Pricing Barrier Options under Local Volatility
We study pricing under the local volatility. Our research is mainly intended for pedagogical purposes. In the first part of our work we study the local volatility modeling. We derive the local volatility formula in terms of the European call prices and in terms of the market implied volatilities. We propose and calibrate to the DAX option data a functional form for the implied volatility which ...
متن کاملForecasting Stock Market Volatility and the Informational Efficiency of the DAX- index Options Market
Alternative strategies for predicting stock market volatility are examined. In out-of-sample forecasting experiments implied-volatility information, derived from contemporaneously observed option prices or history-based volatility predictors, such as GARCH models, are investigated, to determine if they are more appropriate for predicting future return volatility. Employing German DAX-index retu...
متن کاملOn Pricing Barrier Options with Discrete Monitoring
This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula and the duality formula in Malliavin calculus are effectively applied in an asymptotic expansion approach. First, the paper derives an asymptotic expansion for generalized Wiener functionals. After it is appl...
متن کاملOn Pricing of Discrete Barrier Options
A barrier option is a derivative contract that is activated or extinguished when the price of the underlying asset crosses a certain level. Most models assume continuous monitoring of the barrier. However, in practice, most, if not all, of the barrier options traded are discretely monitored. Unlike their continuous counterparts, there is essentially no closed form solution available, and even n...
متن کاملPricing American Options under Stochastic Volatility
This paper presents an extension of McKean’s (1965) incomplete Fourier transform method to solve the two-factor partial differential equation for the price and early exercise surface of an American call option, in the case where the volatility of the underlying evolves randomly. The Heston (1993) square-root process is used for the volatility dynamics. The price is given by an integral equation...
