The Paper reports a basic Experiment on the option pricing approach. Each trader with an increasing utility for money values the option with his arbitrage free price, which is independent of the probability of the stock movement.

In this paper we analyze in what way the demand generated by dynamic hedging strategies affects the equilibrium prices of the underlying asset. We derive an explicit expression for the transformation of market volatility under the impact of hedging. It turns out that market volatility increases...

We review the continuous--time literature on the so-- called direct approach to bond option pricing. Going back to Ball and Torous (1983), this approach models bond price processes directly (i.e. without reference to interest rates or state variable processes) and applies methods that Black and...

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical method to solve partial stochastic differential equations. This concept remains the differential operator unchanged but discretizes the dimension of the problem. The response function will be decomposed by the Karhunen--Loeve expansion and...
