The purpose of this problem is to price options based on real data with the Black-Scholes model. Consider your selected stock for the semester (used in Prob. 2 of HW#4) and the same options considered in that problem. Remember that the parameters μ and σ were already estimated in part (a) of that problem. You are welcome to consider the dates and parameters obtained then, or reestimate the data with more up-to-date data, it's up to you. Also notice that the parameter μ for the Black-Scholes model is slightly different than it is for the CRR model. (a) Price the call options using the Black-Scholes formula, using the parameters esti- mated from your data. (b) Compare your results to the market price and comment on the accuracy of your results and what could explain the differences. (c) Repeat question (a) and (b) for the put options, either using the Black-Scholes formula for a put or the put-call parity formula (see Prob. 1). Comment on the accuracy of your results and explain any discrepancies between your estimate and the market price.

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
In the area of Russia récords were kept on the relationship between the rain Fall in inches and the yield of wheat (bushels per acre ).the data for a 9 year period is as follow. Rain fall x 13.1,11.4,16.0,15.1,21.4,12.9,9.6,18.2,18.6. yield y : 48.5,44.2,56.8,80.4,47.2,29.9,74.0,74.0,76.8 the equation of the line of least squares is given as ^y= -9.12+4.38x. How many bushels of wheat peen acre can be predicted if it’s is expected that there will be 30 inches of rain?
In economics we are often faced with causal problems where the endogeneity arises because of simultaneity. A classic example is that if you are interested in estimating a demand curve, the issue is what you observe in the data are equli- birum and prices and quantity which is not only a function of demand but also a function of supply. In this excercise we will generalize the problem of simultaneity bias. Consider a situation where we are interested in the effect of Ti on Yi, i.e. obtaining a consistent estimate of α. But Yi also effects Ti. Let Xi be some exogenous covariates affecting both Yi and Ti. Let us imagine you have an exogenous variable Z which only effects Ti but does not directly effect Yi. In particular, consider the following structural equations: Yi = αTi+Xi′β+ui (1) Ti = ρYi+Xi′γ+Ziδ+νi (2) where E(ui | Xi,Zi) = 0 and E(vi | Xi,Zi) = 0 (a) Show why you cannot you use OLS to estimate α consistently in model 1? (b) Solve for the reduced form equation for Ti…
A researcher wants to test the relationship between the number of years of formal education received (X;) and the average weekly earnings (Y;) (measured in hundred dollars). A report released by a government agency suggests that the average weekly earnings of individuals with no formal education is equal to $429. The researcher wants to test whether the average weekly earnings with no formal education is $429 or greater than that. He collects data from a sample of 100 individuals and estimates the following regression function: î, = 9.45 + 1.21X, (2.45) (4.25) where Y; is the predicted value of the weekly earnings for the " individual and the standard errors for the coefficients appear in parenthesis. The t-statistic for the test the researcher wants to conduct will be (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
An analyst must decide between two different forecasting techniques for weekly sales of roller blades: a linear trend equation and the naive approach. The linear trend equation is F+ = 122 +1.9t, and it was developed using data from periods 1 through 10. Based on data for periods 11 through 20 as shown in the table, which of these two methods has the greater accuracy if MAD and MSE are used?

The relationship between sleep hours and overall happiness level on the next day was estimated as below in a linear format. (Happiness level is measured through a five-point scale: 1 = Extremely unhappy, 5 = Extremely happy) Overall happiness level = 0.27 * Sleep hours + 2.34 (The p-value for the coefficient of Sleep hours is 0.02.) Based on this equation, what is the expected happiness level of a person on a certain day, when he slept 7 hours the day before?

28) Below is some of the regression output from a regression of the amount rental houses on an island rent for (expressed in thousands of $'s) based on the size of the house (expressed in square feet), whether the house has an ocean front view (VIEW = 1 if it has an ocean front view and = 0 if not), and an interaction term between the ocean front view dummy variable and the size of the house. If the estimated equation is: Price = 1474 + 0.31*Size + 1885*View + 0.10*(Size*View) Suppose you just built a house with an ocean front view that is 3900 square feet and you want to decide how much to rent it for. What is the predicted price of a house that is 3900 square feet and has an ocean front view? (please round to 1 decimal places)
