Book excerpt: Then we show how the Das and Sundaram model can be extended to price convertible bonds which have a peculiar conversion feature; these bonds are convertible not into the stock of the bond issuer, but into the stock of a different company. We also test the empirical performance of this extended model.

Book excerpt: Irwin Library of Investment and Finance Pricing Derivatives provides investors with a clear understanding of derivative pricing models by first focusing on the underlying mathematics and financial concepts upon which the models were originally built. Trading consultant Professor Ambar Sengupta uses short, to-the-point chapters to examine the relation between price and probability as well as pricing structures of all major derivative instruments. Other topics covered include foundations of stochastic models of pricing, along with methods for establishing optimal prices in terms of the max-min principles that underlie game theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first essay investigates the option-implied investor preferences by comparing equilibrium option pricing models under jump-diffusion to option bounds extracted from discrete-time stochastic dominance (SD). We show that the bounds converge to two prices that define an interval comparable to the observed option bid-ask spreads for S&P 500 index options. Further, the bounds' implied distributions exhibit tail risk comparable to that of the return data and thus shed light on the dark matter of the divergence between option-implied and underlying tail risks. Moreover, the bounds can better accommodate reasonable values of the ex-dividend expected excess return than the equilibrium models' prices. We examine the relative risk aversion coefficients compatible with the boundary distributions extracted from index return data. We find that the SD-restricted range of admissible RRA values is consistent with the macro-finance studies of the equity premium puzzle and with several anomalous results that have appeared in earlier option market studies.The second essay examines theoretically and empirically a two-factor stochastic volatility model. We adopt an affine two-factor stochastic volatility model, where aggregate market volatility is decomposed into two independent factors; a persistent factor and a transient factor. We introduce a pricing kernel that links the physical and risk neutral distributions, where investor's equity risk preference is distinguished from her variance risk preference. Using simultaneous data from the S&P 500 index and options markets, we find a consistent set of parameters that characterizes the index dynamics under physical and risk-neutral distributions. We show that the proposed decomposition of variance factors can be characterized by a different persistence and different sensitivity of the variance factors to the volatility shocks. We obtain negative prices for both variance factors, implying that investors are willing to pay for insurance against increases in volatility risk, even if those increases have little persistence. We also obtain negative correlations between shocks to the market returns and each volatility factor, where correlation is less significant in transient factor and therefore has a less significant effect on the index skewness. Our empirical results indicate that unlike stochastic volatility model, join restrictions do not lead to the poor performance of two-factor SV model, measured by Vega-weighted root mean squared errors.In the third essay, we develop a closed-form equity option valuation model where equity returns are related to market returns with two distinct systematic components; one of which captures transient variations in returns and the other one captures persistent variations in returns. Our proposed factor structure and closed-form option pricing equations yield separate expressions for the exposure of equity options to both volatility components and overall market returns. These expressions allow a portfolio manager to hedge her portfolio's exposure to the underlying risk factors. In cross-sectional analysis our model predicts that firms with higher transient beta have a steeper term structure of implied volatility and a steeper implied volatility moneyness slope. Our model also predicts that variances risk premiums have more significant effect on the equity option skew when the transient beta is higher. On the empirical front, for the firms listed on the Dow Jones index, our model provides a good fit to the observed equity option prices.

Book excerpt: "In the first part, by using convexity, we employ a fast algorithm to obtain upper and lower price bounds for a classical (univariate) European option written on a discrete-dividend-paying Black-Scholes asset in closed form, and show that those bounds converge to the true option price. The errors introduced decrease with the square of the discretisation step used and scale with the option's gamma. Extension to price bounds for a bivariate European call-on-the-maximum of two underlying assets is presented. Prices of other bivariate European options can then be found through put-call/min-max parity relations. The second part derives the future Expected Exposure expressions for several Inflation-Indexed-Swaps under a stochastic model for inflation, used to find a closed-form solution for the Credit Value Adjustment (CVA). The CVA of a Zero-Coupon-Inflation-Indexed-Swap is obtained analytically. For a Year-on-Year-Inflation-Indexed-Swap and for a portfolio of Zero-Coupon-Inflation-Indexed-Swaps, semi-analytical solutions based on moment-matching-approximations are derived. Extensive tests using Monte Carlo simulations show that the formulas provide very fast and accurate methods. Third part shows how equilibrium bid-ask spread for European derivatives arises in dry markets (the underlying asset may not be traded at all points in time, generating market incompleteness), even under symmetric information and absence of transaction costs. In a one period model, for monopolistic risk-neutral market-makers we fully characterise the bid-ask spread within the no-arbitrage bounds, whereas for oligopolistic risk-neutral market-makers, we prove that there is no pure symmetric Nash equilibrium of the game and that a bid-ask spread can only exist under a mixed strategy equilibrium."--Samenvatting auteur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we provide several applications of Gram-Charlier expansions in financial derivative pricing. We first give an exposition on how to calculate swaption prices under a two-factor Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR2) model. Then we apply this method to an extended version of the model (CIR2 ). We also develop a procedure to calculate European call options under Heston's model of stochastic volatility by the Gram-Charlier expansions.
