Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In financial markets, spread option is a derivative security with two underlying assets and the payoff of the spread option depends on the difference of these assets. We consider American style spread option which allows the owners to exercise it at any time before the maturity. The complexity of pricing American spread option is that the boundary of the corresponding partial differential equation which determines the option price is unknown and the model for the underlying assets is two-dimensional.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we investigate the spread option pricing problem with stochastic interest rate. First, we will review the basic concept and theories of stochastic calculus, give an introduction of spread options and provide some examples of spread options in different markets. We will also review the market efficiency theory, arbitrage and assumptions that are commonly used in mathematical finance. In Chapter 3, we will review existing spread pricing models and term-structure models such as Vasicek Mode, and the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework. In Chapter 4, we will use the martingale approach to derive a partial differential equation for the price of the spread option with stochastic interest rate. In Chapter 5, we will study the spread option numerically. We will conclude this dissertation with ideas for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, we consider the issue of pricing exchange option and spread option with stochastic interest rates. We provide the closed form solution for the exchange option price when interest rate is stochastic. Our result holds when interest rate is modeled with a stochastic term structure of general form, which includes Vasicek model, CIR term structure, and other well-known term structure models as special cases. In particular, we have discussed the possibility of using our closed form solution as a control variate in pricing spread options with stochastic interest rate.

Book excerpt: Spread options are derivative securities, which are written on the difference between the values of two underlying market variables. They are very important tools to hedge the correlation risk. American style spread options allow the holder to exercise the option at any time up to and including maturity. Although they are widely used to hedge and speculate in financial market, the valuation of the American spread option is very challenging. Because even under the classic assumptions that the underlying assets follow the log-normal distribution, the resulting spread doesn't have a distribution with a simple closed formula. In this dissertation, we investigate the American spread option pricing problem. Several approaches for the geometric Brownian motion model and the stochastic volatility model are developed. We also implement the above models and the numerical results are compared among different approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we develop a new method to value American stock options with stochastic interest rates. We construct a binomial tree for the stock price divided by the price of the zero coupon bond that matures at the maturity date of the option. In fact, we construct a tree for the so-called forward risk adjusted measure. In each node of the tree the quotient of the stock price and bond price is constant and there are combinations of stock and bond prices for which immediate exercise is optimal and other combinations for which this is not the case. We derive for each node in the tree an analytic expression for the expected immediate exercise premium conditional on this quotient of stock and bond prices. This immediate exercise premium is added to the value that is derived from the familiar backward procedure. Both European and American option prices depend on the correlation between the interest rate process and the stock price process. It is interesting to see that with increasing correlation between the interest rate process and the stock price process, and hence a decreasing correlation between bond and stock prices, the values of European options increase, while the values of the early exercise premium decrease. For American options this might result in a non-monotonic relation between the correlation coefficient and the option price. Furthermore, there is evidence that the early exercise premium due to stochastic interest rates is much larger than established before by other researchers. Finally, we also consider the influence of the shape of the initial term structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents a closed form solution for pricing American stock call options with one known dividend under the Ho-Lee stochastic interest rate assumptions. Both the closed-form pricing formula and delta hedge ratio formula for the discussed American stock call options are derived. The correlation between the underlying stock price process and the discount factor process is suitably established. Numerical analyses demonstrate that there are some crucial parameters, the correlation coefficient between the stock price process and the discount factor process, and the amount of dividend, that have an impact on the option price and the delta hedge ratio. These results provide researchers and participants with some pricing and hedging applications in the real financial market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general numerical method for pricing American options in regime-switching jump-diffusion models of stock dynamics with stochastic interest rates and/or volatility is developed. Time derivative and infinitesimal generator of the process for factors that determine the dynamics of the interest rate and/or volatility are discretized. The result is a sequence of embedded perpetual options in a Markov-modulated Leacute;vy model. Options in this sequence are solved using an iteration method based on the Wiener-Hopf factorization. An explicit algorithm for the case of positive stochastic interest rates driven by a process of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type is derived. Efficiency of the method is illustrated with numerical examples.

Book excerpt: A general numerical method for pricing American options in regime-switching jump-diffusion models of stock dynamics with stochastic interest rates and/or volatility is developed. Time derivative and infinitesimal generator of the process for factors that determine the dynamics of the interest rate and/or volatility are discretized. The result is a sequence of embedded perpetual options in a Markov-modulated Leacute;vy model. Options in this sequence are solved using an iteration method based on the Wiener-Hopf factorization. Contrary to the earlier version of the method, the interest rate may assume non-positive values. As applications, explicit algorithms for Vasicek and Black's models with jumps are derived. Numerical examples show that the option prices in these two models are very close.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop an arbitrage-free discrete time model to price American-style claims for which domestic term structurerisk, foreign term structure risk and currency risk are important. This model combines a discrete version of the Heath, Jarrow, Morton (1992) term structure model with the binomial model of Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979). It converges (weakly) to the continuous time models in Amin and Jarrow (1991, 1992). The general model is quot;path dependentquot; and can be implemented with arbitrary volatility functions to value claims with maturity up to five years. The model is illustrated with applications to long-dated American currency warrants and a cross-rate swap from the quanto class.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bachelier Society for Mathematical Finance held its first World Congress in Paris last year, and coincided with the centenary of Louis Bacheliers thesis defence. In his thesis Bachelier introduces Brownian motion as a tool for the analysis of financial markets as well as the exact definition of options. The thesis is viewed by many the key event that marked the emergence of mathematical finance as a scientific discipline. The prestigious list of plenary speakers in Paris included two Nobel laureates, Paul Samuelson and Robert Merton, and the mathematicians Henry McKean and S.R.S. Varadhan. Over 130 further selected talks were given in three parallel sessions. .
