Black and Scholes Testing

Today, the Black-Scholes model has been widely accepted as the most commonly used option pricing framework. In addition, there have been quite a number of empirical tests for the BS models. In most cases the studies have been positive in the sense that Black-Scholes model provides option values which are fairly close to the actual prices. However, in recent years the performance of BS model has been significantly deteriorating in the sense that option of the same stock with the same strike prices which should have a similar implied volatility actually exhibit progressively different implied vo ...

Biometrics

When talking about biometrics, for it to work perfectly there should be at least two out of three things: something you know, something you are, something you have. It can be a card you swipe (something you have ) and password (something you know). When creating employee database you have certain number of employees the information has to be checked against, there can be no other person except the ones in the system, ideally anyways. When looking for the terrorist in the crowd of people is a whole different story. The system is looking for one known person it the enormous pool of unknown subje ...

Beauty Premium

The present study examines the impact of physical attractiveness and intelligence on the determination of wages for both current and potential employees. Physical attractiveness has already been shown to serve as a signal for intelligence – the so-called ‘beauty premium’ (Hamermesh, 1994). This research hypothesizes, however, that once the intelligence of a (potential) employee is established, the effect of the ‘beauty premium’ is minimized or may disappear entirely. Wages are thus determined based more on intelligence than on rewards for natural physical endowment. Physical attractiveness, th ...

Avian Flu Pandemic

Avian flu, also known as bird flu, is a type of flu which affects wild birds and is caused by naturally occurring influenza viruses. There are about fifteen different subtypes of avian influenza viruses, but the H5N1 subtype has raised a lot of concern due to its ability to mutate quickly and a tendency to obtain new genes from other viruses that infect different animal species. There have been severe avian flu outbreaks affecting domestic poultry and wild birds mainly in Asia and some parts of the Middle East. Humans are not usually infected by the H5N1 virus, but infection could occur when o ...
