Carr to discuss application of integral transforms to option pricing at Risk Europe

Peter Carr, recipient of Risk 's 2003 quant of the year award, will discuss how fast Fourier techniques can be applied to option valuation problems during his address at Risk Europe on April 9.

This alternative technique is applied in areas such as optics and engineering, as well as in financial derivatives pricing. It allows complex integrals to be evaluated straightforwardly when other well defined mathematical functions are included within the integration.

Carr is a professor at New York’s Courant Institute. His research has included many ground-breaking insights into the hedging and pricing of exotic derivatives. Carr’s recent research has focused on the application of group theory
