This thesis is dedicated to the study of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) and their applications. In chapter 1, we study the problem of maximizing the utility from terminal wealth where the stock price may jump and there are investment constraints on the agent 's strategies. We focus on the BSDE whose solution represents the maximal utility, which allows transferring results on quadratic BSDEs, in particular the stability results, to the problem of utility maximisation. In chapter 2, we consider the problem of pricing American options from theoretical and numerical sides based upon an alternative representation of the value of the option in the form of a viscosity solution of a parabolic equation with a nonlinear reacti...
