Stochastic Calculus and Finance

BeschreibungThe course will provide rigorous yet focused training in stochastic calculus and finance. The program will cover modern approaches in stochastic calculus and mathematical finance. Topics to be covered:
  1. Stochastic Calculus. Stochastic Processes, Brownian Motion and Martingales, Stopping Times, Local martingales, Doob-Meyer Decomposition, Quadratic Variation, Stochastic Integration, Ito Formula, Girsanov Theorem, Jump-diffusion Processes. Stable and tempered stable processes. Levy processes.
  2. Mathematical Finance: Pricing Models. The Black-Scholes Model, State prices and Equivalent Martingale Measure, Complete Markets and Redundant Security Prices, Arbitrage Pricing with Dividends, Term-Structure Models (One Factor Models, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross Model, Affine Models), Term-Structure Derivatives and Hedging, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Derivative Assets (Forward Prices, Future Contracts, American Options, Look-back Options), Option pricing with tempered stable and Levy-Processes and volatility clustering, Optimal Portfolio and Consumption Choice (Stochastic Control and Merton continuous time optimization problem), Equilibrium models, Consumption-Based CAPM, Numerical Methods.

ZielNach erfolgreichem Besuch dieser Vorlesung werden viele gängige Verfahren zur Preisbestimmung und Portfoliomodelle im Finance verstanden werden. Der Fokus liegt aber nicht nur auf dem Finance alleine, sondern auch auf der dahinterliegenden Theorie.
PrüfungDie Erfolgskontrolle erfolgt in Form einer schriftlichen Prüfung (Klausur) nach §4, Abs. 2, 1 SPO und eventuell durch weitere Leistungen als Erfolgskontrolle anderer Art nach §4, Abs. 2, 3 SPO.
