Recursive Approaches for the Evaluation of Financial Derivatives
Michèle Breton – Professeure titulaire, Département de sciences de la décision, HEC Montréal, Canada
The evaluation of financial derivatives regularly requires the use of numerical procedures. The talk will present the basic concepts of recursive modeling, show how it is the basis of most numerical methods for pricing derivatives, and discuss the relative efficiency of existing procedures. Various applications will be presented to illustrate the flexibility and applicability of recursive approaches.
