The Black-Scholes model and valuation of the European Call option
Abstract
In this paper will be considered the simple continuous time model of Black-Scholes. The Black-Scholes formula for valuation of the European Call Option will be shown. It will be given a review of the background of this model and also the basic concepts of stochastic or Ito calculus that are necessary to explore the model.References
