which includes stochasticalintegrals, binomial model, Black-Scholes models and the muti-
dimensional Black Scholes models.
Outcome of the subjects: Students will get more examples of asset pricing both from
complete and incomplete models.
Unit I: Brownian motion, stochastic integrals, Ito process, Ito formula, Girsanov
transformation and martingale representation theorem.
Unit II: Financial markets, derivatives, Binomial model, pricing European and American
Contingent claim.
Unit III:Definition of the finite market model, first and second fundamental theorems of
asset pricing, pricing European contingent claims, incomplete markets, separating hyper
plane theorem
Unit IV: Black-Scholes model, equivalent martingale measure, European contingent claims,
European contingent claims, pricing European contingent claims, Europeans call options –
Black-Scholes formula, American contingent claims and American call and put options.
Unit V: Multi-dimensional Black- Scholes model, first and second fundamental theorem of
asset pricing, from of equivalent local martingale measures, pricing European contingent
claims and incomplete markets.
