Continuous-Time Finance

Robert Merton is one of the great economists of our time. He pioneered the use of stochastic calculus in finance and economics, using it to address problems of portfolio selection, option pricing, the capital structure of firms and market equilibrium. This book is a compilation of his most important papers, modified slightly for book form.
