Cooperative hedging in incomplete markets

The problem of (partial) hedging contingent claims for a single agent is well studied. This paper studies the problem for the multiagent case in incomplete markets. For this case, a cooperative hedging game is posed as follows: First, all agents contribute some money and collect the money together as the initial total capital, then invest the initial total capital in a trading strategy, and, finally, divide the terminal wealth of the trading strategy and each of them gets a part. We give a characterization of the optimal cooperative hedging strategy and prove that the core of the cooperative hedging game. as a cooperative game with side payment, is nonempty.
