  • Numerical Solution of Jump-Diffusion LIBOR Market Models
    Finance Stochast. 7, 1–27 (2003) c Springer-Verlag 2003 Numerical solution of jump-diffusion LIBOR market models Paul Glasserman1, Nicolas Merener2 1 403 Uris Hall, Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. This paper develops, analyzes, and tests computational procedures for the numerical solution of LIBOR market models with jumps. We consider, in par- ticular, a class of models in which jumps are driven by marked point processes with intensities that depend on the LIBOR rates themselves. While this formulation of- fers some attractive modeling features, it presents a challenge for computational work. As a first step, we therefore show how to reformulate a term structure model driven by marked point processes with suitably bounded state-dependent intensities into one driven by a Poisson random measure. This facilitates the development of discretization schemes because the Poisson random measure can be simulated with- out discretization error. Jumps in LIBOR rates are then thinned from the Poisson random measure using state-dependent thinning probabilities. Because of discon- tinuities inherent to the thinning process, this procedure falls outside the scope of existing convergence results; we provide some theoretical support for our method through a result establishing first and second order convergence of schemes that accommodates thinning but imposes stronger conditions on other problem data. The bias and computational efficiency of various schemes are compared through numerical experiments.

  • A Tree-Based Method to Price American Options in the Heston Model
    The Journal of Computational Finance (1–21) Volume 13/Number 1, Fall 2009 A tree-based method to price American options in the Heston model Michel Vellekoop Financial Engineering Laboratory, University of Twente, PO Box 217, 7500 AE Enschede, The Netherlands; email: [email protected] Hans Nieuwenhuis University of Groningen, Faculty of Economics, PO Box 800, 9700 AV Groningen, The Netherlands; email: [email protected] We develop an algorithm to price American options on assets that follow the stochastic volatility model defined by Heston. We use an approach which is based on a modification of a combined tree for stock prices and volatilities, where the number of nodes grows quadratically in the number of time steps. We show in a number of numerical tests that we get accurate results in a fast manner, and that features which are essential for the practical use of stock option pricing algorithms, such as the incorporation of cash dividends and a term structure of interest rates, can easily be incorporated. 1 INTRODUCTION One of the most popular models for equity option pricing under stochastic volatility is the one defined by Heston (1993): 1 dSt = µSt dt + Vt St dW (1.1) t = − + 2 dVt κ(θ Vt ) dt ω Vt dWt (1.2) In this model for the stock price process S and squared volatility process V the processes W 1 and W 2 are standard Brownian motions that may have a non-zero correlation coefficient ρ, while µ, κ, θ and ω are known strictly positive parameters.

The project was devised from the collaboration of the University of Twente with Saen Options BV (during the course of the project Saen Options BV was integrated into AllOptions BV) at whose facilities the project was performed over a period of six months. This research project could not have been performed without the help of others. Most notably I would like to extend my gratitude towards my supervisors: Michel Vellekoop of the University of Twente, Julien Gosme of AllOptions BV and Fran¸coisMyburg of AllOptions BV. They provided me with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to perform this research. Their constant guidance, involvement and availability were an essential part of this project. My thanks goes out to Irakli Khomasuridze, who worked beside me for six months on his own project for the same degree. The many discussions I had with him greatly facilitated my progress and made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Finally I would like to thank AllOptions and their staff for making use of their facilities, getting access to their data and assisting me with all practical issues.

  • THE BLACK-SCHOLES EQUATION in STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODELS 1. Introduction in Financial Mathematics There Are Two Main Approache
    THE BLACK-SCHOLES EQUATION IN STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODELS ERIK EKSTROM¨ 1,2 AND JOHAN TYSK2 Abstract. We study the Black-Scholes equation in stochastic volatility models. In particular, we show that the option price is the unique classi- cal solution to a parabolic differential equation with a certain boundary behaviour for vanishing values of the volatility. If the boundary is at- tainable, then this boundary behaviour serves as a boundary condition and guarantees uniqueness in appropriate function spaces. On the other hand, if the boundary is non-attainable, then the boundary behaviour is not needed to guarantee uniqueness, but is nevertheless very useful for instance from a numerical perspective. 1. Introduction In financial mathematics there are two main approaches to the calculation of option prices. Either the price of an option is viewed as a risk-neutral expected value, or it is obtained by solving the Black-Scholes partial differ- ential equation. The connection between these approaches is furnished by the classical Feynman-Kac theorem, which states that a classical solution to a linear parabolic PDE has a stochastic representation in terms of an ex- pected value. In the standard Black-Scholes model, a standard logarithmic change of variables transforms the Black-Scholes equation into an equation with constant coefficients. Since such an equation is covered by standard PDE theory, the existence of a unique classical solution is guaranteed. Con- sequently, the option price given by the risk-neutral expected value is the unique classical solution to the Black-Scholes equation. However, in many situations outside the standard Black-Scholes setting, the pricing equation has degenerate, or too fast growing, coefficients and standard PDE theory does not apply.

  • Sensitivity Estimation of Sabr Model Via Derivative of Random Variables
    Proceedings of the 2011 Winter Simulation Conference S. Jain, R. R. Creasey, J. Himmelspach, K. P. White, and M. Fu, eds. SENSITIVITY ESTIMATION OF SABR MODEL VIA DERIVATIVE OF RANDOM VARIABLES NAN CHEN YANCHU LIU The Chinese University of Hong Kong 709A William Mong Engineering Building Shatin, N. T., HONG KONG ABSTRACT We derive Monte Carlo simulation estimators to compute option price sensitivities under the SABR stochastic volatility model. As a companion to the exact simulation method developed by Cai, Chen and Song (2011), this paper uses the sensitivity of “vol of vol” as a showcase to demonstrate how to use the pathwise method to obtain unbiased estimators to the price sensitivities under SABR. By appropriately conditioning on the path generated by the volatility, the evolution of the forward price can be represented as noncentral chi-square random variables with stochastic parameters. Combined with the technique of derivative of random variables, we can obtain fast and accurate unbiased estimators for the sensitivities. 1 INTRODUCTION The ubiquitous existence of the volatility smile and skew poses a great challenge to the practice of risk management in fixed and foreign exchange trading desks. In foreign currency option markets, the implied volatility is often relatively lower for at-the-money options and becomes gradually higher as the strike price moves either into the money or out of the money. Traders refer to this stylized pattern as the volatility smile. In the equity and interest rate markets, a typical aspect of the implied volatility, which is also known as the volatility skew, is that it decreases as the strike price increases.

  • Implied Volatility Modeling
    Implied Volatility Modeling Sarves Verma, Gunhan Mehmet Ertosun, Wei Wang, Benjamin Ambruster, Kay Giesecke I Introduction Although Black-Scholes formula is very popular among market practitioners, when applied to call and put options, it often reduces to a means of quoting options in terms of another parameter, the implied volatility. Further, the function σ BS TK ),(: ⎯⎯→ σ BS TK ),( t t ………………………………(1) is called the implied volatility surface. Two significant features of the surface is worth mentioning”: a) the non-flat profile of the surface which is often called the ‘smile’or the ‘skew’ suggests that the Black-Scholes formula is inefficient to price options b) the level of implied volatilities changes with time thus deforming it continuously. Since, the black- scholes model fails to model volatility, modeling implied volatility has become an active area of research. At present, volatility is modeled in primarily four different ways which are : a) The stochastic volatility model which assumes a stochastic nature of volatility [1]. The problem with this approach often lies in finding the market price of volatility risk which can’t be observed in the market. b) The deterministic volatility function (DVF) which assumes that volatility is a function of time alone and is completely deterministic [2,3]. This fails because as mentioned before the implied volatility surface changes with time continuously and is unpredictable at a given point of time. Ergo, the lattice model [2] & the Dupire approach [3] often fail[4] c) a factor based approach which assumes that implied volatility can be constructed by forming basis vectors. Further, one can use implied volatility as a mean reverting Ornstein-Ulhenbeck process for estimating implied volatility[5].

  • The Equity Option Volatility Smile: an Implicit Finite-Difference Approach 5
    The equity option volatility smile: an implicit finite-difference approach 5 The equity option volatility smile: an implicit ®nite-dierence approach Leif B. G. Andersen and Rupert Brotherton-Ratcliffe This paper illustrates how to construct an unconditionally stable finite-difference lattice consistent with the equity option volatility smile. In particular, the paper shows how to extend the method of forward induction on Arrow±Debreu securities to generate local instantaneous volatilities in implicit and semi-implicit (Crank±Nicholson) lattices. The technique developed in the paper provides a highly accurate fit to the entire volatility smile and offers excellent convergence properties and high flexibility of asset- and time-space partitioning. Contrary to standard algorithms based on binomial trees, our approach is well suited to price options with discontinuous payouts (e.g. knock-out and barrier options) and does not suffer from problems arising from negative branch- ing probabilities. 1. INTRODUCTION The Black±Scholes option pricing formula (Black and Scholes 1973, Merton 1973) expresses the value of a European call option on a stock in terms of seven parameters: current time t, current stock price St, option maturity T, strike K, interest rate r, dividend rate , and volatility1 . As the Black±Scholes formula is based on an assumption of stock prices following geometric Brownian motion with constant process parameters, the parameters r, , and are all considered constants independent of the particular terms of the option contract. Of the seven parameters in the Black±Scholes formula, all but the volatility are, in principle, directly observable in the ®nancial market. The volatility can be estimated from historical data or, as is more common, by numerically inverting the Black±Scholes formula to back out the level of Ðthe implied volatilityÐthat is consistent with observed market prices of European options.

Empirical Performance of Alternative Option Pricing Models for Commodity Futures Options Abstract The central part of pricing agricultural commodity futures options is to ¯nd appro- priate stochastic process of the underlying assets. The Black's (1976) futures option pricing model laid the foundation for a new era of futures option valuation theory. The geometric Brownian motion assumption girding the Black's model, however, has been regarded as unrealistic in numerous empirical studies. Option pricing models incor- porating discrete jumps and stochastic volatility have been studied extensively in the literature. This study tests the performance of major alternative option pricing models and attempts to ¯nd the appropriate model for pricing commodity futures options. Keywords: futures options, jump-di®usion, option pricing, stochastic volatility, sea- sonality Introduction Proper model for pricing agricultural commodity futures options is crucial to estimating implied volatility and e®ectively hedging in agricultural ¯nancial markets.
