3 NOTATION DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
4 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 4 / 51 Notation I Integral: tn 0 f (t) dt n 1 f (t i ) t i i=0 Discrete Interpretation: Integral is approximately the sum of f (t i ) t i. For piecewise constant function f, constant on [t i,t i+1 ) we have " =" above.
5 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 5 / 51 Notation II Differential Equation: Define the function t X(t) by specifying its change: T dx = f (t) dt : X(T ) = X(0) + f (t) dt 0 Discrete Interpretation: f is the change of X per unit time (rate of change): X(t i ) = f (t i ) t i X(t i ) / t i = f (t i ).
6 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 6 / 51 Notation III Differential Equation - Special Case: Define the function X by specifying its relative change. T dx = f (t) X(t) dt X(T ) = X(0) + f (t) X(t) dt 0 Discrete Interpretation: f is the relative change of X per time (percentage rate of change): X(t i ) = f (t i ) X(t i ) t i X(t i )/ X(t i ) ti = f (t i ).

10 NOTATION MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION
11 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 11 / 51 Notation VI Monte-Carlo Simulation Expectation: E P (X) := X(ω i ) P({ω i }) ω i Ω Monte-Carlo Simulation: Numerical Approximation of Expectation: Let Ω := { ω 1, ω 2,..., ω m } denote elements from Ω - a drawing from Ω, i.e. a set of samples. Some ω i s may be the same and we may have more ω i s than Ω has elements. Our set of sample paths should have the following property: A path ω Ω occures in Ω approximately m P({ω}) times. Then we have E P (X) := X(ω i ) P({ω i }) 1 ω i Ω m X( ω i ) ω i Ω

47 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 32 / 51 Risk Neutral Valuation Monte-Carlo Simulation Advantages Pricing of path dependent options in a natural way. High dimensions possible (but slower convergence in high dimensions). Straight forward to implement. Challenges Sensitivities (partial derivatives of option price w.r.t. model parameters) tend to be unstable (harder to get them stable). Pricing of Bermudan option needs additional effort. Calibration.

51 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 36 / 51 Change of Drift Trick II Never need to (explicitly) calculate the measure Q: Conditional Expectation: E Q ( X(T i ) F Ti ) = X(T i,ω) Q({ω}) ω Ω interpretation 1: the measure has changed from P to Q: interpretation 2: the values have changed: = X(T i,ω) Q({ω}) ω Ω P({ω}) P({ω}) }{{} measure changed = X(T i,ω) Q({ω}) P({ω}) ω Ω P({ω}) }{{} value changed
52 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 37 / 51 Change of Drift Trick III Question: How does the process look like, if it has to satisfy the martingale property? Answer: The drift is zero. dx(t) = µdt + σdw (t) and E Q (X(T i+1 ) X(T i ) F Ti ) = 0 µ = 0 Note: X(T i+1 ) X(T i ) = X = T i+1 T i dx(t).
53 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 38 / 51 Change of Drift Trick IV Conclusion: Instead of calculating the pricing measure (martingale measure), simply write down the process and calculate the correct drift. change of measure change of drift A Monte-Carlo simulation of that process corresponds to a simulation under the pricing measure.
54 Change of Drift Trick V Itô Lemma: Main Tool to Calculate the Drift of Processes Let X denote an Itô prozess with dx(t) = µ dt + σ dw. Let g(t,x) denote some function g C 2 ([0, ] R). The we have that is an Itô process with Y (t) := g(t,x(t)) dy t = g t (t,x t) dt + g x (t,x t) dx t g x 2 (t,x t) (dx t ) 2, where (dx t ) 2 = (dx t ) (dx t ) is given by formal expansion with dt dt = 0, dt dw = 0, dw dt = 0, dw dw = dt, copyright 2012 Christian Fries 39 / 51
55 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 40 / 51 Change of Drift Trick VI i.e. (dx t ) 2 = (dx t ) (dx t ) = (µ dt + σ dw ) (µ dt + σ dw ) = µ 2 dt dt + µ σ dt dw + µ σ dw dt + σ 2 dw dw = σ 2 dt
56 copyright 2012 Christian Fries 41 / 51 Change of Drift Trick VII Itô Lemma: Example: dx(t) = µx(t) dt + σx(t) dw. Consider logarithm of X Y (t) := log(x(t)) then dy (t) = (µ 1 2 σ 2 ) dt + σ dw.
