Abstract

In a recent paper John Hull and Alan White have argued that funding cost adjustments should not be included in derivatives pricing, which has triggered a heated debate. Their arguments share some ideas that we have published previously and the purpose of this note is intended to help clarify some of the debate, relate the note of Hull and White to our previous papers on the topic and connect some theoretical lines of argument with some practical considerations.
