Problem 1. Multi-stock model
We consider a 2-stock model similar to the one studied in class. Namely, we consider
=
S(1)
S(2)
=
S(¹) exp (σ1B(1) + (M1 - 0/1 )
S(²) exp (02B(2) + (H₂-
M2
where (B(¹) ) +20 and (B(2) ) +≥o are two Brownian motions, with
t≥0
Cov (B(¹), B(2)) = p min{t, s}.
"
The purpose of this problem is to prove that there indeed exists a 2-dimensional Brownian
motion (W+)+20 (W(1), W(2))+20 such that
=
S(1)
S(2)
=
=
S(¹) exp (011W(¹) + (μ₁ - 01/1) t)
롱)
S(²) exp (021W (1) + 022W(2) + (112 - 03/01/12) t).
where σ11, 21, 22 are constants to be determined (as functions of σ1, σ2, p).
Hint: The constants will follow the formulas developed in the lectures.
(a) To show existence of (Ŵ+), first write the expression for both W. (¹) and W (2)
functions of (B(1), B(²)).
as
(b) Using the formulas obtained in (a), show that the process (WA) is actually a 2-
dimensional standard Brownian motion (i.e. show that each component is normal,
with mean 0, variance t, and that their…
