(Reflected) Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Contingent Claims

Author

  • Kohlmann, Michael

Abstract

We review the relations between adjoints of stochastic control problems with the derivative of the value function, and the latter with the value function of a stopping problem. These results are applied to the pricing of contingent claims.
