option pricing model in practice There are some models to evaluate the “fair price” of the financial derivatives, like Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model(below; BSMOPM), or Binomial Option Pricing Model(below; BOPM). In the class, we have learned how those models work. But there may be a question. Does the price calculated by above models make a consistency with the market? The goals of this team project are the answering that question and reasoning the answer. Part. 1:

Monte Carlo simulations and option pricing by Bingqian Lu Undergraduate Mathematics Department Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Project Supervisor: Professor Anna Mazzucato July, 2011 Abstract Monte Carlo simulation is a legitimate and widely used technique for dealing with uncertainty in many aspects of business operations. The purpose of this report is to explore the application of this technique to the stock volality and to test its accuracy by comparing the result

A Novel Simple but Empirically Consistent Model for Stock Price and Option Pricing HUADONG(HENRY) PANG∗ Quantitative Research, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 277 Park Ave., New York, NY, 10017 Third draft, May 16, 2009 Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel simple but empirically very consistent stochastic model for stock price dynamics and option pricing, which not only has the same analyticity as log-normal and Black-Scholes model, but can also capture and explain all the main puzzles and phenomenons

The rational behind the economic theory of choice is to choose out of certain economic outcomes and representing the preferences through maximisation of the utility function of the outcomes.

Future of Finance Finance is the study of how investors allocate their assets over time under conditions of certainty and uncertainty. The term financial crisis is applied broadly to a variety of situations in which some financial institutions or assets suddenly lose a large part of their value. In the 19th 20th and early 21st centuries, many financial crises were associated with banking fears, and many recessions coincided with these fears. Other circumstances that are often called financial crises
