Download or read book The Information Content of Prices in Derivative Security Markets written by Louis O. Scott and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-12-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prices in futures markets and option markets reflect expectations about future price movements in spot markets, but these prices can also be influenced by risk premia. Futures and forward prices are sometimes interpreted as market expectations for future spot prices, and option prices are used to calculate the market’s expectations for future volatility of spot prices. Do these prices accurately reflect market expectations? The purpose of this paper is to examine the information that is reflected in futures prices and option prices. The issue is examined by reviewing both the relevant analytical models and the empirical evidence.

This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Option Trading and the Information Content of Security Prices with Respect to Accounting Earnings written by Li-Chin Jennifer Ho and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior studies show that option listing and subsequent trading improve a firm's information environment and that the price-earnings relation is influenced by characteristics of the information environment. Motivated by these research findings, we examine whether option trading is associated with changes in the information content of security prices with respect to future accounting earnings. We find that before the listing of a firm's options, the firm's security returns from the previous fiscal year convey little information regarding the current year's earnings changes. In contrast, the returns from the previous fiscal year are a significant variable in explaining the current year's earnings changes after option listing. Our findings are robust after potential confounding factors, such as firm size, financial press coverage, and institutional concentration, are controlled. Overall, the evidence is consistent with the claim that option trading enhances the informativeness of security prices with respect to future accounting earnings.

Download or read book Introduction To Derivative Securities Financial Markets And Risk Management An Third Edition written by Robert A Jarrow and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition updates the text in two significant ways. First, it updates the presentation to reflect changes that have occurred in financial markets since the publication of the 2nd edition. One such change is with respect to the over-the-counter interest rate derivatives markets and the abolishment of LIBOR as a reference rate. Second, it updates the theory to reflect new research related to asset price bubbles and the valuation of options. Asset price bubbles are a reality in financial markets and their impact on derivative pricing is essential to understand. This is the only introductory textbook that contains these insights on asset price bubbles and options.

Download or read book Quantum Finance written by Belal E. Baaquie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies the mathematics and concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory to the modelling of interest rates and the theory of options. Particular emphasis is placed on path integrals and Hamiltonians. Financial mathematics is dominated by stochastic calculus. The present book offers a formulation that is completely independent of that approach. As such many results emerge from the ideas developed by the author. This work will be of interest to physicists and mathematicians working in the field of finance, to quantitative analysts in banks and finance firms and to practitioners in the field of fixed income securities and foreign exchange. The book can also be used as a graduate text for courses in financial physics and financial mathematics.

Download or read book Pricing Derivative Securities 2nd Edition written by Thomas Wake Epps and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007-06-04 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents techniques for valuing derivative securities at a level suitable for practitioners, students in doctoral programs in economics and finance, and those in masters-level programs in financial mathematics and computational finance. It provides the necessary mathematical tools from analysis, probability theory, the theory of stochastic processes, and stochastic calculus, making extensive use of examples. It also covers pricing theory, with emphasis on martingale methods. The chapters are organized around the assumptions made about the dynamics of underlying price processes. Readers begin with simple, discrete-time models that require little mathematical sophistication, proceed to the basic Black-Scholes theory, and then advance to continuous-time models with multiple risk sources. The second edition takes account of the major developments in the field since 2000. New topics include the use of simulation to price American-style derivatives, a new one-step approach to pricing options by inverting characteristic functions, and models that allow jumps in volatility and Markov-driven changes in regime. The new chapter on interest-rate derivatives includes extensive coverage of the LIBOR market model and an introduction to the modeling of credit risk. As a supplement to the text, the book contains an accompanying CD-ROM with user-friendly FORTRAN, C++, and VBA program components.
Download or read book The Information Content of Price Limit Moves written by Lawrence J. Belcher and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An asset's price in an environment with price limit rules can be replicated by the price of a portfolio consisting of a riskless asset and two synthetic options. A procedure is used to unbundle the unobservable option values imbedded in the actual futures price and impute a theoretical true futures price. Under this framework, evidence from the Treasury Bond futures market suggests that theoretical true futures prices diverge from actual futures prices, on average, three hours prior to the activation of price limit rules, indicating that price limit moves might be predictable. As the magnitude of the difference between the theoretical futures prices and the actual futures prices is significantly larger for limit moves resulting in trading halts for the entire trading day, as compared to limit moves on trading days in which trading resumes, intraday trading halts and consecutive daily limit moves can also be predicted. The reversal of both the actual futures prices and the theoretical futures prices back within the limit range after a limit move provides support for the possibility that traders tend to overreact when market prices are near price limits.

Download or read book Following the Money written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-11-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many questions have been raised about America's status in the increasingly interconnected global economy. Yet key factsâ€"such as the amount of foreign assets abroad owned by U.S. citizensâ€"are not known. The crucial data needed to assess the U.S. position are unavailable. This volume explores significant shortcomings in U.S. data on international capital transactions and their implications for policymakers. The volume offers clearcut recommendations for U.S. agencies to bring data collection and analyses of the global economy into the twenty-first century. The volume explores: How factors emerging since the early 1980s have shaped world financial markets and revealed shortcomings in data collection and analysis. How the existing U.S. data system works and where it fails how measurements of international financial transactions are recorded; and how swaps, options, and futures present special reporting problems. How alternative methods, such as collecting data, from sources such as global custodians and international clearinghouses, might improve coverage and accuracy.
