Option pricing with Levy Process
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we assume that log returns can be modelled by a Levy process. We give explicit formulae for option prices by means of the Fourier transform. We explain how to infer the characteristics of the Levy process from option prices. This enables us to generate an implicit volatility surface implied by market data. This model is of particular interest since it extends the seminal Black Scholes [1973] model consistently with volatility smile.

Numerical algorithm for discrete barrier option pricing in a Black-Scholes model with stationary process
In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...
متن کاملEfficient Options Pricing Using the Fast Fourier Transform
We review the commonly used numerical algorithms for option pricing under Levy process via Fast Fourier transform (FFT) calculations. By treating option price analogous to a probability density function, option prices across the whole spectrum of strikes can be obtained via FFT calculations. We also show how the property of the Fourier transform of a convolution product can be used to value var...
متن کاملA fuzzy approach to option pricing in a Levy process setting
In this paper the problem of European option valuation in a Levy process setting is analysed. In our model the underlying asset follows a geometric Levy process. The jump part of the log-price process, which is a linear combination of Poisson processes, describes upward and downward jumps in price. The proposed pricing method is based on stochastic analysis and the theory of fuzzy sets. We assu...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Stochastic Modelling on Options
Modern option pricing techniques are often considered among the most mathematically complex of all applied areas of financial engineering. In particular these techniques derive their impetus from four milestones of option pricing models: Bachelier model, Samuelson model, Black-Scholes-Merton model and Levy model. In this paper we evaluate all related option pricing models based on these milesto...
متن کاملOption pricing with Levy process using Mellin Transform
In this paper, we use Mellin transform to get the expression for the free boundary an price of an American finite-lived option, when the underlying is govern by the Levy process. We have also derived the free boundary and price of an American perpetual put as the limit of the preceded finite-lived option. We then show how to compute the price of an American option on a basket of stocks using Me...
