A general decomposition formula for derivative prices in stochastic volatility models
نویسنده
چکیده
We see that the price of an european call option in a stochastic volatility framework can be decomposed in the sum of four terms, which identify the main features of the market that affect to option prices: the expected future volatility, the correlation between the volatility and the noise driving the stock prices, the market price of volatility risk and the difference of the expected future volatility at different times. We also study some applications of this decomposition.

An Asymptotic Expansion with Push-Down of Malliavin Weights
This paper derives asymptotic expansion formulas for option prices and implied volatilities as well as the density of the underlying asset price in multi-dimensional stochastic volatility models. In particular, the integration-byparts formula in Malliavin calculus and the push-down of Malliavin weights are effectively applied. We provide an expansion formula for generalized Wiener functionals a...
متن کاملA decomposition formula for option prices in the Heston model and applications to option pricing approximation
By means of classical Itôs calculus we decompose option prices as the sum of the classical Black-Scholes formula with volatility parameter equal to the root-mean-square future average volatility plus a term due by correlation and a term due to the volatility of the volatility. This decomposition allows us to develop rst and second-order approximation formulas for option prices and implied vol...
متن کاملModeling Stock Return Volatility Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Nonlinear State Space Models: Case of Tehran Stock Market
Volatility is a measure of uncertainty that plays a central role in financial theory, risk management, and pricing authority. Turbulence is the conditional variance of changes in asset prices that is not directly observable and is considered a hidden variable that is indirectly calculated using some approximations. To do this, two general approaches are presented in the literature of financial ...
متن کاملSmile at the Uncertainty
The success of the Black-Scholes (BS) formula is mainly due to the possibility of synthesizing option prices through a unique parameter, the implied volatility, which is so crucial for traders to be directly quoted in many financial markets. This is because the BS formula allows one to immediately convert a volatility into the price at which the related option can be exchanged. The BS model, ho...
متن کاملTesting volatility autocorrelation in the constant elasticity of variance model
Since its rst introduction many suggestions have been proposed for the generalization of Black and Scholes option pricing model (Black and Scholes, 1973). One of the most widely spread approaches is allowing for random volatility of the underlying stock price process as in the seminal papers by Hull and White (1987), Scott (1987), Wiggins (1987), Stein and Stein (1991) and Heston (1993). A com...
