Mathematical Finance: Theory Review and Exercises

From Binomial Model to Risk Measures

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book collects over 120 exercises on different subjects of Mathematical Finance, including Option Pricing, Risk Theory, and Interest Rate Models. Many of the exercises are solved, while others are only proposed. Every chapter contains an introductory section illustrating the main theoretical results necessary to solve the exercises. The book isintended as an exercise textbook to accompany graduate courses in mathematical finance offered at many universities as part of degree programs in Applied and Industrial Mathematics, Mathematical Engineering, and Quantitative Finance.

Autorenporträt

Emanuela Rosazza Gianin is Professor of Mathematical Finance at Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods at the University of Milano Bicocca in Italy. Before working there with different positions, she worked at University of Naples Federico II, still in Italy, as Assistant Professor. Her research interests focus on different aspects of risk measures, insurance premia and pricing, as well as on Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and their applications to Mathematical Finance. She has published about 30 papers in international scientific journals and two textbooks for Springer. Carlo Sgarra is Associate Professor of Mathematical Finance at Politecnico di Milano. The main subjects of his research are exotic option pricing, valuation problems in incomplete market models, in particular stochastic volatility models, models with jumps and models with transaction cost. His most recent projects are focused on energy market models and pricing and hedging of energy commodity derivatives: parameter estimation methods and risk premium valuation for different model classes. He published about 30 papers on international journals and three textbooks on Mathematical Finance.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"This work is a very useful companion volume to courses in mathematical finance, and it can also be successfully used for self-study." (László Imre Szabó, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged), Vol. 80 (1-2), 2014)
