Abstract
This dissertation considers the errors when using Black-Scholes prices and hedges for European equity options (Black&Scholes (1973), Merton (1973)) and American equity options (Karatzas (1988)) in an economy with stochastic interest rates. In particular, we consider an economy with Vasicek (1977) type interest rates.
