12.12 Assume that a non-dividend-paying stock has an expected return of U and a volatility of Q, an innovative financial institution has just announced that it will trade a derivative that pays off a dollar amount equal to 1/T* ln(ST/S0) at time T. the variables S0 and ST denote the value of the stock price at time zero and time T
A. Describe the payoff from this derivative.
B. use the risk-neutral valuation to calculate the price of the derivative at time zero.
不太明白第二步求的是derivative 的价格,用分布得到的期望只是其增长率,怎么才是它的价格,我看了答案里有道题和它很象,题目里的return 是 ln(ST), 这个在算的时候就是把增长率的期望乘上时间因素就是答案了,不是很清楚,望高人指点一下。
