Book Continuous Time Asset Pricing Theory

Download or read book Continuous Time Asset Pricing Theory written by Robert A. Jarrow and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asset pricing theory yields deep insights into crucial market phenomena such as stock market bubbles. Now in a newly revised and updated edition, this textbook guides the reader through this theory and its applications to markets. The new edition features ​new results on state dependent preferences, a characterization of market efficiency and a more general presentation of multiple-factor models using only the assumptions of no arbitrage and no dominance. Taking an innovative approach based on martingales, the book presents advanced techniques of mathematical finance in a business and economics context, covering a range of relevant topics such as derivatives pricing and hedging, systematic risk, portfolio optimization, market efficiency, and equilibrium pricing models. For applications to high dimensional statistics and machine learning, new multi-factor models are given. This new edition integrates suicide trading strategies into the understanding of asset price bubbles, greatly enriching the overall presentation and further strengthening the book’s underlying theme of economic bubbles. Written by a leading expert in risk management, Continuous-Time Asset Pricing Theory is the first textbook on asset pricing theory with a martingale approach. Based on the author’s extensive teaching and research experience on the topic, it is particularly well suited for graduate students in business and economics with a strong mathematical background.

Book General Equilibrium Asset Pricing Under Regime Switching

Download or read book General Equilibrium Asset Pricing Under Regime Switching written by Robert J. Elliott and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we have developed a continuous time general equilibrium model in an economy which has two states, a 'good' state and a 'bad' state. There are two types of shocks in the economy: small shocks and large shocks. The small shocks which only affect the individual price movements are modeled by Brownian motions. The large shocks, the states of the economy, are modeled by a continuous time Markov Chain. There are one riskless assets, n basic risky assets and contingent claims written on the risky assets in the market. The states of the economy affect the expected returns and the variances of the assets. We assume in different states, the means and variances of the instantaneous returns are different. We then investigate the asset pricing problem in general equilibrium with a representative agent who maximizes a cost function. Based on the assumption of a CRRA utility function, we have derived a partial differential equation satisfied by the representative agent's cost function. A form of the solution of the partial differential equation has been given in general equilibrium with intermediate consumption. In the case when the representative agent doesn't have intermediate consumption, we have found an explicit solution of the cost function. A closed-form expression for the riskless interest rate has been derived. We have also provided a partial differential equation satisfied by any contingent claim written on basic risky asset. The stochastic discount factor has been defined and computed in our framework. Based on the stochastic discount factor, we have provided an explanation for the equity premium puzzle.

Book Advanced Asset Pricing Theory

Download or read book Advanced Asset Pricing Theory written by Ma Chenghu and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad introduction of modern asset pricing theory with equal treatments for both discrete-time and continuous-time modeling. Both the no-arbitrage and the general equilibrium approaches of asset pricing theory are treated coherently within the general equilibrium framework.The analyses and coverage are up to date, comprehensive and in-depth. Topics include microeconomic foundation of asset pricing theory, the no-arbitrage principle and fundamental theorem, risk measurement and risk management, sequential portfolio choice, equity premium decomposition, option pricing, bond pricing and term structure of interest rates. The merits and limitations are expounded with respect to allocation and information market efficiency, along with the classical expectations hypothesis concerning the information content of yield curve and bond prices. Efforts are also made towards the resolution of several well-documented puzzles in empirical finance, which include the equity premium puzzle, the risk free rate puzzle, and the money-ness bias phenomenon of Black-Scholes option pricing model.The theory is self-contained and unified in presentation. The inclusion of proofs and derivations to enhance the transparency of the underlying arguments and conditions for the validity of the economic theory makes an ideal advanced textbook or reference book for graduate students specializing in financial economics and quantitative finance. The explanations are detailed enough to capture the interest of those curious readers, and complete enough to provide necessary background material needed to explore further the subject and research literature.

Book Asset Pricing in a Two Country Discontinuous General Equilibrium Model

Download or read book Asset Pricing in a Two Country Discontinuous General Equilibrium Model written by Ciprian Necula and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to develop a framework for asset pricing in a continuous time general equilibrium model for a two country Lucas type economy. The model assumes that the output in the two countries follows a jump-diffusion stochastic process characterized by constant growth rates and volatilities and by log-normal amplitude of the jumps. Using this specification we deduce the fundamental evaluation equations for financial assets as well as a formula for the price of exchange rate options in this economy.

Book Dynamic Asset Allocation with Forwards and Futures

Download or read book Dynamic Asset Allocation with Forwards and Futures written by Abraham Lioui and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an advanced text on the theory of forward and futures markets which aims at providing readers with a comprehensive knowledge of how prices are established and evolve in time, what optimal strategies one can expect the participants to follow, whether they pertain to arbitrage, speculation or hedging, what characterizes such markets and what major theoretical and practical differences distinguish futures from forward contracts. It should be of interest to students (MBAs majoring in finance with quantitative skills and PhDs in finance and financial economics), academics (both theoreticians and empiricists), practitioners, and regulators. Standard textbooks dealing with forward and futures markets generally focus on the description of the contracts, institutional details, and the effective (as opposed to theoretically optimal) use of these instruments by practitioners. The theoretical analysis is often reduced to the (undoubtedly important) cash-and-carry relationship and the computation of the simple, static, minimum variance hedge ratio. This book proposes an alternative approach of these markets from the perspective of dynamic asset allocation and asset pricing theory within an inter-temporal framework that is in line with what has been done many years ago for options markets.

Book Methods of Mathematical Finance

Download or read book Methods of Mathematical Finance written by Ioannis Karatzas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sequel to Brownian Motion and Stochastic Calculus by the same authors develops contingent claim pricing and optimal consumption/investment in both complete and incomplete markets, within the context of Brownian-motion-driven asset prices. The latter topic is extended to a study of equilibrium, providing conditions for existence and uniqueness of market prices which support trading by several heterogeneous agents. Although much of the incomplete-market material is available in research papers, these topics are treated for the first time in a unified manner. The book contains an extensive set of references and notes describing the field, including topics not treated in the book. This book will be of interest to researchers wishing to see advanced mathematics applied to finance. The material on optimal consumption and investment, leading to equilibrium, is addressed to the theoretical finance community. The chapters on contingent claim valuation present techniques of practical importance, especially for pricing exotic options.

Book Econophysics and Capital Asset Pricing

Download or read book Econophysics and Capital Asset Pricing written by James Ming Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book rehabilitates beta as a definition of systemic risk by using particle physics to evaluate discrete components of financial risk. Much of the frustration with beta stems from the failure to disaggregate its discrete components; conventional beta is often treated as if it were "atomic" in the original Greek sense: uncut and indivisible. By analogy to the Standard Model of particle physics theory's three generations of matter and the three-way interaction of quarks, Chen divides beta as the fundamental unit of systemic financial risk into three matching pairs of "baryonic" components. The resulting econophysics of beta explains no fewer than three of the most significant anomalies and puzzles in mathematical finance. Moreover, the model's three-way analysis of systemic risk connects the mechanics of mathematical finance with phenomena usually attributed to behavioral influences on capital markets. Adding consideration of volatility and correlation, and of the distinct cash flow and discount rate components of systematic risk, harmonizes mathematical finance with labor markets, human capital, and macroeconomics.

Book Continuous time Asset Pricing with Ambiguity Aversion

Download or read book Continuous time Asset Pricing with Ambiguity Aversion written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Thesis is structured in two Chapters, each aimed at contributing to the existing literature by exploring the effects of ambiguity aversion on two classical equilibrium asset pricing problems: the term structure of interest rates and two-agents equilibrium. In both cases, ambiguity aversion is modeled by means of a Max-Min expected utility representation that falls within the Recursive Multiple Priors class - thereby delivering dynamic consistency of the optimal policies of the agents. The set of likelihood used in the preference orderings representation is identified by means of a bound on the maximum 'distance' between admissible probability measures and a reference one, interpreted as approximate description of the true data generating model. The first Chapter of the Thesis, 'A General Treatment of Equilibrium under Ambiguity' considers a continuous-time pure exchange economy populated by two agents, whose decisions rely on a whole set of possible contaminations of a reference probabilistic model. Given that they adopt a form of max-min expected utility representation, agents select the worst-case model among those considered as relevant. The methodology applied in order to characterize equilibrium equity premia and stock returns volatility is based on a weak notion of aggregation of the single agents into a representative agent, whose preferences depend on an additional state variable acting as a proxy for the stochastic shifts of the cross-sectional wealth distribution due to the different beliefs selected in equilibrium by agents. Closed form solutions for key equilibrium quantities are detailed for markovian specifications of the stochastic opportunity set. This modelling framework suggests a possible explanation of the equity premium puzzle; what is more, endogenous cycles of restricted stock market participation are obtained, without imposing exogenous policy restrictions on agents. The second Chapter, 'Ambiguity aversion, bond pricing, and the non robu.
