qi are chosen such that ∑ici = 1 and ∑iciQi prices the European options correctly, and ϕQi is the price of the American option under the model Qi. Our result generalizes the example given in Hobson & Neuberger (2016) that the highest model-based price can be considered as a randomization over models.
