David M. Kreps

The Black-Scholes-Merton Model as an Idealization of Discrete-Time Economies

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines whether continuous-time models in frictionless financial economies can be well approximated by discrete-time models. Mainstream financial economists and economic theorists who want to understand important ideas and results from the highly mathematical literature of financial mathematics will find this book an invaluable aid.
