have the pleasure of announcing a one-day
Workshop on
Model Calibration:
theoretical and computational aspects.
Journée
Calibration de modèle:
aspects numériques et théoriques.
Paris, Vendredi 26 Octobre 2001.
Paris, Friday 26 October 2001.
8:30 - 18:00.
The use of increasingly sophisticated stochastic models in finance makes
difficult the calibration of model parameters to data. On the other hand,
more and more complex derivatives are created whose prices and hedging
strategies are increasingly sensitive to model parameters and therefore
to the calibration methods used to obtain them. Th goal of this workshop
is to shed some light on some of the theoretical and numerical tools
available to tackle these difficulties: through 4 mini-courses on the
subject, we will present various methods for model calibration, examples
of their application in option pricing and finally a numerical
implementation of each method on a parallel architecture.
La sophistication croissante des modèles financiers rend difficile et
delicat la calibration des parametres de modele. D autre part, l'arrivee
sur le marche d'instruments de plus en plus complexes augmente la
sensibilite des prix et des strategies de couverture aux parametres de
modele, rendant le resultat encore plus sensible a la procedure utilisee
pour la calibration. L'objectif de cette journee sera de proposer une
approche scientifique de ce probleme et de presenter un panorama des
methodes numeriques disponibles pour le resoudre. L'exposition de chaque
methode theorique sera accompagne d'une demonstration numerique et de
commentaires sur les aspects pratiques de l'implementation.
