Monte Carlo Computation in Finance
نویسنده
چکیده
This advanced tutorial aims at an exposition of problems in finance that are worthy of study by the Monte Carlo research community. It describes problems in valuing and hedging securities, risk management, portfolio optimization, and model calibration. It surveys some areas of active research in efficient procedures for simulation in finance and addresses the impact of the business context on the opportunities for efficiency. There is an emphasis on the many challenging problems in which it is necessary to perform several similar simulations.

GPGPUs in computational finance: massive parallel computing for American style options
The pricing of American style and multiple exercise options is a very challenging problem in mathematical finance. One usually employs a Least-Square Monte Carlo approach (Longstaff-Schwartz method) for the evaluation of conditional expectations which arise in the Backward Dynamic Programming principle for such optimal stopping or stochastic control problems in a Markovian framework. Unfortunat...
متن کاملPolynomial processes and their applications to mathematical finance
We introduce a class of Markov stochastic processes called mpolynomial, for which the calculation of (mixed) moments up to order m only requires the computation of matrix exponentials. This class contains affine processes, Feller processes with quadratic squared diffusion coefficient, as well as Lévy-driven SDEs with affine vector fields. Thus, many popular models such as the classical Black-Sc...
متن کاملMonte Carlo computation of dose deposited by carbon ions in radiation therapy
Background: High-velocity carbon ion beams represent the most advanced tool for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors. Currently, the superiority of carbon ion therapy is more prominent on lung cancer or hepatomas. Materials and Methods: The data for lateral straggling and projected range of monoenergetic 290 MeV/u (3.48 GeV) carbon ions in muscle tissue were obtained from the stopping and range o...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Method and Algorithmic Differentiation: Fast Second Order Greeks
We show how Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation can be combined with the so-called Pathwise Derivative and Likelihood Ratio Method to construct efficient Monte Carlo estimators of second order price sensitivities of derivative portfolios. We demonstrate with a numerical example how the proposed technique can be straightforwardly implemented to greatly reduce the computation time of second order...
متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
