Pricing of Options on Stocks Driven by Multi-dimensional Operator Stable Lévy Processes

چکیده
We model the price of a stock via a Langévin equation with multi-dimensional fluctuations coupled both in the price in time. We generalize previous models in that we assume that the fluctuations conditioned on the time step are compound Poisson processes with operator stable jump intensities. We derive exact relations for Fourier transforms of the jump intensity in case of different scaling indices E of the process. We express the Fourier transform of the joint probability density of the process to attain given values at several different times and to attain a given maximal value in a given time period through Fourier transforms of the jump intensity. Then we consider a portfolio composed of stocks and of options on stocks and we derive the Fourier transform of a random variable Dt (deviation of the portfolio) that is defined as a small temporal change of the portfolio diminished by the the compound interest earned. We show that if the price of the option at time t is an inverse of a positive, larger than unity, power of a logarithm of the price of the stock at time t then the deviation of the portfolio has a zero mean E [Dt] = 0 and the option pricing problem may have a solution.

متن کاملPricing Derivatives on Two-dimensional Lévy Processes∗
The aim of this work is to use a duality approach to study the pricing of derivatives depending on two stocks driven by a bidimensional Lévy process. The main idea is to apply Girsanov’s Theorem for Lévy processes, in order to reduce the posed problem to a problem with one Lévy driven stock in an auxiliary market, baptized as “dual market”. In this way, we extend the results obtained by Gerber ...

متن کاملElementary Proofs on Optimal Stopping
Abstract Elementary proofs of classical theorems on pricing perpetual call and put options in the standard Black-Scholes model are given. The method presented does not rely on stochastic calculus and is also applied to give prices and optimal stopping rules for perpetual call options when the stock is driven by a Lévy process with no positive jumps, and for perpetual put options for stocks driv...
متن کاملExponential Stock Models Driven by Tempered Stable Processes
We investigate exponential stock models driven by tempered stable processes, which constitute a rich family of purely discontinuous Lévy processes. With a view of option pricing, we provide a systematic analysis of the existence of equivalent martingale measures, under which the model remains analytically tractable. This includes the existence of Esscher martingale measures and martingale measu...
