This four-volume handbook covers important concepts and tools used in the fields of financial econometrics, mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. Econometric methods have been applied in asset pricing, corporate finance, international finance, options and futures, risk management, and in stress testing for financial institutions. This handbook discusses a variety of econometric methods, including single equation multiple regression, simultaneous equation regression, and panel data analysis, among others. It also covers statistical distributions, such as the binomial and log normal distributions, in light of their applications to portfolio theory and asset management in addition to their use in research regarding options and futures contracts.In both theory and methodology, we need to rely upon mathematics, which includes linear algebra, geometry, differential equations, Stochastic differential equation (Ito calculus), optimization, constrained optimization, and others. These forms of mathematics have been used to derive capital market line, security market line (capital asset pricing model), option pricing model, portfolio analysis, and others.In recent times, an increased importance has been given to computer technology in financial research. Different computer languages and programming techniques are important tools for empirical research in finance. Hence, simulation, machine learning, big data, and financial payments are explored in this handbook.Led by Distinguished Professor Cheng Few Lee from Rutgers University, this multi-volume work integrates theoretical, methodological, and practical issues based on his years of academic and industry experience.

Futures and Options are concerned with the valuation of derivatives and their application to hedging and speculating investments. This book contains 22 chapters and is divided into five parts. Part I contains an overview including a general introduction as well as an introduction to futures, options, swaps, and valuation theories. Part II: Forwards and Futures discusses futures valuation, the futures market, hedging strategies, and various types of futures. Part III: Option Theories and Applications includes both the basic and advanced valuation of options and option strategies in addition to index and currency options. Part IV: Advanced Analyses of Options takes a look at higher level strategies used to quantitatively approach the analysis of options. Part V: Special Topics of Options and Futures covers the applications of more obscure and alternative methods in derivatives as well as the derivation of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.This book applies an active interdisciplinary approach to presenting the material; in other words, three projects involving the use of real-world financial data on derivative, in addition to homework assignments, are made available for students in this book.

Le développement de nouveaux instruments financiers et la prise de conscience par les agents économiques des enjeux sont les deux évolutions majeures qui ont marqué la gestion des risques d’entreprise ces dernières années. Un double mouvement de financiarisation se produit dans cet environnement, celui des modes de transfert des risques et celui de la gouvernance. Dans ce contexte, le management des risques devient une source de création de valeur pour l'entreprise. Véritable panorama de ces évolutions et de leurs impacts sur la gestion des organisations, cet ouvrage présente successivement l'historique du management des risques d'entreprise, les processus mis en œuvre, les outils utilisés et enfin le rôle des principales fonctions de l'entreprise et leur contribution à la création de valeur par la gestion des risques.

This book illustrates the application of the economic concept of stochastic dominance to option markets and presents an alternative option pricing paradigm to the prevailing no arbitrage simultaneous equilibrium in the frictionless underlying and option markets. This new methodology was developed primarily by the author, working independently or jointly with other co-authors, over the course of more than thirty years. Among others, it yields the fundamental Black-Scholes-Merton option value when markets are complete, presents a new approach to the pricing of rare event risk, and uncovers option mispricing that leads to tradeable strategies in the presence of transaction costs. In the latter case it shows how a utility-maximizing investor trading in the market and a riskless bond, subject to proportional transaction costs, can increase his/her expected utility by overlaying a zero-net-cost portfolio of options bought at their ask price and written at their bid price, irrespective of the specific form of the utility function. The book contains a unified presentation of these methods and results, making it a highly readable supplement for educators and sophisticated professionals working in the popular field of option pricing. It also features a foreword by George Constantinides, the Leo Melamed Professor of Finance at the Booth School of Business, University of Chicago, USA, who was a co-author in several parts of the book.

Stochastic Dominance Bounds on Option Prices in the Presence of Transaction Costs

This paper investigates the multi-period upper bound on the European call price in the presence of transaction costs derived by Constantinides-Perrakis (2002). Numerical results verifying an assumption of the monotonictity of wealth of the call writer in the underlying asset on which the Constantinides-Perrakis (2002) model relies are derived, and it is shown that the assumption is satisfied for relatively small ratios of stock to option account. The classic second order stochastic dominance argument is applied to the dynamic trading in discrete time in the S & P 500 options under the portfolio selection criteria in the presence of transaction costs. It is shown that the improvement in expected utility does occur under the prescribed investment policy in the S & P 500 calls whose prices exceed the bound. Under the lognormality of the S & P 500 price process, the quantitative improvement in expected utility is derived.
