  3. 2. The Unification of Germany and Regional Economic Convergence: Evidence from Real Wage Data, 1850-1889

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : David Vesterager Husfeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : convergence; economic history; real wages; Germany; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the regional development of Germany in the 19th century, examining whether there was an increased tendency toward economic convergence between the German states following the country’s unification. Through a quantitative analysis using real wage data on various German cities and regions covering the period 1850-1889, the study looks for evidence of beta-convergence both before and after the unification of 1871, as well as evidence for sigma-convergence during the whole period.

  6. 5. An introduction to Multilevel Monte Carlo with applications to options.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Kristofer Cronvald; [2019]
    Keywords : Multilevel Monte Carlo; Options; Mathematical finance; Simulation; Stochastic Differential Equations; Computational complexity; Strong convergence; Weak convergence; Euler-Maruyama; Milstein.;

    Abstract : A standard problem in mathematical finance is the calculation of the price of some financial derivative such as various types of options. Since there exists analytical solutions in only a few cases it will often boil down to estimating the price with Monte Carlo simulation in conjunction with some numerical discretization scheme.
