  1. 1. The Predictive Power of Implied Volatility in Option Pricing

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Lovisa Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Option Pricing; Black-Scholes; Finance; Implied Volatility; Applied Mathematics; Machine Learning; Optionsprissättning; Black-Scholes; Finans; Implicit Volatilitet; Tillämpad Matematik; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : During the last few years, financial derivatives have been growing in trading volume. There seem to be a high demand and supply of derivatives on the market and one common derivative is the option contract. The option contract is frequently the subject of studies and many different pricing models have been created for options. READ MORE

  2. 2. Exploring backward stochastic differential equations and deep learning for high-dimensional partial differential equations and European option pricing

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Jonathan Leung; [2023]
    Keywords : Backward Stochastic Differential Equations; Semilinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations; Artificial Neural Networks; Nonlinear Option Pricing; Black-Scholes; Nonlinear Feynman-Kac; Euler-Maruyama;

    Abstract : Many phenomena in our world can be described as differential equations in high dimensions. However, they are notoriously challenging to solve numerically due to the exponential growth in computational cost with increasing dimensions. READ MORE

  3. 3. Stochastic Runge–Kutta Lawson Schemes for European and Asian Call Options Under the Heston Model

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Nicolas Kuiper; Martin Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Runge–Kutta Lawson scheme; Heston model; Black–Scholes model; Stochastic Differential Equation; Euler–Maruyama scheme; Midpoint scheme; Monte Carlo; European Options; Asian Options; Option pricing.;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated Stochastic Runge–Kutta Lawson (SRKL) schemes and their application to the Heston model. Two distinct SRKL discretization methods were used to simulate a single asset’s dynamics under the Heston model, notably the Euler–Maruyama and Midpoint schemes. READ MORE

  4. 4. Artificial Intelligence for Option Pricing

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Emil Hietanen; [2022-06-19]
    Keywords : Options; calls; puts; pricing; artificial neural networks; models; volatility; comparison;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the issue of vulnerable underlying assumptions used in option pricing methodology. More precisely; underlying assumptions made on the financial assets and markets make option pricing theory vulnerable to changes in the financial framework. READ MORE

  5. 5. Swaptions from a Clearinghouse perspective : Hedging swaptions, an option on interest rate swaps, using compression

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Joel Forsberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Swaptions; Clearinghouse; Compression; Interest rate swap;

    Abstract : With the increasing popularity of interest rate swaps the need to understandswaptions, an option of an interest rate swap, is of great importance. A swap-tion can be used in both speculative purposes and to hedge against changesin interest rates. The most important thing to understand is the pricing for-mula. READ MORE
