Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

After the successful completion of the course, students will be able to quote and use stochastic calculus; they can approach and solve simple stochastic integrals and stochastic differential equations and implement Monte Carlo simulations. Students will be able to use techniques of stochastic calculus and simulations in order to a) assess the market risk attached to interest rate based assets, b) calibrate interest rate models to market data, and c) correctly price interest rate based assets.
