Robust Static Super-Replication of Barrier Options

Static hedge portfolios for barrier options are very sensitive with respect to changes of the volatility surface. To prevent potentially significant hedging losses this book develops a static super-replication strategy with market-typical robustness against volatility, skew and liquidity risk as well as model errors. Combined with associated sub-replication strategies this leads to empirically robust price bounds for barrier options which are also relevant in the context of dynamic hedging.
