Mathematical Modeling Of Financial Derivative Pricing, Kelly L. Cosgrove
Mathematical Modeling Of Financial Derivative Pricing, Kelly L. Cosgrove
Honors Scholar Theses
The binomial asset-pricing model is used to price financial derivative securities. This text will begin by going over the probability concepts necessary to understand this discrete-time model. It then develops the theory behind the binomial model and different properties that arise. It shows how to use the binomial model to predict future stock prices, and then uses this information to price derivative securities. It initially focuses on the European call option, but goes on to provide a pricing method for the American put option. However, many of the theorems developed are applicable to all derivative securities. The text wraps up …
