DESCRIPTION: | The thesis in Physics is about financial markets, analysing the existing relationship between Physics and finance. Particularly, the described relationship is visible in different dimensions, such as a market structure. As many investors operate on the financial markets, the markets can be considered as systems with a non-specified dynamic. In this thesis, a particular financial market, those of interest rate instruments, is analysed by viewing the market as a physical system. It can be considered as an interactive “gas of particles” and particularly, the stochastic interest rate dynamic is described using a diffusion process similar to the process for the speed of the Brownian particle. |
