Random Walk: A Modern Introduction

Random walk – the stochastic process formed by successive summation of independent, identically distributed random variables – is one of the most basic and well-studied topics in probability theory. For random walks on the integer lattice Zd, the main reference is the classic book by Spitzer [16].

Stochastic Calculus: An Introduction with Applications

This is an introduction to stochastic calculus. I will assume that the reader has had a post-calculus course in probability or statistics. For much of these notes this is all that is needed, but to have a deep understanding of the subject, one needs to know measure theory and probability from that per-spective.

Black-Scholes Equations

Black-Scholes formulation establishes the equilibrium condition between the expected return on the option, the expected return on the stock, and the riskless interest rate. We will derive the formula in this chapter. Since the publication of Black-Scholes’ and Merton’s papers, the growth of the field of derivative securities has been ...

The Black-Scholes Model

The Black-Merton-Scholes-Merton (BMS) model Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973) derive option prices under the following assumption on the stock price dynamics, dS t = S tdt + ˙S tdW t (explained later) The binomial model: Discrete states and discrete time (The number of possible stock prices and time steps are both nite).

Short Guide to Developing Interdisciplinary Research ...

Motivations for setting up and funding interdisciplinary research programmes might include: • the nature of the subject is interdisciplinary (e.g. transport, environment) • researchers are transferring information from the laboratory to the real world • the research is user driven (not necessarily commercial) • the research is particularly relevant to policy making in complex areas
