BSDEs, càdlàg martingale problems and mean-variance hedging under basis risk
Résumé
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new formalism for the deterministic analysis associated with backward stochastic differential equations driven by general càdlàg martingales. When the martingale is a standard Brownian motion, the natural deterministic analysis is provided by the solution of a semilinear PDE of parabolic type. A significant application concerns the hedging problem under basis risk of a contingent claim $g(X_T,S_T)$, where $S$ (resp. $X$) is an underlying price of a traded (resp. non-traded but observable) asset, via the celebrated Föllmer-Schweizer decomposition. We revisit the case when the couple of price processes $(X,S)$ is a diffusion and we provide explicit expressions when $(X,S)$ is an exponential of additive processes.
