Liquidity risk and no arbitrageEl Ghandour, Laila 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In modern theory of finance, the so-called First and Second Fundamental Theorems of Asset
Pricing play an important role in pricing options with no-arbitrage. These theorems gives a
necessary and sufficient conditions for a market to have no-arbitrage and for a market to be
complete. An early version of the First Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing was proven
by Harrison and Kreps [30] in the case of a finite probability space. A more general version
was proven by Harrison and Pliska [31] in the case of a finite probability space and discrete
time. In the case of continuous time, Delbaen and Schachermayer [19] introduced a more
general concept of no-arbitrage called "No-Free Lunch With Vanishing Risk" (NFLVR),
and showed that for a locally-bounded semimartingale price process NFLVR is essentially
equivalent to the existence of an equivalent local martingale measure.
The goal of this thesis is to review the theory of arbitrage pricing and the extension of
this theory to include liquidity risk. At the current time, liquidity risk is a key challenge
faced by investors. Consequently there is a need to develop more realistic pricing models
that include liquidity risk. We present an approach to liquidity risk by Çetin, Jarrow and
Protter [10]. In to this approach the liquidity risk is embedded into the classical theory
of arbitrage pricing by having investors act as price takers, and assuming the existence
of a supply curve where prices depend on trade size. This framework assumes that the
quantity impact on the price transacted is momentary. Using trading strategies that are
both continuous and of finite variation allows one to avoid liquidity costs. Therefore, the
First and Second Fundamental Theorems of Asset Pricing and the Black-Scholes model
can be extended. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In moderne finansiële teorie speel die sogenaamde Eerste en Tweede Fundamentele Stellings
van Bateprysbepaling ’n belangrike rol in die prysbepaling van opsies in arbitrage-vrye
markte. Hierdie stellings gee nodig en voldoende voorwaardes vir ’n mark om vry van
arbitrage te wees, en om volledig te wees. ’n Vroeë weergawe van die Eerste Fundamentele
Stelling was deur Harrison en Kreps [30] bewys in die geval van ’n eindige waarskynlikheidsruimte.
’n Meer algemene weergawe was daarna gepubliseer deur Harrison en Pliska
[31] in die geval van ’n eindige waarskynlikheidsruimte en diskrete tyd. In die geval van
kontinue tyd het Delbaen en Schachermayer [19] ’n meer algemene konsep van arbitragevryheid
ingelei, naamlik “No–Free–Lunch–With–Vanishing–Risk" (NFLVR), en aangetoon dat
vir lokaalbegrensde semimartingaalprysprosesse NFLVR min of meer ekwivalent is aan die
bestaan van ’n lokaal martingaalmaat.
Die doel van hierdie tesis is om ’n oorsig te gee van beide klassieke arbitrageprysteorie,
en ’n uitbreiding daarvan wat likideit in ag neem. Hedendaags is likiditeitsrisiko ’n
vooraanstaande uitdaging wat beleggers die hoof moet bied. Gevolglik is dit noodsaaklik
om meer realistiese modelle van prysbepaling wat ook likiditeitsrisiko insluit te ontwikkel.
Ons bespreek die benadering van Çetin, Jarrow en Protter [10], waar likiditeitsrisiko in
die klassieke arbitrageprysteorie ingesluit word deur die bestaan van ’n aanbodkromme
aan te neem, waar pryse afhanklik is van handelsgrootte. In hierdie raamwerk word aangeneem
dat die impak op die transaksieprys slegs tydelik is. Deur gebruik te maak van
handelingsstrategië wat beide kontinu en van eindige variasie is, is dit dan moontlik om
likiditeitskoste te vermy. Die Eerste en Tweede Fundamentele Stellings van Bateprysbepaling
en die Black–Scholes model kan dus uitgebrei word om likiditeitsrisiko in te sluit.

Blackovy-Scholesovy modely oceňování opcí / Black-Scholes models of option pricingČekal, Martin January 2013 (has links)
Title: Black-Scholes Models of Option Pricing Author: Martin Cekal Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Bohdan Maslowski, DrSc., Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics. Abstract: In the present master thesis we study a generalization of Black-Scholes model using fractional Brownian motion and jump processes. The main goal is a derivation of the price of call option in a fractional jump market model. The first chapter introduces long memory and its modelling by discrete and continuous time models. In the second chapter fractional Brownian motion is defined, appropriate stochastic analysis is developed and we generalize the notion of Lévy and jump processes. The third chapter introduces fractional Black-Scholes model. In the fourth chapter, tools developed in the second chapter are used for the construction of jump fractional Black-Scholes model and derivation of explicit formula for the price of european call option. In the fifth chapter, we analyze long memory contained in simulated and empirical time series. Keywords: Black-Scholes model, fractional Brownian motion, fractional jump process, long- memory, options pricing.

Cena volatility finančních proměnných / Price of Volatility of Financials AssetsGříšek, Lukáš January 2011 (has links)
This diploma thesis describes problem of change-points in volatility of the time-series and their impact on price of nancial assets. Those change-points are estimated by using statistical methods and tests. Change-point estimation was tested on simulated datas and real world driven datas. Simulation helped to discover signi cant characteristics of change-point test, those data were simulated with using stochastic calculus. Google share prices and prices of call options were chosen to analyse impact of volatility change on those prices. Also implied volatility and its impact to call option price was analysed.

Hodnocení finančních derivátů / Valuation of financial derivativesMatušková, Radka January 2012 (has links)
In the present thesis we deal with several possible approaches to financial de- rivatives pricing. In the first part, we introduce the basic types of derivatives and the methods of trading. Furthermore, we present several models for the valuati- on of specific financial derivative, i.e. options. Firstly we describe Black-Scholes model in detail, which considers that the development of the underlying asset price is governed by Wiener process. Following are the jumps diffusion models that are extension of the Black-Scholes model with jumps. Then we get to jump models, which are based on Lévy processes. Finally, we will deal with the model, which considers that the development of the underlying asset price is governed by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst's coefficient greater than 1/2. All models are suplemented with sample examples. 1

A Switching Black-Scholes Model and Option PricingWebb, Melanie Ann January 2003 (has links)
Derivative pricing, and in particular the pricing of options, is an important area of current research in financial mathematics. Experts debate on the best method of pricing and the most appropriate model of a price process to use. In this thesis, a ``Switching Black-Scholes'' model of a price process is proposed. This model is based on the standard geometric Brownian motion (or Black-Scholes) model of a price process. However, the drift and volatility parameters are permitted to vary between a finite number of possible values at known times, according to the state of a hidden Markov chain. This type of model has been found to replicate the Black-Scholes implied volatility smiles observed in the market, and produce option prices which are closer to market values than those obtained from the traditional Black-Scholes formula. As the Markov chain incorporates a second source of uncertainty into the Black-Scholes model, the Switching Black-Scholes market is incomplete, and no unique option pricing methodology exists. In this thesis, we apply the methods of mean-variance hedging, Esscher transforms and minimum entropy in order to price options on assets which evolve according to the Switching Black-Scholes model. C programs to compute these prices are given, and some particular numerical examples are examined. Finally, filtering techniques and reference probability methods are applied to find estimates of the model parameters and state of the hidden Markov chain. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Applied Mathematics, 2003.

Marchés financiers avec une infinité d'actifs, couverture quadratique et délits d'initiésCampi, Luciano 18 December 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Cette thèse consiste en une série d'applications du calcul stochastique aux mathématiques financières. Elle est composée de quatre chapitres. Dans le premier on étudie le rapport entre la complétude du marché et l'extrémalité des mesures martingales equivalentes dans le cas d'une infinité d'actifs. Dans le deuxième on trouve des conditions équivalentes à l'existence et unicité d'une mesure martingale equivalente sous la quelle le processus des prix suit des lois n-dimensionnelles données à n fixe. Dans le troisième on étend à un marché admettant une infinité dénombrable d'actifs une charactérisation de la stratégie de couverture optimale (pour le critère moyenne-variance) basé sur une technique de changement de numéraire et extension artificielle. Enfin, dans le quatrième on s'occupe du problème de couverture d'un actif contingent dans un marché avec information asymetrique.

Warrantvärdering : En jämförelse mellan Monte-Carlo och Black-ScholesRyhed, Erik, Thornadsson, Per, Holm, Gunnar January 2006 (has links)
<p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att med tre GARCH-modeller skatta volatiliteten för fjorton aktier med t- och normalfördelade slumptermer. Dessa volatiliteter implementeras sedan i Black-Scholes modell samt i Monte-Carlo simuleringar och utfallen av dessa två värderingsmetoder jämförs.</p><p>Författarna har kommit fram till att GARCH-modeller behövs för att skatta volatiliteten för de aktier som ingår i arbetet då modellerna tar hänsyn till den föreliggande heteroskedasticiteten.</p><p>De skillnader som uppstår mellan Monte-Carlo simuleringar och Black-Scholes modell beror främst på skillnader mellan normal- och t-fördelningen samt att volatiliteten ger större effekt i Monte-Carlo simuleringarna. Författarna kan inte uttala sig om huruvida Monte-Carlo skattningarna ger bättre resultat än den vedertagna Black-Scholes modell, däremot är Monte-Carlo mer teoretiskt korrekt.</p>

Stochastic Volatility Models for Contingent Claim Pricing and Hedging.Manzini, Muzi Charles. January 2008 (has links)
<p>The present mini-thesis seeks to explore and investigate the mathematical theory and concepts that underpins the valuation of derivative securities, particularly European plainvanilla options. The main argument that we emphasise is that novel models of option pricing, as is suggested by Hull and White (1987) [1] and others, must account for the discrepancy observed on the implied volatility &ldquo / smile&rdquo / curve. To achieve this we also propose that market volatility be modeled as random or stochastic as opposed to certain standard option pricing models such as Black-Scholes, in which volatility is assumed to be constant.</p>

Numerical singular perturbation approaches based on spline approximation methods for solving problems in computational financeKhabir, Mohmed Hassan Mohmed January 2011 (has links)
Options are a special type of derivative securities because their values are derived from the value of some underlying security. Most options can be grouped into either of the two categories: European options which can be exercised only on the expiration date, and American options which can be exercised on or before the expiration date. American options are much harder to deal with than European ones. The reason being the optimal exercise policy of these options which led to free boundary problems. Ever since the seminal work of Black and Scholes [J. Pol. Econ. 81(3) (1973), 637-659], the differential equation approach in pricing options has attracted many researchers. Recently, numerical singular perturbation techniques have been used extensively for solving many differential equation models of sciences and engineering. In this thesis, we explore some of those methods which are based on spline approximations to solve the option pricing problems. We show a systematic construction and analysis of these methods to solve some European option problems and then extend the approach to solve problems of pricing American options as well as some exotic options. Proposed methods are analyzed for stability and convergence. Thorough numerical results are presented and compared with those seen in the literature.
