Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Option Pricing
نویسنده
چکیده
In the following paper, we provide a review and development of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods ([17, 18, 24]) for option pricing. SMC are a class of Monte Carlo-based algorithms, that are designed to approximate expectations w.r.t a sequence of related probability measures. These approaches have been used, successfully, for a wide class of applications in engineering, statistics and physics (e.g. [18, 24]). SMC methods are highly suited to many option pricing problems and sensitivity/greek calculations due to the nature of the sequential simulation. However, it is seldom the case, that such ideas are explicitly used in the option pricing literature. This article provides an up-to date review of SMC methods, which are appropriate for option pricing, and illustrates how a number of existing approaches for option pricing can be enhanced via SMC. It is also shown, when pricing the arithmetic asian option, w.r.t a complex stochastic volatility model, that SMC methods provide additional strategies to improve estimation.

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 کاملNumerical Methods of Option Pricing for Two Specific Models of Electricity Prices
In this work, two models are proposed for electricity prices as energy commodity prices which in addition to mean-reverting properties have jumps and spikes, due to non-storability of electricity. The models are simulated using an Euler scheme, and then the Monte-Carlo method is used to estimate the expectation of the discounted cash-flow under historical probability, which is considered as the...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Methods for Diffusion Processes
In this paper we show how to use sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods ([7, 13]) to compute expectations of functionals of diffusions at a given time and the gradients of these quantities w.r.t the initial condition of the process. In some cases, using the exact simulation of diffusions methodology ([3]), there is no time discretization error, otherwise the methods use Euler discretization. We i...
متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
متن کاملA survey of sequential Monte Carlo methods for economics and finance
This paper serves as an introduction and survey for economists to the field of sequential Monte Carlo methods which are also known as particle filters. Sequential Monte Carlo methods are simulation based algorithms used to compute the high-dimensional and/or complex integrals that arise regularly in applied work. These methods are becoming increasingly popular in economics and finance; from dyn...
