Marking and credit
This project contributes 90% towards the final mark for the module.
The project will be marked anonymously. Do not include your name, student number or
any identifying details in your work.
In each exercise, marks are allocated for both coding (style, clarity and correctness) and
accuracy of numerical results, as well as explanations and written work (including comments and docstrings in the code). The marks indicated are indicative only.
Partial credit will be given for partial completion of an exercise, for example, if you are
able to do a Monte Carlo estimate with fewer paths or time steps.
It may prove impossible to examine projects containing code that does not run, or does
not allow data to be changed. In such cases a mark of 0 will be recorded. It is therefore
essential that all files are tested thoroughly in Colab before being submitted in Moodle.
Academic integrity
You may use and adapt any code submitted by yourself as part of this module, including
your own solutions to the exercises. You may use and adapt all Python code provided
in Moodle or on GitHub as part of this module, without the need for acknowledgement.
Any code not written by yourself must be acknowledged and referenced.
This is an individual project. You must not collaborate with anybody else or use code
that has not been provided in Moodle without acknowledgment. This includes, for example, discussing the questions with other students, actively using discussion forums or
using generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT). Please consult the University’s
Student guidance on using AI and translation tools and Policy on Acceptable Assistance
with Assessment. Collusion and plagiarism detection software will be used to detect
academic misconduct, and suspected offences will be investigated.
Submission instructions
Submit your work by uploading it in Moodle by 4pm on 31 May. Work should be submitted as follows:
• Code (and numerical results) should be submitted in the form of Colab notebooks.
Code will be tested using unseen test data: use variables to store parameters rather
than values hard-wired into your code.
2
• Written text should be submitted in pdf format. Scans of handwritten text are acceptable, provided that they are legible.
• Use a separate set of files (ipynb and pdf, as appropriate) for parts 1 (Black-Scholes
model) and 2 (Local volatility model). “Part1.ipynb” or “part1.pdf” are examples of
sensible filenames.
Late submissions will incur a penalty according to the standard rules for late submission
of assessed work. It is advisable to allow enough time (at least one hour) to upload your
files to avoid possible congestion in Moodle. In the unlikely event of technical problems
in Moodle please email your files in a zip archive to alet.roux@york.ac.uk before the
deadline.
1 Black-Scholes model
Consider a risky asset with stock price S that follows geometric Brownian motion below
under the risk neutral measure Q, in other words,
 dS_t = r S_t dt + sigma S_t dW^Q_t
or, equivalently,
 S_t = S_0e^{(r-sigma ^2/2)t + sigma W^Q_t},
where r is the risk free rate, sigma is the volatility and W^Q is a standard Brownian motion
under Q.

1.1 Historical volatility
A popular way of calibrating the volatility sigma is to estimate it from historical data. Suppose
that stock prices S_i (i=0,1,ldots ,m ) have been recorded at some fixed time intervals of
length au >0 measured in years (for example, au =1/12 for monthly recorded stock prices).
The log returns on these prices over each time interval of length au are
 R_i=ln (S_i/S_{i-1})
for i=1,ldots ,m . The sample variance of these returns is s^2 , where
 s^2=frac {1}{m-1}sum _{i=1}^mleft (R_{i}-overline {R} ight )^{2},
where protect overline {R} = frac {1}{m}sum _{i=1}^m R_{i}. The sample variance s^2 estimates the variance sigma ^2 au of the log return
on the stock price over a time interval of length au . It follows that
 hat {sigma }_{ ext {hist}}=frac {s}{sqrt { au }}
is an estimate for the volatility sigma . This is called historical volatility.
Exercise 1.1 (Coding task: 10% of project mark). Write a function that calculates the historical volatility of a given set of stock prices. It should have two arguments: a NumPy array
of stock prices, as well as au , and return the estimate protect hat {sigma }_{ ext {hist}} .
Then use your code to calculate and display the historical volatility of the Warner
Bros. Discovery, Inc. stock prices. You should copy and paste the code given above into
your Colab notebook in order to download the data.
1.2 Binomial tree approximation
The continuous process S can be approximated by a binary tree. One approach is based
on the log price process x defined as
 x_t = ln S_t.
A binomial tree for x on the interval [0,T] can be built by taking Delta t = T/M , where M is
the number of steps in the tree. The steps are at the equidistant times
 t_i = iDelta t ext { for } i=0,ldots ,M,
and x^{(M)}_i is the relevant approximation of x_{t_i} .
6
Consider the binomial tree approximation of x in which, at any time t_i and over a small
time interval Delta t, the approximation x^{(M)}_i of x_{t_i} can go up by Delta x (the space step, to be
determined), or go down by Delta x, with probabilities q and 1-q , respectively, i.e.
 x^{(M)}_{i+1} = egin {cases} x^{(M)}_i + Delta x & ext {with probability } q x^{(M)}_i - Delta x & ext {with probability } 1-q. end {cases}
The drift and volatility parameters of the continuous time process are now captured by
Delta x and Delta t, together with the parameters r and sigma . We take x^{(M)}_0 = x_0 .
Exercise 1.2 (Binomial tree approximation: 25% of project mark). Design a binary tree
method that approximates the Black-Scholes model and can be used to price European
options. Your work should include the following:
1. Written work:
(a) Compute the conditional first and second moments of x_{t+Delta t} - x_t in the
continuous-time model and x^{(M)}_{i+1}-x^{(M)}_i in the binomial tree model.
(b) Given the value of Delta t, derive formulae for Delta x and q in terms of r and sigma by
matching the first and second moments of the continuous-time model and the
binomial tree model.
(c) State the algorithm used for pricing a European-style derivative security with
payoff at time T given by f(S_T) .
2. Write a Python function that uses the tree approximation to calculate the price at
time 0 of a European style derivative security with payoff at time T given by f(S_T) .
Your function should take the arguments S_0 , T, r, sigma , M and f.
3. Use your code to price a derivative with payoff
 f(S) = egin {cases} S^{ 1.9 } & ext {if } S < K, 0 & ext {otherwise}end {cases}
and the following data:
• T = 0.5 .
• r = 0.03 .
• sigma = hat {sigma }_{ ext {hist}} as calculated for the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. data (use sigma =0.3 if
you were not able to calculate protect hat {sigma }_{ ext {hist}} ).
• S_0 as the final item in the array of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. data.
• M = 180 .
• K = S_0 .

2 Local volatility model
A model for a stock S is given by the stochastic differential equation
 phantomsection label {eq-local-vol-model}{dS_t = r S_t dt + sigma (t, S_t) S_t dW_t^Q,} (1)
where r is the risk-free interest rate and W^Q is a Brownian motion under the risk-neutral
probability Q. The function sigma is defined as
 sigma (t,S) = 0.25 e^{ -0.03 t} left (frac { 105 }{S} ight )^{ 0.4 }.
The aim of this part of the project is to use Monte Carlo and finite difference techniques to
study a European style derivative where the payoff at time T=1 is
 X = egin {cases} (S_T - 110)^+ & ext {if } S_t ge 100 ext { for all } tin [0,T], 0 & ext {otherwise.} end {cases}
Take S_0=£105 and r=0.05 .
2.1 Option pricing
The aim in this section is to approximate the price of the put option at time 0 for a range
of stock price values.
2.1.1 Monte Carlo method
Exercise 2.1 (Monte Carlo estimate: 30% of project mark). Implement Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the price of this derivative at time 0 under Q. Use the Euler method, and
antithetic variates to reduce the variance of the estimate.
Your work should include a statement of the Monte Carlo algorithm that you are using.
Report the Monte Carlo estimate of the price, the standard error and an approximate 95%
confidence interval with 10000 paths and 20000 steps per path.
Hint: To reduce the discretization error, apply the Euler method to the process Y defined
as Y_t=ln S_t instead of to S directly. Use the Itô formula to derive a stochastic differential
equation for Y.

2.1.2 Finite difference methods
The price of a path-independent option at time t can be expressed as V(t,S_t) , where the
function V satisfies the partial differential equation
 phantomsection label {eq-local-vol-pde}{frac {partial V}{partial t}(t,S) + r S frac {partial V}{partial S}(t,S) + frac {1}{2}sigma ^2(t,S)S^2frac {partial ^2 V}{partial S^2}(t,S) - rV(t,S) = 0} (2)
for all tin [0,T) and S>0 , together with boundary condition
 V(t, 100) = 0
and final value
 V(T, S) = egin {cases} (S - 110)^+ & ext {if } S ge 100, 0 & ext {otherwise}. end {cases}
Exercise 2.2 (Backward Euler method: 25% of project mark). Design an implicit (backward Euler) finite difference scheme to approximate the solution to the partial differential
equation in Equation 2. Your work should include the following:
1. Convert the final value problem into an initial value problem, and define a suitable
grid that contains the points (0,100) and (0,S_0) .
2. Propose an appropriate boundary condition for S ightarrow infty .
3. Derive the iterative scheme in matrix form that would allow you to approximate
the value of V at the grid points. Give the lower diagonal, main diagonal and upper
diagonal elements of the matrix.
4. Write a Python function to implement the iterative scheme. Your function should
have suitable arguments and return values.
5. Compare your results to the Monte Carlo estimate. Is it possible to choose values
for the step sizes that result in the price V(0,S_0) being within the confidence interval
produced by the Monte Carlo method?
6. Report numerical results in an appropriate way, for example, via a 3d surface representing option prices for all tin [0,T] and a 2d graph representing option prices at
time t=0 , all for a range of S.
2.2 Theta
Exercise 2.3 (Theta: 10% of project mark). Approximate the value of the theta Theta = frac {partial V}{partial au } at
all the grid points used for the finite difference approximation in Exercise 2.2. Your work
should include the following:
