Abstract

We investigate the possibility of statistical evaluation of the market\ncompleteness for discrete time stock market models. It is known that the market\ncompleteness is not a robust property: small random deviations of the\ncoefficients convert a complete market model into a incomplete one. The paper\nshows that market incompleteness is also non-robust. We show that, for any\nincomplete market from a wide class of discrete time models, there exists a\ncomplete market model with arbitrarily close stock prices. This means that\nincomplete markets are indistinguishable from the complete markets in the terms\nof the market statistics.\n
