英文摘要:
Short sales are regarded as negative purchases in textbook asset pricing theory. In reality, however, the symmetry between purchases and short sales is broken by a variety of costs and risks peculiar to the latter. We formulate an optimal stopping model in which the decision to cover a short position is affected by two short sale-specific frictions---margin risk and recall risk. Margin risk refers to the fact that short sales are collateralised transactions, which means that short sellers may be forced to close out their positions involuntarily if they cannot fund margin calls. Recall risk refers to a peculiarity of the stock lending market, which permits lenders to recall borrowed stock at any time, once again triggering involuntary close-outs. We examine the effect of these frictions on the optimal close-out strategy and quantify the loss of value resulting from each. Our results show that realistic short selling constraints have a dramatic impact on the optimal behaviour of a short seller, and are responsible for a substantial loss of value relative to the first-best situation without them. This has implications for many familiar no-arbitrage identities, which are predicated on the assumption of unfettered short selling.

中文摘要:
在教科书中的资产定价理论中,卖空被视为负买入。然而,在现实中,买入和卖空之间的对称性被后者特有的各种成本和风险所打破。我们建立了一个最优止损模型,在该模型中,弥补空头头寸的决策受到两个特定于卖空的摩擦——保证金风险和召回风险的影响。保证金风险是指卖空交易是抵押交易,这意味着卖空者如果不能为追加保证金提供资金,可能会被迫非自愿平仓。召回风险是指股票借贷市场的一个特点,允许贷款人随时召回借入的股票,再次引发非自愿停业。我们研究了这些摩擦对最优收尾策略的影响,并量化了每种摩擦造成的价值损失。我们的研究结果表明,现实的卖空约束对卖空者的最优行为有着巨大的影响,并导致相对于没有卖空约束的第一个最佳情况的价值损失。这对许多熟悉的无套利身份都有影响,这些身份是基于无约束卖空的假设。
