Description
The second part deals with a number of classical continuous-time applications in Finance. First, three problems which areas based local on a no-arbitrage condition will be discussed: option pricing, structural models of credit risk, and the trade - off theory of the optimal capital structure. Second, portfolio theory and the characterization of expected asset returns in equilibrium will be analysed. These two problems were the first applications of the continuous-time finance approach. The last topics are devoted to no arbitrage term structure theories and to the general equilibrium theory as developed by Cox/I ngersoii/Ross.
