  1. 1. Essays on Lookback and Barrier Options - A Malliavin Calculus Approach

    Författare :Hans-Peter Bermin; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Girsanov transformations.; lookback options; Contingent claims; barrier options; hedging; pricing; arbitrage; complete markets; self-financing portfolios; Black-Scholes formula; Clark-Ocone formula; Malliavin calculus; Financial science; Finansiering;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four theoretical essays on contingent claim analysis and its connection to Malliavin calculus. The first three papers are analyzed in the famous Black and Scholes model, while the setup of the fourth paper involves an international environment and the presence of exchange rates. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Some Extensions of Fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Model : Arbitrage and Other Applications

    Författare :José Igor Morlanes; Andriy Andreev; Hans Nyquist; Henrik Hult; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process; insider information; simulation embedding method; jump times; least-squares estimator; likelihood process; Ito calculus; Malliavin calculus; stochastic calculus; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis endeavors to extend probability and statistical models using stochastic differential equations. The described models capture essential features from data that are not explained by classical diffusion models driven by Brownian motion.New results obtained by the author are presented in five articles.

  4. 3. On weak convergence, Malliavin calculus and Kolmogorov equations in infinite dimensions

    Författare :Adam Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic evolution equations; stochastic Volterra equations; weak approximation; Kolmogorov equations in infinite dimensions; Malliavin calculus; finite element method; backward Euler method; Kolmogorov equations in infinite dimensions;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused around weak convergence analysis of approximations of stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert space. This is a class of problems, which is sufficiently challenging to motivate new theoretical developments in stochastic analysis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Numerical Complexity Analysis of Weak Approximation of Stochastic Differential Equations

    Författare :Raul Tempone Olariaga; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adaptive methods; a posteriori error estimates; stochastic differential equations; weak approximation; Monte Carlo methods; Malliavin Calculus; HJM model; option price; bond market; stochastic elliptic equation; Karhunen-Loeve expansion; numerical co; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis consists of four papers on numerical complexityanalysis of weak approximation of ordinary and partialstochastic differential equations, including illustrativenumerical examples. Here by numerical complexity we mean thecomputational work needed by a numerical method to solve aproblem with a given accuracy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Analytical Approximation of Contingent Claims

    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
