Abstract

The change of numeraire gives very important computational simplification in option pricing. This technique reduces the number of sources of risks that need to be accounted for and so it is useful in pricing complicated derivatives that have several sources of risks. In this article, we considered the underlying mathematical theory of numeraire technique in the viewpoint of PED theory and illustrated it with five concrete pricing problems. In the viewpoint of PED theory, the numeraire technique is a method of reducing the dimension of status spaces where PDE is defined.
