The Ratio between Theoretical and Real Futures Prices for the Shares Delivery
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of relation of the theoretical price of the futures on the shares delivery obtained under the assumption of equivalence of futures and forward prices at the perfect market, from one side, and the price range at the real market, within which arbitrage is not possible, from another side. Formulas estimating position and width of the arbitration corridor are obtained. It is shown that the theoretical futures price is usually located above the upper boundary of the arbitration corridor. The degree of influence of the arbitrage transactions, into the framework of proposed model, onto prices formation at the shares delivery futures market is discussed.
