Brownian Motion

mercredi 15 octobre 2014

The time- t price of a stock is S(t). You are given:

(i) The stock’s price follows geometric Brownian motion with expected rate of price appreciation of 0 and σ = 0.2

(ii) S(0) = 40

Calculate Pr(S(5) > 50).



In the solution, ln(S(0)) is not added to the mean. Why is this? I thought ln(S(5)│S(0)) ~ N(lnS(0) + (ξ-.5σ^2 )t, σ^2 t).



In chp. 26, there is an example:



Interest rates follow a Rendleman-Bartter model with a = 0.001 and σ = 0.01. Current rates are 0.04. Calculate the probability that rates will be higher than 0.04 three months from now.



The solution adds ln(r(0)) to the mean.
