Derivative pricing in discrete timeDefinitions & notations

Derivative: financial product defined from another underlying asset

·
: price of derivative (call)
C

We will look at 3 main approaches to determine the price Ct

For these underlying assets we can work backwards when we know the value at t = 1, using discount factor erT

How can we now price the derivative using these underlying assets, Co ?

We rule out arbitrage opportunities and impose law of one price: a portfolio with payoff zero has price zero:

g1-q
This q is the risk-neutral probability,
this brings us to the second method
&
2
Risk-neutral valuation: construct a risk neutral probability measure Q under which the derivative price
equals the Q-expected discounted payoffs
e T(eu (1 g)) e z(e ]
Hence we find g
2 = + + ed + -
=
+
note we do not use the p probabilities as this is irrelevant for Co
We could also exploit this idea to a market with N assets and n states, the risk-neutral measure can be
uniquely determined if N = n
Complete market: any derivative with payoff depending on underlying assets can be replicated
>
Incomplete markets: no-arbitrage still may provide bounds on derivate prices, which price is realized
depends on market risk preferences

this happens when , hence more states then underlying assetsn2 N
, Binomial tree
The binary model is not rich enough in practice, we need more states and time periods, we introduce the
binomial tree: series of binary trees

Using these binomial tree, we can calculate Co using backward pricing
