Asymptotic Formulas with Error Estimates for Call Pricing Functions and the Implied Volatility at Extreme Strikes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formulas with error estimates for the implied volatility associated with a European call pricing function. We show that these formulas imply Lee’s moment formulas for the implied volatility and the tail-wing formulas due to Benaim and Friz. In addition, we analyze Pareto-type tails of stock price distributions in uncorrelated Hull-White, Stein-Stein, and Heston models and find asymptotic formulas with error estimates for call pricing functions in these models.

Asymptotic Formulas for the Implied Volatility at Extreme Strikes
The course consists of two lectures (1.5 hours each). It will be explained in the lectures how the implied volatility (the smile) behaves at large strikes. We will discuss and prove several known results describing the smile asymptotics. There results include Lee’s moment formulas, the tail-wing formula of Benaim and Friz, and the asymptotic formulas with error estimates due to the author. The ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Stock Price Densities and Implied Volatilities in Mixed Stochastic Models
In this paper, we obtain sharp asymptotic formulas with error estimates for the Mellin convolution of functions defined on (0,∞) and use these formulas to characterize the asymptotic behavior of marginal distribution densities of stock price processes in mixed stochastic models. Special examples of mixed models are jump-diffusion models and stochastic volatility models with jumps. We apply our ...
متن کاملNormalization for Implied Volatility
We study specific nonlinear transformations of the Black-Scholes implied volatility to show remarkable properties of the volatility surface. Model-free bounds on the implied volatility skew are given. Pricing formulas for the European options which are written in terms of the implied volatility are given. In particular, we prove elegant formulas for the fair strikes of the variance swap and the...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of the Stock Price Distribution Density and Implied Volatility in Stochastic Volatility Models
We study the asymptotic behavior of distribution densities arising in stock price models with stochastic volatility. The main objects of our interest in the present paper are the density of time averages of the squared volatility process and the density of the stock price process in the Stein-Stein and the Heston model. We find explicit formulas for leading terms in asymptotic expansions of the...
متن کاملOn the Black-Scholes Implied Volatility at Extreme Strikes
We survey recent results on the behavior of the Black-Scholes implied volatility at extreme strikes. There are simple and universal formulae that give quantitative links between tail behavior and moment explosions of the underlying on one hand, and growth of the famous volatility smile on the other hand. Some original results are included as well.
