Mathematical Statistics: Valuation of Derivative Assets
Programme overview
- Master level course, Part time 50%
- Code: MASM24
- 7.5 credits
- Lund Campus
- Study period: 02 Sep 2013 – 25 Oct 2013
The course consists of two related parts. In the first part we will look at option theory in discrete time. The purpose is to quickly introduce fundamental concepts of financial markets such as free of arbitrage and completeness as well as martingales and martingale measures. We will use tree structures to model time dynamics of stock prices and information flows.
In the second part we will study models formulated in continuous time. The models we focus on are formulated as stochastic differential equations (SDE:s). The theories behind Brownian motion, stochastic integrals, Ito-'s formula, measures changes and numeraires are presented and applied to option theory both for the stock and the interest rate markets. We derive e.g. the Black-Scholes formula and how to create a replicating portfolio for a derivative contract.
