Y t : X t+1 = X t Y t+1 E(X t+1 F t ) = E(X t Y t+1 F t ) = X t E(Y t+1 F t ) = X t 1 = X t MORE REALISTIC FOR STOCKS, FOR EXAMPLE BINOMIAL MODEL: X t = S t, Y = e r u or e r d under π WInter Per A. Mykland
2 MARKOV PROCESSES X t, t = 0,..., T is process adapted to filtration (F t ) (X t ) is a Markov process if for every function f there is a function g so that E(f(X t+1 ) F t ) = g(x t ) In other words: all current info relevant to the future of (X t ) is contained in the current value of (X t ). FOR EXAMPLE: (S t ) IS MARKOV IN THE BINOMIAL TREE. S t (ω t 1, H) = us t 1 (ω t 1 ) S t 1 (ω t 1 ). S t (ω t 1, T ) = ds t 1 (ω t 1 ) For S t 1 (ω t 1 ) = s t 1, and if Z = u with probability p(h) and = d with probability p(t ) E(f(S t ) F t 1 )(ω t 1 ) = E(f(ZS t 1 ) F t 1 )(ω t 1 ) where: = E(f(Zs t 1 ) F t 1 )(ω t 1 ) = E(f(Zs t 1 )) (since Z is independent of F t 1 ) = g(s t 1 ) g(s) = E(f(Zs)) = f(us)p(h) + f(ds)p(t ) This works for both actual and risk neutral probability WInter Per A. Mykland
3 General principle for taking out what is known Lemma: Let X = (X 1,..., X K ) and Y = (Y 1,..., X L ) be random variables, and let f(x, y) be a function. If X = (X 1,..., X p ) is G-measurable, then on the set ω {X = x} E(f(X, Y ) G)(ω) = E(f(x, Y ) G)(ω). Proof of Lemma: Let P be the partition corresponding to G. For each ω {X = x}, there is a B P, so that ω B {X = x}. (This is since X is G-measurable.) Then E(f(X, Y ) G)(ω) = E(f(X, Y ) B) = E(f(x, Y ) B) since X(ω) = x on B = E(f(x, Y ) G)(ω) When Y is independent of G QED consequently E(f(x, Y ) G)(ω) = E(f(x, Y )) E(f(X, Y ) G)(ω) = E(f(x, Y )) WInter Per A. Mykland
4 THE STRUCTURE OF EUROPEAN OPTIONS IN THE BINOMIAL TREE Payoff V = v T (S T ). Induction: assume value of option at t+1 is v t+1 (S t+1 ). Then where value of option at t = E π (e r v t+1 (S t+1 ) F t ) = E π (e r v t+1 (ZS t ) F t ) where Z = u or = d = v t (S t ) v t (s) = E π v t+1 (Zs) = π(h)v t+1 (us) + π(t )v t+1 (ds) WInter Per A. Mykland
5 A NON-MARKOV PROCESS M t = max 0 u t S u (from Shreve p. 48) WInter Per A. Mykland
6 CREATING A MARKOV PROCESS BY ADDING STATE VARIABLES M t = max 0 u t S u CLAIM: (S t, M t ) is a Markov process Proof: If S t = s and M t = m: with Z = u or d: S t+1 = sz and M t+1 = M t S t+1 = m sz (x y = max(x, y) and x y = min(x, y)) E(f(S t+1, M t+1 ) F t ) = E(f(sZ, m (sz))) = g(s, m) by appropriate definition of g QED It follows, by induction, that, for payoff v T (S T, M T ): value of option at t = v t (S t, M t ) General Theorem (Feynman-Kac): If X 0, X 1,..., X T is a Markov process under π (e.g. X t = (S t, M t )). For payoff v T (X T ), value of option at t = v t (X t ) for some function v t (x). WInter Per A. Mykland
