چکیده

By extending the GARCH option pricing model of Duan (1995) to more exible volatility estimation it is shown that the prices of out-of-the-money options strongly depend on volatility features such as asymmetry. Results are provided for the properties of the stationary pricing distribution in the case of a threshold GARCH model. For a stock index series with a pronounced leverage eeect, simulated threshold GARCH option prices are substantially closer to observed market prices than the Black/Scholes and simulated GARCH prices.

Stochastic Volatility and Option Pricing with Long-Memory in Discrete and Continuous Time

It is commonly accepted that certain financial data exhibit long-range dependence. We consider a continuous time stochastic volatility model in which the stock price is Geometric Brownian Motion with volatility described by a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We also study two discrete time models: a discretization of the continuous model via an Euler scheme and a discrete model in which t...

Estimation and Pricing under Long-Memory Stochastic Volatility

We treat the problem of option pricing under a stochastic volatility model that exhibits long-range dependence. We model the price process as a Geometric Brownian Motion with volatility evolving as a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We assume that the model has long-memory, thus the memory parameter H in the volatility is greater than 0.5. Although the price process evolves in continuous ...

Preference-Free Option Pricing with Path-Dependent Volatility: A Closed-Form Approach

This paper shows how one can obtain a continuous-time preference-free option pricing model with a path-dependent volatility as the limit of a discrete-time GARCH model. In particular, the continuous-time model is the limit of a discrete-time GARCH model of Heston and Nandi (1997) that allows asymmetry between returns and volatility. For the continuous-time model, one can directly compute closed...

Spectral Iterative Estimation of Tempered Stable Stochastic Volatility Models and Option Pricing

This paper addresses alternative option pricing models and their estimation. The stock price dynamics is modeled by taking into account both stochastic volatility and jumps. Jumps are mimiced by the tempered stable process and stochastic volatility is introduced by time changing the stochastic process. We propose a characteristic function based iterative estimation method, which overcomes the p...
