Full textThis paper aims to derive the Black-Scholes equation for readers without advanced knowledge in finance and mathematics. To succeed, this paper contains a theoretical chapter in which concepts such as options, interest rate, differential equations and stochastic variable are explained. This paper also presents the theory of stochastic processes such as the Wiener process and Ito process. In the chapter on the Black-Scholes model the Ito process is used to describe price of shares and with the help of Ito's lemma Black-Scholes equation can be derived. In the paper, assumptions are listed that apply to the Black-Scholes model and then uses the Black-Scholes equation to calculate the price of a European call option. Finally, exotic options are described and also how options can be used to reduce risks.
Uppsatsens mål är att härleda Black-Scholes ekvation för läsare utan avancerade kunskaper inom finansiering och matematik. För att lyckas med detta innehåller uppsatsen ett teorikapitel där begrepp så som optioner, ränta, differentialekvation och stokastisk variabel förklaras. Där presenteras även teorier för stokastiska processer så som Wienerprocessen och Itoprocessen. I kapitlet om Black-Scholes modell används Itoprocessen för att beskriva aktiepriset och med hjälp av Itos lemma härleds Black-Scholes ekvation. Uppsatsen ställer upp antaganden som gäller för Black-Scholes modell och använder sedan Black-Scholes ekvation för att beräkna priset på en europeisk köpoption. Avslutningsvis beskrivs exotiska optioner samt hur optioner kan användas för att reducera risker.

Full textIn this paper, I consider alternative models to the one posited by Black and Scholes. I consider discontinuous security price movements, non-constant volatility, and models very different from the Black-Scholes model. I found that most of the model prices for the close to at-the-money options are very different from the market prices. In general, the models did poorly in producing similar prices as the market.

Full textOs problemas de apreçamento de opções têm sido um dos principais assuntos de em Matemática Financeira, desde a criação desse conceito nos anos 70. Mais especificamente, as opções americanas são de grande interesse nesta área do conhecimento porque são matematicamente muito mais complexas do que as opções europeias padrão e o modelo de Black-Scholes não fornece, na maioria dos casos, uma fórmula explícita para a determinação do preço deste tipo de opções. Nesta dissertação, mostramos como o estudo de opções americanas conduz à análise de problemas de fronteira livre devido à possibilidade de exercício antecipado, onde nosso principal objetivo é encontrar o preço de exercício ótimo. Também apresentamos a reformulação do problema em termos de um problema de complementaridade linear e de desigualdade variacional parabólica. Além disso, também abordamos a caracterização probabilística das opções americanas com base no conceito de tempos de paragem ótima. Essas formulações, aqui tratadas em termos analíticos ou probabilísticos, podem ser muito úteis na aplicação de métodos numéricos ao problema de precificação de opções do estilo americano, uma vez que, na maioria dos casos, é quase impossível encontrar soluções explícitas. Além disso, utilizamos o Método da Árvore Binomial, que é um método numérico muito simples do ponto de vista matemático, para ilustrar alguns aspectos da teoria estudada ao longo desta tese e para comparar as opções americanas com as opções europeias e bermudas, por meio de alguns exemplos numéricos.
Option pricing problems have been one of the main focuses in the field of Mathematical Finance since the creation of this concept in the 1970s. More specifically, American options are of great interest in this area of knowledge because they are much more complex mathematically than the standard European options and the Black-Scholes model cannot give an explicit formula to value this style options in most cases. In this dissertation, we show how pricing American options leads to free boundary problems because of the possibility of early exercise, where our main goal is to find the optimal exercise price. We also present how to reformulate the problem into a linear complementarity problem and a parabolic variational inequality. Moreover, we also address the probabilistic characterization of American options based on the concept of stopping times. These formulations, here viewed from the analytical and probabilistic point of view, can be very useful for applying numerical methods to the problem of pricing American style options since, in most cases, it is almost impossible to find explicit solutions. Furthermore, we use the Binomial Tree Method, which is a very simple numerical method from the mathematical point of view, to illustrate some aspects of the theory studied throughout this thesis and to compare American options with European and Bermudan Options, by means of a few numerical examples.

In financial mathematics, asset prices for European options are often modeled according to the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model, a stochastic differential equation (SDE) depending on unknown parameters. A derivation of the solution to this SDE is reviewed, resulting in a stochastic process called geometric Brownian motion (GBM) which depends on two unknown real parameters referred to as the drift and volatility. For additional insight, the BSM equation is expressed as a heat equation, which is a partial differential equation (PDE) with well-known properties. For American options, it is established that asset value can be characterized as the solution to an obstacle problem, which is an example of a free boundary PDE problem. One approach for estimating the parameters in the GBM solution to the BSM model can be based on the method of maximum likelihood. This approach is discussed and applied to a dataset involving the weekly closing prices for the Dow Jones Industrial Average between January 2012 and December 2012.

Full textImpulses describe the evolution of systems where the continuous development of a process is interrupted by abrupt changes of state. Financial markets are subject to extreme events or shocks as government changes, companies colapse, etc. Thus it seems natural to consider the action of these events in the valuation of derivative securities. The aim of this work is to obtain a formulation for the Black-Scholes equation with impulse action where the impulses can represent these shocks. We use the non-absolute integration theory in functional spaces to obtain such formulation

Full textSyftet 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.
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.
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.

Full textConventional partial differential equations under the classical Black-Scholes approach have been extensively explored over the past few decades in solving option pricing problems. However, the underlying Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) of classical economic theory neglects the effects of memory in asset return series, though memory has long been observed in a number financial data. With advancements in computational methodologies, it has now become possible to model different real life physical phenomenons using complex approaches such as, fractional differential equations (FDEs). Fractional models are generalised models which based on literature have been found appropriate for explaining memory effects observed in a number of financial markets including the stock market. The use of fractional model has thus recently taken over the context of academic literatures and debates on financial modelling.

Dicho modelo sirve para estimar el valor de las acciones a tiempo futuro, tanto en compra como venta, resolviendo una igualdad que sigue un movimiento browniano. Se busca resolver la ecuación en derivadas parciales de Black-Scholes, reduciéndola a través de un cambio de variables a la forma de una ecuación de calor la cual facilitará su desarrollo. Se pasará a resolver dicha ecuación usando transformada de Fourier obteniendo así su solución. Por último, la solución de la ecuación podrá pasar a ser estudiada y aplicada en un caso real en el cual se podría escoger cualquier acción que cotice la bolsa de valores como activo. Una vez resuelta la ecuación se plantearan formas en las cuales se pueden aplicar en la acciones de las principales empresas que coticen en Perú y a través de estos datos se calcularan los valores para la call europea. Se concluirá teniendo en cuenta el beneficio que nos otorga el modelo en la predicción de estas opciones, y que tan preciso es. A su vez se encontrará sus posibles aplicaciones y usos en la bolsa de valores.

Full textI denna uppsats undersöks hur väl det går att värdera marknadsvärdet av företagets aktiekapital med hjälp av en modifierad Black-Scholes köpoptionsmodell. Tidigare undersökningar har gjorts bland annat i USA där man gjorde en studie på S & P100 och fick starka indikationer på att modellen väl förklarar marknadsvärdet av aktiekapitalet. Denna uppsats följer metoden som användes vid studien på S & P100 för att se om den även ger en hög förklaringsgrad på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Undersökningen genomförs med hjälp av redovisningsdata från samtliga bolag listade på A-listan vid Stockholmsbörsen. Redovisningsdata används för att få fram de variabler som används i den Black-Scholes modell som modifierats från att värdera köpoptioner på aktier till att värdera marknadsvärdet av företags aktiekapital. Dessutom undersöks vilken förklaringsgrad de variabler som används i den modifierade Black-Scholes modellen har på P/e-värdet för företagens aktier. Resultaten från undersökning med den modifierade Black-Scholes modellen visar att den ger en bra estimering för företags totala aktiekapital. Dessutom visar resultaten att undersökningen av variablernas förklaringsgrad på P/e värdet har ett signifikant värde för vissa av variablerna.

Full textEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la capacidad predictiva del modelo desarrollado por Black y Scholes. Para este propósito se testeó la capacidad de diversos modelos autoregresivos, además de un modelo multivariable y otro ingenuo. Las conclusiones se detallan a nivel de acción, modelo, sector y vencimiento. El modelo que obtuvo los mejores resultados a nivel promedio fue el Arima recursivo seguido por el Arima rolling. Durante el desarrollo del trabajo surgieron objetivos secundarios, uno de estos fue verificar si realmente el mercado sigue o no a B and S. Para esto se compararon los precios calculados por la fórmula con los precios observados en el mercado y se encontró que en un 95% de los casos, el mercado transó los activos a un precio superior al arrojado por la formula. Por esto no somos capaces de afirmar si el mercado sigue o no a B and S, pero es muy probable que su valor sea tomado en cuenta pero complementado por otras variables que el modelo no considera, como podrían ser las expectativas, el valor de la cobertura por riesgo, o la estabilidad económica y política del país. Por último buscamos un modelo que tuviera resultados probados para una determinada acción y encontramos que el modelo multivariado con las variables Dow (-1), Dow (-4), Dow (-5), Nasdaq (-1), Klac (-1), Klac (-2) y Error (-2) es el que había arrojado la mejor predicción para la acción Klac el mes anterior. Entonces aplicamos los modelos anteriores en conjunto con este a Klac y comparamos los resultados. La idea fue comprobar si es que modelos que fueron precisos en un pasado cercano, lo siguen siendo con el transcurso del tiempo. Los nuevos resultados indicaron que a medida que pasa el tiempo y cambian las condiciones económicas del mercado, los modelos pierden precisión. Finalmente el modelo con mejores resultados fue el modelo Multivariado rolling. Corroboramos que el mercado es complejo, dinámico y que aprende. En ocasiones modelos tan simples como el ingenuo obtuvieron mejores resultados que los modelos más complejos, lo que indica que hay cuotas de azar, expectativas y otros factores aleatorios que hacen muy difícil predecir el comportamiento del mercado y superar su rendimiento.

Full textAmong the central concerns in mathematical finance is the evaluation of American options. An American option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell a certain financial asset within a certain time-frame, for a certain strike price. The valuation of American options is formulated as an optimal stopping problem. If the stock price is modelled by a geometric Brownian motion, the value of an American option is given by a deterministic parabolic free boundary value problem (FBVP) or equivalently a non-symmetric variational inequality (VI) on weighted Sobolev spaces on R. To apply standard numerical methods, the unbounded domain R is truncated to a bounded one. Applying the Fourier transform to the FBVP yields an integral representation of the solution including the free boundary explicitely. This integral representation allows to prove explicit truncation errors. Since the VI is formulated within the framework of weighted Sobolev spaces, we establish a weighted Poincare inequality with explicit determined constants. The truncation error estimate and the weighted Poncare inequality enable a reliable a posteriori error estimate between the exact solution of the VI and the semi-discrete solution of the penalised problem on R. A sufficient regular solution provides the convergence of the solution of the penalised problem to the solution of the VI. An a priori error estimate for the error between the exact solution of the VI and the semi-discrete solution of the penalised problem concludes the numerical analysis. The established a posteriori error estimates motivates an algorithm for adaptive mesh refinement. Numerical experiments show the improved convergence of the adaptive algorithm compared to uniform mesh refinement. The reliable a posteriori error estimate including explicit truncation errors allows to determine a truncation point such that the total error (discretisation and truncation error) is below a given error tolerance.

We choose the Black-Scholes option valuation model, one of the most famous models of finance, and we submet it of an analysis in the Philosophy of Science point of view. At first, we present an historical reconstruction of Black-Scholes model conceptual basis, using the original text of 1973. After this, we show some aspects of philosophical models of scientific change after the position defined by Positivism. Special attention is given to Realism and Anti-Realismo conception of science. At the end, we describe some empirical aspects of Black-Scholes model and its correlation inside the Economy and Modern Theory of Finance.

Full textOption Pricing Theory (OPT), along with the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the Theory of Capital Structure, and the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, form one of the pillars of modem finance theory. Central to OPT is the Black-Scholes model, the first option pricing model derived within a general equilibrium framework, and therefore consistent with all arbitrage conditions an asset pricing model must satisfy. An attempt is made at explaining this model, and the first part of the paper is devoted to this objective. The appreciation of the theoretical elegance of the Black-Scholes model can be considerably enhanced through the understanding of the issues that made (and still make in the case of American put options) the derivation of an equilibrium model of option pricing such an immense task. With the intention of emphasising such issues, the first section of Part One covers the option pricing models that had been suggested before Black and Scholes (and Merton). This helps to put the Black-Scholes model in context, as well as facilitate an understanding of the approach Black and Scholes adopted in developing their model. Its derivation is the central focus of section 3, the second section of Part One. The second part of the paper contains an attempt at testing the Black-Scholes model, first in its "pure form," and then adjusted to account for the possibility of early exercise. Simple regression tests are performed, where daily prices of a sample of stock options traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange are used as dependent variables in regression equations. Black-Scholes model prices are computed, and used as the explanatory variables in these equations. But before the tests could be conducted, the distributions of the underlying assets' returns had to be examined and due consideration had to be given to the estimation of the volatility parameters. Part Two starts with a very brief overview of the South African exchange-traded stock options market. This is followed by a description of the data used in the tests, and discussions on the statistical behaviour of the underlying assets. A discussion on volatility estimating follows, and the test results are then presented.

The implementation was made in OpenCL compatible with recent Altera / Intel FPGAs. This implementation is modular and allows the use of different random number generators in different software and hardware configurations. The proposal is that these implementations can take advantage of each component, resulting in a greater number of simulations and consequently improving the accuracy of the results.

Full textThe famous Black-Scholes (BS) model used in the option pricing theory
contains two parameters - a volatility and an interest rate. Both
parameters should be determined before the price evaluation procedure
starts. Usually one use the historical data to guess the value of these
parameters. For short lifetime options the interest rate can be estimated
in proper way, but the volatility estimation is, as well in this case,
more demanding. It turns out that the volatility should be considered
as a function of the asset prices and time to make the valuation self
consistent. One of the approaches to this problem is the method of
uncertain volatility and the static hedging. In this case the envelopes
for the maximal and minimal estimated option price will be introduced.
The envelopes will be described by the Black - Scholes - Barenblatt
(BSB) equations. The existence of the upper and lower bounds for the
option price makes it possible to develop the worse and the best cases
scenario for the given portfolio. These estimations will be financially
relevant if the upper and lower envelopes lie relatively narrow to each
other. One of the ideas to converge envelopes to an unknown solution
is the possibility to introduce an optimal static hedged portfolio.

Full textThis work presents a study on how we should adapted the Greeks or risk factors of the Black and Scholes model. We can derive analytical equations for the main sensitivities of the model and using the market data to build an implied volatility surface and to get additional terms for the risk factors. We propose to implement this model in a scheme of analytic differential equations derived from the pricing model and from the implied volatility function. The building of this implied volatility and risk factors was based on the foreign exchange Brazilian market.

Full textNeste trabalho são analisadas as propriedades teóricas e empíricas de três modelos de precificação de opções financeiras sobre ações: Black Scholes (1973), ad-hoc Black Scholes (Dumas, Fleming e Whaley, 1998), e o modelo GARCH assimétrico proposto por Heston e Nandi (2000), ou HN-GARCH. Os modelos são testados em opções de compra sobre ações preferenciais da Petrobras. É mostrado que o modelo Black Scholes (1973), por supor que a variância do ativo subjacente seja constante, apresentou o pior desempenho de predição comparativamente aos outros dois modelos, que consideram a volatilidade uma variável. Enquanto o modelo ad-hoc Black Scholes precificou melhor as opções muito dentro do dinheiro, dentro do dinheiro e muito fora do dinheiro, o modelo HN-GARCH obteve desempenho superior em opções no dinheiro e fora do dinheiro
This study analyzes the theoretical and empirical properties of three models for pricing options on financial stocks: Black Scholes (1973), ad-hoc Black Scholes (Dumas, Fleming and Whaley, 1998), and the asymmetric GARCH model proposed by Heston and Nandi (2000), or HN-GARCH. The models are tested in call s options on shares of Petrobras. It is shown that the Black Scholes model (1973), by assuming that the variance of the underlying asset is constant, showed the worst performance prediction compared to the other two models that consider volatility a variable. While the model adhoc Black Scholes priced much better options deep in the money, in the money and deep out of the money, the HN-GARCH model had superior performance for at the money and out of the money options

Full textIn this work we consider the nonlinear case of Black-Scholes equation and apply it to American options. Also, method of Liao and Khaliq of high order was applied to nonlinear Black-Scholes equation in case of American options. Here, we use this method oh fourth order in time and space to raise American option price accuracy.

Full textThis study examines whether the performance of the Black-Scholes model to price stock index options is influenced by the general conditions of the financial markets. For this purpose we calculated the theoretical values of 5814 options (3366 put option price observations and 2448 call option price observations) under the Black-Scholes assumptions. We compared these theoretical values with the real market prices in order to put the degree of deviations in two different time windows built around the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers (September 15th 2008) to the test. We find clear evidences to state that the Black-Scholes model performed differently in the period after Lehman Brothers than in the period before; therefore we are able to blame this event for our findings.
