Jumps without Tears: a New Splitting Technology for Barrier Options
نویسنده
چکیده
The market pricing of OTC FX options displays both stochastic volatility and stochastic skewness in the risk-neutral distribution governing currency returns. To capture this unique phenomenon Carr and Wu developed a model (SSM) with three dynamical state variables. They then used Fourier methods to value simple European-style options. However pricing exotic options requires numerical solution of 3D unsteady PIDE with mixed derivatives which is expensive. In this paper to achieve this goal we propose a new splitting technique. Being combined with another method of the authors, which uses pseudo-parabolic PDE instead of PIDE, this reduces the original 3D unsteady problem to a set of 1D unsteady PDEs, thus allowing a significant computational speedup. We demonstrate this technique for single and double barrier options priced using the SSM.

Barrier options pricing of fractional version of the Black-Scholes model
In this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional Black-Scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. Also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. In this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...
متن کاملPath-Dependent Option Valuation When the Underlying Path Is Discontinuous
The payo s of path-dependent options depend not only on the nal values, but also on the sample paths of the prices of the underlying assets. A rigorous modeling of the underlying asset price processes which can appropriately describe the sample paths is therefore critical for pricing path-dependent options. This paper allows for discontinuities in the sample paths of the underlying asset prices...
متن کاملStudy of the Economic Nature of the Barrier Options and Its Jurisprudential Analysis
The purpose of this study is to investigate the economic and jurisprudential nature of barrier Option. Options are a type of derivative instrument in the financial markets that gives a person the right to buy or sell an asset without obligation. This tool is used along with other types of derivative tools to cover risk and speculation. Two kindes of barrier option are the Knock-In and Knock-out...
متن کاملOption Pricing with Regime Switching Lévy Processes Using Fourier Space Time Stepping
Although jump-diffusion and Lévy models have been widely used in industry, the resulting pricing partial-integro differential equations poses various difficulties for valuation. Diverse finite-difference schemes for solving the problem have been introduced in the literature. Invariably, the integral and diffusive terms are treated asymmetrically, large jumps are truncated and the methods are di...
متن کاملPricing of Some Exotic Options with NIG-Lévy Input
We study the problem of pricing barrier options and Russian options driven by exponential NIG Lévy processes by simulation. Simulating at a discrete grid creates a systematic bias because the minimum and maximum in between grid points is neglected. The proposed solution is to simulate the large jumps only and use a Brownian approximation for the rest combined with explicit formulas for Brownian...
