Why Black–Scholes Works (and Doesn’t)

Derive the Black–Scholes framework from no-arbitrage reasoning and examine why it remains useful despite unrealistic assumptions.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with option payoffs, replication, and binomial pricing; volatility concepts are helpful; no stochastic calculus needed

  • Dynamic replication and delta hedging
  • Risk-neutral valuation and Black-Scholes inputs
  • Implied volatility, smiles, and skews
  • Model assumptions and practical limits
