A Fast Fourier Transform Technique for Pricing European Options with Stochastic Volatility and Jump Risk

We consider European options pricing with double jumps and stochastic volatility. We derived closed-form solutions for European call options in a double exponential jump-diffusion model with stochastic volatility SVDEJD . We developed fast and accurate numerical solutions by using fast Fourier transform FFT technique. We compared the density of our model with those of other models, including the Black-Scholes model and the double exponential jump-diffusion model. At last, we analyzed several effects on option prices under the proposedmodel. Simulations show that the SVDEJD model is suitable for modelling the long-time real-market changes and stock returns are negatively correlated with volatility. The model and the proposed option pricing method are useful for empirical analysis of asset returns and managing the corporate credit risks.
