2 Law of One Price All replicating portfolios of a payoff have the same price! Debreu (1959), Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), Merton (1973a, 1973b), Ross (1976), Harrison & Kreps (1979), Cochrane (2001),... will be, in general, violated under the benchmark approach. c Copyright Eckhard Platen 08 Law Minimal Price 1
