On the Pricing of Forward Starting Options under Stochastic Volatility
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of pricing European forward starting options in the presence of stochastic volatility. By performing a change of measure using the asset price at the time of strike determination as a numeraire, we derive a closed-form solution based on Heston’s model of stochastic volatility.

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 کاملOn the Pricing of Inflation-Indexed Caps
We consider the problem of pricing inflation-linked caplets in a BlackScholes-type framework as well as in the presence of stochastic volatility. By using results on the pricing of forward starting options in Heston’s Model on stochastic volatility, we derive closed-form solutions for inflations caps which aim to receive smile-consistent option prices. Additionally we price options on the infla...
متن کاملPricing forward starting options under regime switching jump diffusion models
Abstract: This paper studies the pricing of forward starting options under regime switching jump diffusion models. We suppose that a market economy has only two states, one is a stable state, the other is a high volatility state. The dynamics of a risky asset is modeled by a geometry Brownian motion when the market state is stable, otherwise, it follows a jump diffusion model. We propose two ty...
متن کاملOn Pricing Barrier Options with Discrete Monitoring
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...
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...
