Abstract

The market price of risk is conceptually one of the most critical artifacts of modern finance, since it provides the linkage between equilibrium and arbitrage models of derivatives pricing. In this paper, the market price of risk is derived for options on live cattle futures contracts. It provides a technique to extract the implied market price of risk (iMPR), which is conceptually similar to that used in extracting implied volatilities. It is shown that the iMPR is not linear across strike prices as theory suggests it should. Le prix de marché du risque est conceptuellement l'un des artéfacts les plus importants de la finance moderne puisqu'il établit le lien entre les modèles d'équilibre et les modèles d'évaluation par arbitrage de l'établissement des prix des dérivés. Dans le présent article, le prix de marché du risque est dérivé pour les options sur contrats à terme de bovins vivants. Il offre une technique pour extraire le prix de marché implicite du risque qui est conceptuellement similaire à celle utilisée pour extraire les volatilités implicites. Il est montré que le prix de marché implicite du risque n'est pas linéaire pour tous les prix de levée comme la théorie semble l'indiquer.
