主要内容：
In 1973, Black, Scholes and Merton developed the Black-Scholes model which demonstrates how to replicate an option by trading in the underlying stock, for which they later won the Nobel prize. The use of this formula grew in industry until the extreme market crash of 1987 when practitioners realized that the statistical model behind Black-Scholes is inaccurate . Agreement on which market model best fits the market has never been reached. A different approach is to investigate alternative assets such as derivatives, whose replication is independent of the underlying model. The use of this approach also grew but, alas, failed during the global financial crisis due to market frictions and practitioners unwillingness to follow the math precisely. We will talk about the history of this approach and some recent results.
