Random Evolutions (RE) Abstract Dynamical + Systems RE = Random Media Operator Evolution + Equations dV(t)/dt= T(x)V(t) Random Process x(t,w) dV(t,w)/dt=T(x(t,w))V(t,w)

Application of REs (Financial Mathematics) • Pricing Electricity Calls (R. Elliott, G. Sick and M. Stein, September 28, 2000, working paper) • The spot price S (t) of electricity S (t)=f (t) g (t) exp (X (t)) <a , Z (t))>, where f (t) is an annual periodic factor, g (t) is a daily periodic factor, X (t) is a scalar diffusion factor, Z (t) is a Markov chain.

Introduction to Swaps • Bachelier (1900)-used Brownian motion to model stock price • Samuelson (1965)-geometric Brownian motion • Black-Scholes (1973)-first option pricing formula • Merton (1973)-option pricing formula for jump model • Cox, Ingersoll & Ross (1985), Hull & White (1987) -stochastic volatility models • Heston (1993)-model of stock price with stochastic volatility • Brockhaus & Long (2000)-formulae forvariance and volatility swaps with stochastic volatility • He & Wang (RBC Financial Group) (2002)-variance, volatility, covariance, correlation swaps for deterministic volatility
Stock Bonds (bank accounts) Option Forward contract Swaps-agreements between two counterparts to exchange cash flows in the future to a prearrange formula Swaps Security-a piece of paper representing a promise Basic Securities Derivative Securities
Volatility swaps are forward contracts on future realized stock volatility Variance swaps are forward contract on future realized stock variance Variance and Volatility Swaps Forward contract-an agreement to buy or sell something at a future date for a set price (forward price) Variance is a measure of the uncertainty of a stock price. Volatility (standard deviation) is the square root of the variance (the amount of “noise”, risk or variability in stock price) Variance=(Volatility)^2
Types of Volatilities Deterministic Volatility= Deterministic Function of Time Stochastic Volatility= Deterministic Function of Time+Risk (“Noise”)
Deterministic Volatility • Realized (Observed) Variance and Volatility • Payoff for Variance and Volatility Swaps • Example
Realized Continuous Deterministic Variance and Volatility Realized (or Observed) Continuous Variance: Realized Continuous Volatility: where is a stock volatility, is expiration date or maturity.
Variance Swaps A Variance Swap is a forward contract on realized variance. Its payoff at expiration is equal to N is a notional amount ($/variance); Kvar is a strike price;
Volatility Swaps A Volatility Swap is a forward contract on realized volatility. Its payoff at expiration is equal to:
Example: Payoff for Volatility and Variance Swaps For Volatility Swap: a) volatility increased to 21%: Strike price Kvol =18% ; Realized Volatility=21%; N=$50,000/(volatility point). Payment(HF to D)=$50,000(21%-18%)=$150,000. b) volatility decreased to 12%: Payment(D to HF)=$50,000(18%-12%)=$300,000. For Variance Swap: Kvar = (18%)^2;N =$50,000/(one volatility point)^2.
Models of Stock Price • Bachelier Model (1900)-first model • Samuelson Model (1965)- Geometric Brownian Motion-the most popular
Simulated Brownian Motion and Paths of Daily Stock Prices Simulated Brownian motion Paths of daily stock prices of 5 German companies for 3 years
Bachelier Model of Stock Prices 1). L. Bachelier (1900) introduced the first model for stock price based on Brownian motion Drawback of Bachelier model: negative value of stock price
Geometric Brownian Motion 2). P. Samuelson (1965) introduced geometric (or economic, or logarithmic) Brownian motion
Standard Brownian Motion andGeometric Brownian Motion Standard Brownian motion Geometric Brownian motion
Stochastic Volatility Models • Cox-Ingersol-Ross (CIR) Model for Stochastic Volatility • Heston Model for Stock Price with Stochastic Volatility as CIR Model • Key Result: Explicit Solution of CIR Equation! We Use New Approach-Change of Time-to Solve CIR Equation • Valuing of Variance and Volatility Swaps for Stochastic Volatility
Heston Model for Stock Price and Variance Model for Stock Price (geometric Brownian motion): or deterministic interest rate, follows Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process
Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) Model for Stochastic Volatility The model is a mean-reverting process, which pushes away from zero to keep it positive. The drift term is a restoring force which always points towards the current mean value .
Key Result: Explicit Solution for CIR Equation Solution: Here
Valuing of Variance Swap forStochastic Volatility Value of Variance Swap (present value): where E is an expectation (or mean value), r is interest rate. To calculate variance swap we need only E{V}, where and
Valuing of Volatility Swap for Stochastic Volatility Value of volatility swap: We use second order Taylor expansion for square root function. To calculate volatility swap we need not only E{V} (as inthe case of variance swap), but also Var{V}.
Calculation of Var[V] Variance of V is equal to: We need EV^2, because we have (EV)^2:
Calculation of Var[V] (continuation) After calculations: Finally we obtain:

Swing Options • Financial Instrument (derivative) consisting of • An expiration time T>t; • A maximum number N of exercise times; • The selection of exercise times t1<=t2<=…<=tN; 4) the selection of amounts x1,x2,…, xN, xi=>0, i=1,2,…,N, so that x1+x2+…+xN<=H; 5) A refraction time d such that t<=t1<t1+d<=t2<t2+d<=t3<=…<=tN<=T; 6) There is a bound M such that xi<=M, i=1,2,…,N.
Pricing of Swing Options G(S) -payoff function (amount received per unit of the underlying commodity S if the option is exercised) b G (S)-reward, if b units of the swing are exercised
