4 Brownian Moion Consider a random walk x +nδ wih equally likely incremens of ± Δ. Le he ime sep of he random walk shrink o zero: Δ 0. The limi is a coninuous-ime process called Brownian moion, which we denoe Z, or Z (). We always se Z 0 = 0. Brownian moion is a basic building block of coninuous-ime models. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
5 Properies of Brownian Moion Brownian moion has independen incremens: if < <, hen Z Z is independen of Z Z. Incremens of he Brownian moion have normal disribuion wih zero mean, and variance equal o he ime inerval beween he observaion poins Thus, for example, Z Z N(0, ) E [Z Z ] = 0 Inuiion: Cenral Limi Theorem applied o he random walk. Trajecories of he Brownian moion are coninuous. Trajecories of he Brownian moion are nowhere differeniable, herefore sandard calculus rules do no apply. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
6 Io Inegral Io inegral, also called he sochasic inegral (wih respec o he Brownian moion) is an objec σ u dz u where σ u is a sochasic process. 0 Imporan: σ u can depend on he pas hisory of Z u, bu i canno depend on he fuure. σ u is called adaped o he hisory of he Brownian moion. Consider discree-ime approximaions N σ (i 1)Δ (Z iδ Z (i 1)Δ ), i=1 Δ = N and hen ake he limi of N (he limi mus be aken in he mean-squared-error sense). The limi is well defined, and is called he Io inegral. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
7 Properies of Iô Inegral Iô inegral is linear (a u + c b u ) dz u = a u dz u + c b u dz u X = σ 0 u dz u, is coninuous as a funcion of ime. Incremens of X have condiional mean of zero (under some echnical resricions on σ u ): E [X X ] = 0, > T T Noe: a sufficien condiion for E σ u dz u = 0 is E 0 0 σ2 u du <. Incremens of X are uncorrelaed over ime. If σ is a deerminisic funcion of ime and σ 2 du <, hen X 0 u is normally disribued wih mean zero, and variance E 0 [X 2 2 ] = σ u du 0 c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
8 Iô Processes An Iô process is a coninuous-ime sochasic process X, or X(), of he form µ u du + σ u dz u 0 0 µ u is called he insananeous drif of X a ime u, and σ u is called he insananeous volailiy, or he diffusion coefficien. µ d capures he expeced change of X beween and + d. σ dz capures he unexpeced (sochasic) componen of he change of X beween and + d.

Assume he sock does no pay dividends and he price process of he sock is given by S = S 0 exp µ 1 σ 2 + σz 2 Because Brownian moion is normally disribued, using E 0 [exp(z )] = exp(/2), find Using Iô s Lemma (check) E 0 [S ] = S 0 exp(µ) ds = µ d + σ dz S µ is he expeced coninuously compounded sock reurn, σ is he volailiy of sock reurns.

Then W θ S dollars are invesed in he shor-erm risk-free bond. Porfolio is self-financing: no exogenous incoming or ougoing cash flows. Porfolio value changes according o dw = θ ds + (W θ S )r d Discree-ime analogy B +Δ W +Δ W = θ (S +Δ S ) + (W θ S ) 1 B c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
18 Opion Replicaion Consider a European opion wih he payoff H(S T ). We will consruc a self-financing porfolio replicaing he payoff of he opion. Look for he porfolio such ha for some funcion f (, S ). W = f (, S ) By Law of One Price, f (, S ) mus be he price of he opion a ime, being he cos of a rading sraegy wih an idenical payoff. Noe ha he self-financing condiion is imporan for he above argumen: we do no wan he porfolio o produce inermediae cash flows. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74

20 Black-Scholes Opion Price We conclude ha he opion price can be compued as a soluion of he Black-Scholes PDE f f 1 2 f r f + + rs + σ 2 S 2 = 0 S 2 S 2 If he opion is a European call wih srike K, he PDE can be solved in closed form, yielding he Black-Scholes formula: C(, S ) = S N(z 1 ) exp( r(t ))KN(z 2 ), where N(.) is he cumulaive disribuion funcion of he sandard normal disribuion, log S K + r σ 2 (T ) z 1 =, σ T and z 2 = z 1 σ T. Noe ha µ does no ener he PDE or he B-S formula. This is inuiive from he perspecive of risk-neural pricing. Discuss laer. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
21 Black-Scholes Opion Replicaion The replicaing sraegy requires holding f (, S ) θ = S sock shares in he porfolio. θ is called he opion s dela. I is possible o replicae any opion in he Black-Scholes seing because Price of he sock S is driven by a Brownian moion; Rebalancing of he replicaing porfolio is coninuous; There is a single Brownian moion affecing he payoff of he opion and he price of he sock.

We wan o consruc an arbirage-free model capuring, simulaneously, he dynamics of bond prices of many differen mauriies. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74

Self-financing requires ha he invesmen in he risk-free shor-erm bond is W P(, τ) P(, τ στ + στ ) σ τ c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74

25 Single-Facor Term Srucure Model We conclude ha µ τ r P(, τ) = µ τ r P(, τ ), for any τ and τ σ τ Assume ha, for some τ, Then, for all bonds, mus have σ τ µ τ r P(, τ ) = η(, r ) σ τ µ τ r P(, τ) = η(, r )σ τ Recall he definiion of µ τ, σ τ o derive he pricing PDE on P(, τ) = f (, r, τ) f f 1 2 f f + α(r) + β 2 (r) rf = η(, r)β(r), f (τ, r, τ) = 1 r 2 r 2 r The soluion, indeed, has he form f (, r, τ). c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
26 Single-Facor Term Srucure Model Wha if µ τ r P(, τ) σ τ = η(, r ) for any funcion η, i.e., he LHS depends on somehing oher han r and? Then he erm srucure will no have a single-facor form. We have seen ha, for each choice of η(, r ), absence of arbirage implies ha bond prices mus saisfy he pricing PDE. The reverse is rue: if bond prices saisfy he pricing PDE (wih well-behaved η(, r )), here is no arbirage (show laer, using risk-neural pricing). The choice of η(, r ) deermines he join arbirage-free dynamics of bond prices (yields). η(, r ) is he price of ineres rae risk. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74

52 Risk-Neural Probabiliy Measure Under he risk-neural probabiliy measure Q, expeced condiional asse reurns mus equal he risk-free rae. Alernaively, using he discouned cash flow formula, he price P of an asse wih payoff H T a ime T is given by T P = E Q exp r s ds H T where r s is he insananeous risk-free ineres rae a ime s. The DCF formula under he risk-neural probabiliy can be used o compue asse prices by Mone Carlo simulaion (e.g., using an Euler scheme o approximae he soluions of SDEs). Alernaively, one can derive a PDE characerizing asse prices using he connecion beween PDEs and SDEs. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74
53 Change of Measure We ofen wan o consider a probabiliy measure Q differen from P, bu he one ha agrees wih P on which evens have zero probabiliy (equivalen o P) (e.g., Q could be a risk-neural measure). Differen probabiliy measures assign differen relaive likelihoods o he rajecories of he Brownian moion.

54 Change of Measure If we consider a probabiliy measure Q differen from P, bu he one ha agrees wih P on which evens have zero probabiliy, hen he P-Brownian moion Z P becomes an Io process under Q: dz P = dz Q η d for some η. Z Q is a Brownian moion under Q. When we change probabiliy measures his way, only he drif of he Brownian moion changes, no he variance. Inuiion: a probabiliy measure assigns relaive likelihood o differen rajecories of he Brownian moion. Variance of he Io process can be recovered from he shape of a single rajecory (quadraic variaion), so i does no depend on he relaive likelihood of he rajecories, hence, does no depend on he choice of he probabiliy measure. c Leonid Kogan ( MIT, Sloan ) Sochasic Calculus , Fall / 74

If here exiss a unique risk-neural probabiliy measure in a model, hen all opions are redundan and can be replicaed by rading in he underlying asses and he risk-free bond. A convenien way o build arbirage-free models is o describe hem direcly under he risk-neural probabiliy. One does no need o describe he P measure explicily o specify an arbirage-free model.
