A neural network versus Black–Scholes: a comparison of pricing and hedging performances

An Erratum has been published for this article in Journal of Forecasting 22(6‐7) 2003, 551 The Black–Scholes formula is a well‐known model for pricing and hedging derivative securities. It relies, however, on several highly questionable assumptions. This paper examines whether a neural network (MLP) can be used to find a call option pricing formula better corresponding to market prices and the properties of the underlying asset than the Black–Scholes formula. The neural network method is applied to the out‐of‐sample pricing and delta‐hedging of daily Swedish stock index call options from 1997 to 1999. The relevance of a hedge‐analysis is stressed further in this paper. As benchmarks, the Black–Scholes model with historical and implied volatility estimates are used. Comparisons reveal that the neural network models outperform the benchmarks both in pricing and hedging performances. A moving block bootstrap is used to test the statistical significance of the results. Although the neural networks are superior, the results are sometimes insignificant at the 5% level.

The social brain: Insights from cognitive neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience has provided powerful tools that now permit the investigation of human social cognition and behavior with unprecedented accuracy. This review summarizes some of the features of the human brain that differentiate it from the brains of other animals, some of the methods used in cognitive neuroscience, and concludes with an example of research from the author’s own lab that implicates the amygdala in emotion recognition, social judgment, and autism.     

词汇策略的使用与词汇知识水平的相关探究

旨在探讨二语学习者的词汇策略倾向与其词汇知识之间的关系。对非英语专业大学二年级学生的词汇水平测试和词汇学习策略问卷调查结果表明：（1）学习者词汇策略的认知倾向对词汇知识水平有预测作用：词汇水平较高的同学更多地使用认知策略和元认知策略，而词汇水平相对较差的同学较多地依赖机械记忆；（2）二语学习者还没有摆脱母语知识系统的束缚，还需要进一步努力构建二语词汇知识系统。
