   Författare :Karl Larsson; Claus Munk; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Option pricing; approximation; stochastic volatility; implied volatility; perturbation; Malliavin calculus; commodities; swaption; swap; HJM model;

   Sammanfattning : This PhD thesis consists of three separate papers. The common theme is methods to calculate analytical approximations for prices of different contingent claims under various model assumptions. The first two papers deals with approximations of standard European options in stochastic volatility models. LÄS MER

4. 3. Manufacturing capabilities : expendable commodities or catalysts for effective supply chain management

5. 4. Pricing of Some Path-Dependent Options on Equities and Commodities

   Författare :Mats Kjaer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cliquet options with global floor; Commodity swing options; Storage valuation; Correlation matrix modelling; Bachelier-Samuelson model; Jump-diffusion models; Futures curve models; Parabolic PDE PIDEs; Numerical integration; Finite difference methods.;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis brings together three papers about the pricing of European and Bermudan path-dependent options, and one paper about the stochastic modelling of a futures price curve. Paper one proposes a fast numerical method to compute the price of so called cliquet options with global floor, when the underlying asset follows the Bachelier-Samuelson model. LÄS MER

7. 5. Evaluation of supply chains and post-harvest losses of selected food commodities in Ethiopia

   Författare :Tadesse Kenea Amentae; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Supply chain management practices and losses in food value chains of three major food commodities in Ethiopia (milk, teff and warqe or enset) were evaluated in this thesis. Teff is a cereal, while warqe is a perennial plant from which the food products kocho and bulla are extracted. Teff, kocho and bulla are staple foods for many Ethiopians. LÄS MER
