Pricing American Options under Stochastic Volatility

چکیده
This paper presents an extension of McKean’s (1965) incomplete Fourier transform method to solve the two-factor partial differential equation for the price and early exercise surface of an American call option, in the case where the volatility of the underlying evolves randomly. The Heston (1993) square-root process is used for the volatility dynamics. The price is given by an integral equation dependent upon the early exercise surface, using a free boundary approximation that is linear in volatility. By evaluating the pricing equation along the free surface boundary, we provide a corresponding integral equation for the early exercise region. An algorithm is proposed for solving the integral equation system, based upon numerical integration techniques for Volterra integral equations. The method is implemented, and the resulting prices are compared with the constant volatility model. The computational efficiency of the numerical integration scheme is also considered.

Option pricing under the double stochastic volatility with double jump model
In this paper, we deal with the pricing of power options when the dynamics of the risky underling asset follows the double stochastic volatility with double jump model. We prove efficiency of our considered model by fast Fourier transform method, Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results using power call options i.e. Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results show that the fast Fourier tra...
متن کاملPricing American Options under Stochastic Volatility : A New Method Using
This paper presents a new numerical method for pricing American call options when the volatility of the price of the underlying stock is stochastic. By exploiting a log-linear relationship of the optimal exercise boundary with respect to volatility changes, we derive an integral representation of an American call price and the early exercise premium which holds under stochastic volatility. This...

In this paper, we study the problem of pricing multi-asset American-style options in the Heston-Hull-White model. It is widely recognized that our intended model compared to the original Heston model, due to its stochastic interest rate and stochastic volatility, is more compatible with the realistic of the market. We demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the our proposed method by verifyi...
متن کاملReduced order models for pricing European and American options under stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion models
European options can be priced by solving parabolic partial(-integro) differential equations under stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion models like Heston, Merton, and Bates models. American option prices can be obtained by solving linear complementary problems (LCPs) with the same operators. A finite difference discretization leads to a so-called full order model (FOM). Reduced order model...

Han, Chuan-Hsiang. Singular Perturbations on Non-Smooth Boundary Problems in Finance. (Under the direction of Jean-Pierre Fouque.) In this work we apply asymptotic analysis on compound options, American options, Asian options, and variance (or volatility) contracts in the context of stochastic volatility models. Singular perturbation techniques are primarily used. A singular-regular perturbatio...

This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula and the duality formula in Malliavin calculus are effectively applied in an asymptotic expansion approach. First, the paper derives an asymptotic expansion for generalized Wiener functionals. After it is appl...
