Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper deals with the pricing of di%0Berent types of power options which are of practical relevance. First of all, a general valuation technique is developed that can be applied to several non-negative payo%0Bs being a function of the terminal stock price only. The key trick in the derivation is to forget about a choice of numeraires in the first place, but to use an appropriate density to change the measure. This allows for an elegant pricing equation in terms of artificial probabilities similar to the Black Scholes formula. However, the probabilities are not necessarily martingale measures. We gain economic intuition in this change of measure when we distinguish between complete and incomplete markets. In a complete market we derive that the measure corresponds to a traded numeraire portfolio, which means that it is a martingale measure whereas in incomplete markets this is in general no longer true. Furthermore, the method is applied to two examples. First, the standard Black Scholes framework is considered as an example for a complete market where the corresponding numeraire portfolio is computed explicitly. Second, we deal with stochastic volatility models as an example for an incomplete market. Closed-form solutions are derived for quot;power optionsquot; (written on a power of the underlying stock) with and without cap, and quot;powered optionsquot; (where the option payo%0B is raised to some power). There are two key contributions of this paper. First, we gain economic insight in the relationship between change of measure and change of numeraire in complete and incomplete markets. Second, we derive closed-form solutions for several types of power options under stochastic volatility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latest Edition: Pricing Derivative Securities (2nd Edition)The development of successful techniques for valuing derivative assets is among the most influential achievements of economic science. Pricing Derivative Securities presents the theory of financial derivatives in a way that emphasizes both its mathematical foundations and its practical implementation. The book's organization reveals its three distinctive features. Part I surveys the necessary tools of analysis, probability theory, and stochastic calculus, thus making the book self-contained. The chapters in Part II, Pricing Theory, are organized around the dynamics of the price processes of underlying assets, progressing from simple models to those that require considerable mathematical sophistication. The last part of the book is devoted to the empirical implementation of the pricing formulas developed in Part II, offering a detailed survey of numerical methods and providing a collection of programs in FORTRAN and C++.Errata(s)Preface, Page viChapter 13, Page 534?www.worldscientific.com/books/4415.zip?

Download or read book The Power of Derivatives in the Global Financial System written by Maximilian A. Killinger and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, grade: A, City University London, language: English, abstract: This work is to discuss the role and power of derivatives in the global financial markets and their ability to reduce, diversify and enhance risks associated with international capital flows. During the last two decades derivatives, as fiscal instruments, experienced enormous growth and gained increasingly of importance. This is mainly due to their ability to allow the spreading of risks in cross border capital movements, making such investments more appealing and the diversification of portfolios more likely. Yet, derivative markets are controversial because they are not well known outside a small group of specialists. Most people look at them with suspicion and focus on their role as highly effective instruments for speculation. Given the leverage they provide fortunes can be made or lost in the wink of an eye. Although derivatives do not create anything it will be shown in the course of this study that the importance of derivatives lies in the fact that they can be used to reduce, diversify and control uncertainty and risks associated with various corporate activities, thus creating substantial benefits as well as complexities. Section one is going to define the most common derivative products before addressing their general purpose followed by exemplifying two principal risks aligned with the use of derivatives, namely credit- and market risk. Subsequently this works is going to discuss the positive as well as the negative effects derivatives may have on banks and investors. Sections five, six and seven will then illuminate systematic predicaments, address risks and eventually conclude after having considered the entanglement and market share of derivatives. Warren Buffett, Forbes-listed as the richest person in the world, has called credit derivatives financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal. Nominally they are insurances against defaults, but they encourage greater gambles and credit expansion, which are moral hazards whereas Alan Greenspan, on the other hand, observed that derivatives have come to play an exceptionally important role in our financial system and in our economy. These instruments allow users to unbundle risks and allocate them to the investors most willing and able to use them. It is this study’s object to illuminate the complexity of derivatives and exemplify both, their advantageous and unfavourable but yet undeniably powerful characteristics.

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of original papers by Robert Jarrow that contributed to significant advances in financial economics. Divided into three parts, Part I concerns option pricing theory and its foundations. The papers here deal with the famous Black-Scholes-Merton model, characterizations of the American put option, and the first applications of arbitrage pricing theory to market manipulation and liquidity risk.Part II relates to pricing derivatives under stochastic interest rates. Included is the paper introducing the famous Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model, together with papers on topics like the characterization of the difference between forward and futures prices, the forward price martingale measure, and applications of the HJM model to foreign currencies and commodities.Part III deals with the pricing of financial derivatives considering both stochastic interest rates and the likelihood of default. Papers cover the reduced form credit risk model, in particular the original Jarrow and Turnbull model, the Markov model for credit rating transitions, counterparty risk, and diversifiable default risk.

Download or read book Derivatives and the Wealth of Societies written by Benjamin Lee and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derivatives were responsible for one of the worst financial meltdowns in history, one from which we have not yet fully recovered. However, they are likewise capable of generating some of the most incredible wealth we have ever seen. This book asks how we might ensure the latter while avoiding the former. Looking past the usual arguments for the regulation or abolition of derivative finance, it asks a more probing question: what kinds of social institutions and policies would we need to put in place to both avail ourselves of the derivative’s wealth production and make sure that production benefits all of us? To answer that question, the contributors to this book draw upon their deep backgrounds in finance, social science, art, and the humanities to create a new way of understanding derivative finance that does justice to its social and cultural dimensions. They offer a two-pronged analysis. First, they develop a social understanding of the derivative that casts it in the light of anthropological concepts such as the gift, ritual, play, dividuality, and performativity. Second, they develop a derivative understanding of the social, using financial concepts such as risk, hedging, optionality, and arbitrage to uncover new dimensions of contemporary social reality. In doing so, they construct a necessary, renewed vision of derivative finance as a deeply embedded aspect not just of our economics but our culture.
