  2. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • The general principles in this development are that • is Markov • Prices depend upon an assessment at time t of how will vary between t and T • The market is efficient, without transaction costs and all investors are rational.

  3. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • Suppose that Where W(t) is a Brownian motion under P The first two principles ensure that Thus, under a one-factor model, price changes for all bonds with different maturity dates are perfectly (but none-linearly) correlated.

  4. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • By Itô’s lemma • Where (a.1) (a.2)

  5. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • Consider two bonds with different maturity dates T1and T2 ( • At time t, suppose that we hold amounts in the -bond and in the -bond • Total wealth (1)

  6. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • The instantaneous investment gain from t to t+dt is

  7. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • We will vary and in such a way that the portfolio is risk-free. • Suppose that, for all t,then • By (1) and (2) (2)

  8. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • Hence, the instantaneous investment gain • Since the portfolio is risk-free, by the principle of no arbitrageand

  9. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • This must be true for all maturities. Thus, for all T>t • is the market price of risk. • Cannot depend on the maturity date • Can often be negative. (Since is usually negative, suppose the volatility be positive, we have Thus, must be negative to ensure that expected returns are greater than the risk-free rate.) (b)

  10. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • From (b), we have • And from (a.1) • Equate the two expressions,

  11. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • This is a suitable form to apply the Feynman-Kac formula • The boundary condition for this PDE

  12. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • By the Feynman-Kacformula there exists a suitable probability triple with filtration under which • (s) () is a Markov diffusion process with • Under the measure Q, satisfies the SDE • is a standard Brownian motion under Q

  13. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • Suppose that • satisfies the Novikov condition • We define • By Girsanov Theorem, there exists an equivalent measure Q under which (for ) is a Brownian motion and with Radon-Nikodym derivative

  14. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing Note that we have )

  15. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • The Feynman-Kacformula can be applied to interest rate derivative contracts. • Let be the price at time t of a derivative which will have only a payoff to the holder of at time T

  16. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • Suppose that • By Itô’slemma • From market price of risk

  17. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • From above, we will have • Apply to Feynman-Kac formula • subject to

  18. 4.3 The PDE Approach to Pricing • By the Feynman-Kacformula , we havewhere
