1 ADM 841J Winter 2010 Tu MB Professor Stylianos Perrakis Concordia University, MB Phone: Course Outline (preliminary) Derivatives Pricing This course is addressed to students who have an interest in doing research work on the general topic of option pricing. It provides an advanced coverage of the general theory of derivatives pricing, and an examination of some special topics within option pricing and financial engineering that can stimulate the selection of research topics for advanced degrees in finance and mathematics. It focuses primarily on theory, but it also includes some special topics and applications. It can be extended or modified to accommodate the interests of the students taking the course, who will be encouraged to bring to the class the problems they are concerned with. Students taking this course are expected to be already familiar with the basics of options and futures as covered in Investments courses or undergraduate Futures and Options courses, as in the first part of the textbooks by Ritchken and Hull. In other words, they should be familiar with futures and options and futures and options markets, with option strategies and the arbitrage bounds, and with an elementary treatment of the binomial and Black-Scholes models. One or two brief refresher sessions will be devoted to the required topics at the beginning of the course. Part of the course will be covered by the instructor and part will be given as a seminar. The course starts with the introduction of a few basic notions such as complete markets and elements of continuous time finance like the Wiener process, with which a basic familiarity is assumed. It then includes the basic models in option pricing, based on the
2 absence of arbitrage, at a rather advanced level. There will be problems all along this part of the course, whose solutions will be posted in the class folder. The course will then proceed to the more interesting cases, where the basic models fail. These are the cases of violations of the fundamental assumptions of the basic model, market completeness and frictionless trading. Derivatives pricing models in the presence of market incompleteness will be examined, principally those including stochastic volatility and jump processes; in these models absence of arbitrage is supplemented by market equilibrium considerations. The attempts to deal with the presence of market frictions such as transaction costs will also be documented, demonstrating the failure of the basic model to accommodate them. In parallel with the basic models the course will examine the stochastic dominance approach to option pricing. This approach was originally developed to deal with market incompleteness. It has recently been extended to include option pricing in the presence of proportional transaction costs. Recent contributions have demonstrated the links of this approach with the basic model and introduced new empirical methods based on the theoretical insights that it provides. In the part of the course that will be given as a seminar students are supposed to select articles (at least two) or focus on a group of papers dedicated to one theme from among those starred in the bibliography. The article selection should be completed by the third week of class, namely January 19, For every article the student must present it to the class, and lead the subsequent discussion. The student presentations will be interspersed with those of the instructor. The students are also expected to write a research paper on a topic covered or related to the contents of the course, and present their work to the class at the end of the course. The research paper could possibly lead to a thesis plan. A number of topics will be suggested at the beginning of the course. Performance in the course is evaluated as follows: Article presentations 20% Project presentation 10% Exam 30% Project 40% Note: The topic of derivatives pricing has a heavy mathematical content by its own nature. While such heavy use of mathematics cannot be avoided, a major effort will be expended in simplifying the presentation and avoid reliance on advanced mathematical concepts. We are more interested in economic intuition and results that are useful in practical or empirical applications, rather than in economic rigor.
