Sensitivity Analysis and Density Estimation for the Hobson-Rogers Stochastic Volatility Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Monte Carlo estimators of sensitivity indices and the marginal density of the price dynamics are derived for the Hobson-Rogers stochastic volatility model. Our approach is based mainly upon the Kolmogorov backward equation by making full use of the Markovian property of the dynamics given the past information. Some numerical examples are presented with a GARCHlike volatility function and its extension to illustrate the effectiveness of our formulae together with a clear exhibition of the skewness and the heavy tails of the price dynamics.

On the complete model with stochastic volatility by Hobson and Rogers
In the complete model with stochastic volatility by Hobson and Rogers, preference independent options prices are solutions to degenerate partial differential equations obtained by including additional state variables describing the dependence on past prices of the underlying. In this paper, we aim to emphasize the mathematical tractability of the model by presenting analytical and numerical res...
متن کاملPutting the Hobson-Rogers model to the test
In this paper, we take the model of Hobson & Rogers (1998) for the movement of an asset, and we fit it to data. The model of Hobson & Rogers is a stochastic volatility model, where the volatility depends on the offset of the current log-price from its exponentially-weighted historical value. As such, the model is complete, and there are unique preference-independent prices. In the datasets we s...
متن کاملCalibration of a path-dependent volatility model: Empirical tests
The Hobson and Rogers model for option pricing is considered. This stochastic volatility model preserves the completeness of the market and can potentially reproduce the observed smile and term structure patterns of implied volatility. A calibration procedure based on ad-hoc numerical schemes for hypoelliptic PDEs is proposed and used to quantitatively investigate the pricing performance of the...
متن کاملCalibration of the Hobson&Rogers model: empirical tests
The path-dependent volatility model by Hobson and Rogers is considered. It is known that this model can potentially reproduce the observed smile and skew patterns of different directions, while preserving the completeness of the market. In order to quantitatively investigate the pricing performance of the model a calibration procedure is here derived. Numerical results based on S&P500 option pr...
متن کاملSpectral Iterative Estimation of Tempered Stable Stochastic Volatility Models and Option Pricing
This paper addresses alternative option pricing models and their estimation. The stock price dynamics is modeled by taking into account both stochastic volatility and jumps. Jumps are mimiced by the tempered stable process and stochastic volatility is introduced by time changing the stochastic process. We propose a characteristic function based iterative estimation method, which overcomes the p...
