Monte Carlo methods in finance

Monte Carlo methods for option pricing

In mathematical finance, a Monte Carlo option model uses Monte Carlo methods to calculate the value of an option with multiple sources of uncertainty or with complicated features. The first application to option pricing was by Phelim Boyle in 1977 (for European options). In 1996, M. Broadie and P. Glasserman showed how to price Asian options by Monte Carlo. An important development was the introduction in 1996 by Carriere of Monte Carlo methods for options with early exercise features. (Wikipedia).

Lecture 6: Pricing Options with Monte Carlo

Lecturer: Prof. Shimon Benninga We show how to price Asian and barrier options using MC. A starting point is an extended example of how to use MC to price plain vanilla calls. This example illustrates the basic principles of MC pricing for options.

Monte Carlo Integration In Python For Noobs

Monte Carlo is probably one of the more straightforward methods of numerical Integration. It's not optimal if working with single-variable functions, but nonetheless is easy to use, and readily generalizes to multi-variable functions. In this video I motivate the method, then solve a one-d
