Pricing Options and Equity-Indexed Annuities in a Regime-switching Model by Trinomial Tree Method

چکیده
In this paper we summarize the main idea and results of Yuen and Yang (2009, 2010a, 2010b) and provide some results on pricing of Parisian options under the Markov regime-switching model (MRSM). The MRSM allows the parameters of the market model depending on a Markovian process, and the model can reflect the information of the market environment which cannot be modeled solely by linear Gaussian process. However, when the parameters of the stock price model are not constant but governed by a Markovian process, the pricing of the options becomes complex. We present a fast and simple trinomial tree model to price options in MRSM. In recent years, the pricing of modern insurance products, such as Equity-Indexed annuity (EIA) and variable annuities (VAs), has become a popular topic. We show here that our trinomial tree model can been used to price EIA with strong path dependent exotic options in the regime switching model.

Option Pricing in a Jump-diffusion Model with Regime Switching
Nowadays, the regime switching model has become a popular model in mathematical finance and actuarial science. The market is not complete when the model has regime switching. Thus, pricing the regime switching risk is an important issue. In Naik (1993), a jump diffusion model with two regimes is studied. In this paper, we extend the model of Naik (1993) to a multi-regime case. We present a trin...
متن کاملOption pricing with regime switching by trinomial tree method
We present a fast and simple tree model to price simple and exotic options in Markov Regime Switching Model (MRSM) with multi-regime. We modify the trinomial tree model of Boyle (1986) by controlling the risk neutral probability measure in different regime states to ensure that the tree model can accommodate the data of all different regimes at the same time preserve its combining tree structur...
متن کاملThe Bino-trinomial Tree: A Simple Model for Efficient and Accurate Option Pricing
Most derivatives do not have simple valuation formulas and must be priced by numerical methods such as tree models. Although the option prices computed by a tree model converges to the theoretical value as the number of time steps increases, the distribution error and the nonlinearity error may make the prices converge slowly or even oscillate significantly. This paper introduces a novel tree m...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging Equity Indexed Annuities with Variance-Gamma Deviates
The author analyzes the pricing and hedging problem for Equity Indexed Annuities (EIAs) with underlying risky assets following a geometric Variance-Gamma process. This model allows accurate and parsimonious replication of the implied volatility smiles observed in the financial market. I argue that this model produces consistency in pricing and hedging between the financial and insurance markets...
