This book was released on 2016 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this thesis, we look at the general affine pricing model introduced in [11]. This model allows to price geometric Asian options, which are of big interest due to their lower volatility in comparison to, for example, European options. Because of their structure and in order to be able to price these options, we look at the basic theory of Lévy processes and stochastic calculus. Furthermore, we provide the detailed description of the parameters of the pricing formulas for some popular specific single-factor stochastic volatility models with jumps and generalize the approach of [11] to multi-factor models"--Abstract, page iii.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we present a transform-based algorithm for pricing discretely monitored arithmetic Asian options with remarkable accuracy in a general stochastic volatility framework, including affine models and time-changed Lévy processes. The accuracy is justified both theoretically and experimentally. In addition, to speed up the valuation process, we employ high-performance computing technologies. More specifically, we develop a parallel option pricing system that can be easily reproduced on parallel computers, also realized as a cluster of personal computers. Numerical results showing the accuracy, speed and efficiency of the procedure are reported in the paper.

Download or read book Efficient Asian Option Pricing Under Regime Switching Jump Diffusions and Stochastic Volatility Models written by Justin Kirkby and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing frame duality and a FFT-based implementation of density projection we develop a novel and efficient transform method to price Asian options for very general asset dynamics, including regime switching Levy processes and other jump diffusions as well as stochastic volatility models with jumps. The method combines Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC) approximation, with Fourier pricing techniques. In particular, our method encompasses Heston, Hull-White, Stein-Stein, 3/2 model as well as recently proposed Jacobi, alpha-Hypergeometric, and 4/2 models, for virtually any type of jump amplitude distribution in the return process. This framework thus provides a unified approach to pricing Asian options in stochastic jump diffusion models and is readily extended to alternative exotic contracts. We also derive a characteristic function recursion by generalizing the Carverhill-Clewlow factorization which enables the application of transform methods in general. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the method. Various extensions of this method have since been developed, including the pricing of barrier, American, and realized variance derivatives.
Download or read book Characteristic Function Based Estimation of Affine Option Pricing Models written by Yannick Dillschneider and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we derive explicit expressions for certain joint moments of stock prices and option prices within a generic affine stochastic volatility model. Evaluation of each moment requires weighted inverse Fourier transformation of a function that is determined by the risk-neutral and real-world characteristic functions of the state vector. Explicit availability of such moment expressions allows to devise a novel GMM approach to jointly estimate real-world and risk-neutral parameters of affine stochastic volatility models using observed individual option prices. Moreover, the moment expressions may be used to include option price information into other existing moment-based estimation approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasizes practical numerical methods rather than mathematical proofs and focuses on techniques that apply directly to economic analyses. The examples are drawn from a wide range of subspecialties of economics and finance, with particular emphasis on problems in agricultural and resource economics, macroeconomics, and finance. The book also provides an extensive Web-site library of computer utilities and demonstration programs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part develops basic numerical methods, including linear and nonlinear equation methods, complementarity methods, finite-dimensional optimization, numerical integration and differentiation, and function approximation. The second part presents methods for solving dynamic stochastic models in economics and finance, including dynamic programming, rational expectations, and arbitrage pricing models in discrete and continuous time. The book uses MATLAB to illustrate the algorithms and includes a utilities toolbox to help readers develop their own computational economics applications.

Book excerpt: The first ever explicit formulation of the concept of the option's probability density functions has been introduced in our publications “Breakthrough in Understanding Derivatives and Option Based Hedging - Marginal and Joint Probability Density Functions of Vanilla Options - True Value-at-Risk and Option Based Hedging Strategies” and “Complete Analytical Solution of the Asian Option Pricing and Asian Option Value-at-Risk Problems.

Our discovery of the probability density function of the European style Asian Options with SV enables exact closed-form representation of its expected value (price) for the first time ever. Our formulation of the probability density function for the European style Asian Options with SV is expressive enough to enable derivation for the first time ever of corollary analytical closed-form results for such Value-At-Risk characteristics as the probabilities that an Asian Option with SV will be below or above any threshold at any future time before or at termination. Such assessments are absolutely out of reach of the current published methods for treating Asian Options even in the framework of constant volatility.All numerical evaluations based on our analytical results are practically instantaneous and absolutely accurate.

Download or read book Commodity Asian Option Pricing and Simulation in a 4 Factor Model with Jump Clusters written by Riccardo Brignone and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mean reversion, stochastic volatility, convenience yield and presence of jump clustering are well documented salient features of commodity markets, where Asian options are very popular. We propose a model which takes into account all these stylized features. We first state our model under the historical measure, then, after introducing a structure preserving change of measure, we provide a risk-neutral version of the same model and we show how to price geometric and arithmetic Asian options. To this end, we derive semi-closed formulas for the geometric Asian options price and develop a computationally efficient simulation scheme for the price process, allowing to price the arithmetic counterparts using control variate technique. Finally, we propose a simple econometric experiment to document presence of jump clusters in commodity prices and evaluate the performances of the proposed simulation scheme on some parameter sets calibrated on real data.
Download or read book Pricing Bounds and Approximations for Discrete Arithmetic Asian Options Under Time Changed L vy Processes written by Pingping Zeng and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We derive efficient and accurate analytical pricing bounds and approximations for discrete arithmetic Asian options under time-changed Lévy processes. By extending the conditioning variable approach, we derive the lower bound on the Asian option price and construct an upper bound based on the sharp lower bound. We also consider the general partially exact and bounded (PEB) approximations, which include the sharp lower bound and partially conditional moments matching approximation as special cases. The PEB approximations are known to lie between a sharp lower bound and an upper bound. Our numerical tests show that the PEB approximations to discrete arithmetic Asian option prices can produce highly accurate approximations when compared to other approximation methods. Our proposed approximation methods can be readily applied to pricing Asian options under the most common types of underlying asset price processes, like the Heston stochastic volatility model nested in time-changed Lévy processes with leverage effect.
Download or read book Pricing Geometric Asian Options Under Fuzzy Stochastic Environment written by Lei Ming and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the uncertainty in reality consists of randomness and fuzziness, we employ stochastic analysis and fuzzy set theory to explore the pricing of geometric Asian options. In the fuzzy stochastic world, the price of the underlying asset is assumed to follow a fuzzy stochastic process of which the classic pricing model is a special case. We derive the analytic fuzzy prices of geometric Asian options and their crisp values based on possibilistic mean. Numerical analysis shows that the degree of the fuzziness of the option prices is a increasing function in the degree of the fuzziness of the underlying price. Moreover, from the perspective of the possibilistic means of option prices, the investors are aversive to fuzziness and they ask compensation for fuzziness.
Download or read book The Pricing Of Asian Options In High Volatile Markets written by Nabil Kamal Riziq Farra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial derivatives are very important tools in risk management since they decrease uncertainty. Moreover, if used effectively, they can grow the income and save the cost. There are many types of financial derivatives, for instance: futures/forwards, options, and swaps. The present thesis deals with the pricing problem for Asian options. The main aim of the thesis is to generalize the Asian option pricing Partial Differential Equation (PDE) in order to handle post-crash markets where the volatility is high. In other words, we seek to extend the work on the Asian option pricing PDE under the well-known Black-Scholes model to a high volatility model. To this end, we first set up a model that accounts for high volatile situations and we solve the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) of the underlying asset price. Our illustrations confirm the high volatile behavior of the model. We then derive the Asian option PDE for the suggested model. The resulting PDE is reduced from two-dimensional space to one-dimensional space using a change of variable. Moreover, we derive a relationship between the Asian options prices of the Black-Scholes model and our high volatility model where the increase in volatility is a deterministic function of the interest rate.
