Diffusion Approximations of the Geometric Markov Renewal Processes and Option Price Formulas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the geometric Markov renewal processes as a model for a security market and study this processes in a diffusion approximation scheme. Weak convergence analysis and rates of convergence of ergodic geometric Markov renewal processes in diffusion scheme are presented. We present European call option pricing formulas in the case of ergodic, double-averaged, and merged diffusion geometric Markov renewal processes.

Extended Geometric Processes: Semiparametric Estimation and Application to ReliabilityImperfect repair, Markov renewal equation, replacement policy
Lam (2007) introduces a generalization of renewal processes named Geometric processes, where inter-arrival times are independent and identically distributed up to a multiplicative scale parameter, in a geometric fashion. We here envision a more general scaling, not necessar- ily geometric. The corresponding counting process is named Extended Geometric Process (EGP). Semiparametric estimates are...
متن کاملClosed formulas for the price and sensitivities of European options under a double exponential jump diffusion model
We derive closed formulas for the prices of European options andtheir sensitivities when the underlying asset follows a double-exponentialjump diffusion model, as considered by S. Kou in 2002. This author hasderived the option price by making use of double series where each termrequires the computation of a sequence of special functions, such thatthe implementation remains difficult for a large...
متن کاملSpectral Expansions for Asian (Average Price) Options
Arithmetic Asian or average price options deliver payoffs based on the average underlying price over a prespecified time period. Asian options are an important family of derivative contracts with a wide variety of applications in currency, equity, interest rate, commodity, energy, and insurance markets. We derive two analytical formulas for the value of the continuously sampled arithmetic Asian...
متن کاملA New Stock Model for Option Pricing in Uncertain Environment
The option-pricing problem is always an important part in modern finance. Assuming that the stock diffusion is a constant, some literature has introduced many stock models and given corresponding option pricing formulas within the framework of the uncertainty theory. In this paper, we propose a new stock model with uncertain stock diffusion for uncertain markets. Some option pricing formulas on...
متن کاملAn Alternative Approach to the Valuation of American Options and Applications
In this paper we examine the structure of American option valuation problems and derive the analytic valuation formulas under general underlying security price processes by an alternative but intuitive method. For alternative diffusion processes, we derive closed-form analytic valuation formulas and analyze the implications of asset price dynamics on the early exercise premiums of American opti...
