Stochastic Finance: A Numeraire Approach (Chapman And Hall/crc Financial Mathematics Ser.)
by Jan VecerUnlike much of the existing literature, Stochastic Finance: A Numeraire Approach treats price as a number of units of one asset needed for an acquisition of a unit of another asset instead of expressing prices in dollar terms exclusively. This numeraire approach leads to simpler pricing options for complex products, such as barrier, lookback, quant
