Learning objectives

The course is prepared for students who followed the courses “Stochastic Models for Finance” and “Mathematical Finance”. The Black-Scholes model is considered a prerequisite. The objective of the course is to describe and analyze the main mathematical models used for the valuation of financial derivatives. The course is divided into four pillars, which correspond to the four main financial markets: interest rate derivatives, credit derivatives, equity derivatives and FX derivatives. The course will also introduce practical tools for the implementation of the mathematical models with standard scientific software, and the calibration of these models to market data.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Financial Mathematics: strongly recommended

Program

1. The Black and Scholes model
a. Absence of arbitrage and risk-neutral probabilities
b. Lognormal model
c. Option valuation
d. Hedging
2. Interest rate derivatives
a. FRA, swaps
b. Black's model: caps, floors, swaptions
c. Short term models: Vasicek, CIR
d. Currency options
3. Credit derivatives
a. Exponential distribution and stopping times
b. Reduced form models for credit risk
c. Risky bonds evaluation
d. Credit default swaps
f. Credit Valuation Adjustment
4. Stochastic volatility models
a. The limitations of the Black and Scholes model
b. Stochastic volatility in continuous time: Hull and White, Heston, SABR
c. Model free implied volatility: the VIX index

Learning assessment procedures

Written exam + Project Work

** In case of sanitary emergency
In case the exam cannot be given because of sanitary emergency linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, the exam can be given in different forms, including online.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The written exam will evaluate the solution of exercises.

The Project Work, to be decided with the Teacher, is a small paper, with length less than 10 pages, dealing with one of the following jobs:
1) application of a model to market data
2) a simulation or numerical approximation of proposed models
3) the valuation of a contract involving derivatives
4) a valuable discussion of some part of the theory
5) the discussion of a recent scientific article
The Project Work needs to be completed to gain access to the written exam. It can be re-submitted. The final valuation will use the latest Project Work submitted.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Written exam (70%) + Project Work (30%).

Type D and Type F activities

Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").

Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.

Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.

Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dal Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Management e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.

Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.

COMPETENZE TRASVERSALI
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal  Teaching and learning centre dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti iscritti ai corsi di laurea, volti alla promozione delle competenze trasversali: https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali


ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, inlcuse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
