Non-recombining trees for pricing of multi-variate options
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for pricing multi-variate options using non-recombining trees. The trees are generated using a moment-based approach, so no distributional assumptions are needed. To apply the method, the user has to know the properties (moments and correlations) of the risk-neutral distributions of returns of all the assets the options depend on. European options are priced on single-period trees, the path-dependent options on multi-period trees. We provide exact formulas for generation of trees without any interperiod dependency of the return distributions. With inter-period dependency, we provide only an ex-post correction procedure.

Variance analysis of control variate technique and applications in Asian option pricing
This paper presents an analytical view of variance reduction by control variate technique for pricing arithmetic Asian options as a financial derivatives. In this paper, the effect of correlation between two random variables is shown. We propose an efficient method for choose suitable control in pricing arithmetic Asian options based on the control variates (CV). The numerical experiment shows ...
متن کاملNon-recombining trees for the pricing of interest rate derivatives in the BGM/J framework
In the Libor market model framework of Brace-Gatarek-Musiela and Jamshidian (BGM/J) for the pricing of interest rate derivatives, the drifts of the underlying forward rates are state dependent. Wherever Monte Carlo methods can be used for the numerical calculation of discounted expectations, this poses no major difficulty since the computational effort necessary in order to achieve acceptable a...
متن کاملThe Pricing of Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds
The Pricing of Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds We build a three-factor term-structure of interest rates model and use it to price corporate bonds. The first two factors allow the risk-free term structure to shift and tilt. The third factor generates a stochastic credit-risk premium. To implement the model, we apply the Peterson and Stapleton (2002) diffusion approximation methodology. The met...
متن کاملParallel Binomial American Option Pricing under Proportional Transaction Costs
We present a parallel algorithm that computes the ask and bid prices of an American option when proportional transaction costs apply to trading in the underlying asset. The algorithm computes the prices on recombining binomial trees, and is designed for modern multi-core processors. Although parallel option pricing has been well studied, none of the existing approaches takes transaction costs i...
متن کاملA Non-Censored Binomial Model for Mean Reverting Stochastic Processes
Binomial trees are widely used for both financial and real option pricing due to their ease of use, versatility and precision. However, the classic approach developed by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979) applies only to a Geometric Brownian Motion diffusion processes, limiting the modeling choices. Nelson and Ramaswamy (1990) provided a general method to construct recombining binomial lattices w...
