Download or read book Long Range Stochastic Volatility with Two Scales in Option Pricing written by Li Kong and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We exploit a general framework, a martingale approach method, to estimate the derivative price for different stochastic volatility models. This method is a very useful tool for handling non-markovian volatility models. With this method, we get the order of the approximation error by evaluating the orders of three error correction terms. We also summarize some challenges in using the martingale approach method to evaluate the derivative prices. We propose two stochastic volatility models. Our goal is to get the analytical solution for the derivative prices implied by the models. Another goal is to obtain an explicit model for the implied volatility and in particular how it depends on time to maturity. The first model we propose involves the increments of a standard Brownian Motion for a short time increment. The second model involves fractional Brownian Motion(fBm) and two scales. By using fBm in our model, we naturally incorporate a long-range dependence feature of the volatility process. In addition, the implied volatility corresponding to our second model capture a feature of the volatility as observed in the paper Maturity cycles in implied volatility by Fouque, which analyzed the S & P 500 option price data and observed that for long dated options the implied volatility is approximately affine in the reciprocal of time to maturity, while for short dated options the implied volatility is approximately affine in the reciprocal of square root of time to maturity. The leading term in the implied volatility also matches the case when we have time-dependent volatility in the Black-Scholes equation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we propose two continuous time stochastic volatility models with long memory that generalize two existing models. More importantly, we provide analytical formulae that allow us to study option prices numerically, rather than by means of simulation. We are not aware about analytical results in continuous time long memory case. In both models, we allow for the non-zero correlation between the stochastic volatility and stock price processes. We numerically study the effects of long memory on the option prices. We show that the fractional integration parameter has the opposite effect to that of volatility of volatility parameter in short memory models. We also find that long memory models have the potential to accommodate the short term options and the decay of volatility skew better than the corresponding short memory stochastic volatility models.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now known that long memory stochastic volatility models can capture the well-documented evidence of volatility persistence. However, due to the complex structures of the long memory processes, the analytical formulas for option prices are not available yet. In this book, we propose two fractional continuous time stochastic volatility models which are built on the popular short memory stochastic volatility models. Using the tools from stochastic calculus, fractional calculus and Fourier transform, we derive the (approximate) analytical solutions for option prices. We also numerically study the effects of long memory on option prices. We show that the fractional integration parameter has the opposite effect to that of volatility of volatility parameter. We also find that long memory models can accommodate the short term options and the decay of volatility skew better than the corresponding short memory models. These findings would appeal to the researchers and practitioners in the areas of quantitative finance.

Download or read book Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity Interest Rate and Credit Derivatives written by Jean-Pierre Fouque and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the ideas introduced in their previous book, Derivatives in Financial Markets with Stochastic Volatility, the authors study the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives under stochastic volatility in equity, interest-rate, and credit markets. They present and analyze multiscale stochastic volatility models and asymptotic approximations. These can be used in equity markets, for instance, to link the prices of path-dependent exotic instruments to market implied volatilities. The methods are also used for interest rate and credit derivatives. Other applications considered include variance-reduction techniques, portfolio optimization, forward-looking estimation of CAPM 'beta', and the Heston model and generalizations of it. 'Off-the-shelf' formulas and calibration tools are provided to ease the transition for practitioners who adopt this new method. The attention to detail and explicit presentation make this also an excellent text for a graduate course in financial and applied mathematics.

Download or read book Option Pricing Under Stochastic Volatility written by Josep Perelló and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the pricing problem for a European call option when the volatility of the underlying asset is random and follows the exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model. The random diffusion model proposed is a two-dimensional market process that takes a log-Brownian motion to describe price dynamics and an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck subordinated process describing the randomness of the log-volatility. We derive an approximate option price that is valid when (i) the fluctuations of the volatility are larger than its normal level, (ii) the volatility presents a slow driving force toward its normal level and, finally, (iii) the market price of risk is a linear function of the log-volatility. We study the resulting European call price and its implied volatility for a range of parameters consistent with daily Dow Jones Index data.

Download or read book Jumps and Stochastic Volatility written by David S. Bates and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An efficient method is developed for pricing American options on combination stochastic volatility/jump-diffusion processes when jump risk and volatility risk are systematic and nondiversifiable, thereby nesting two major option pricing models. The parameters implicit in PHLX-traded Deutschemark options of the stochastic volatility/jump- diffusion model and various submodels are estimated over 1984-91, and are tested for consistency with the $/DM futures process and the implicit volatility sample path. The parameters implicit in options are found to be inconsistent with the time series properties of implicit volatilities, but qualitatively consistent with log- differenced futures prices. No economically significant implicit expectations of exchange rate jumps were found in full-sample estimation, which is consistent with the reduced leptokurtosis of $/DM weekly exchange rate changes over 1984-91 relative to earlier periods.
