Computations of Greeks in stochastic volatility models via the Malliavin calculus
نویسنده
چکیده
The application of the Malliavin calculus to the computations of price sensitivities were introduced by [1] for models with deterministic volatility. In this work, we compute the Greeks, for stochastic volatility models where the underlying asset price is driven by Brownian information. We consider stochastic volatility models, since these models, unlike those with deterministic volatility, take into account the smile effect. Let (Bt)t∈[0,T ] and (B ′ t)t∈[0,T ] be two independent Brownian motions. We work in a filtered probability space (Ω,F , (Ft)t∈[0,T ], P ), where (Ft)t∈[0,T ] is the naturel filtration generated by B and B ′ . We consider a market with two assets, a riskless one with price (e R

Applications of Malliavin calculus to Monte Carlo methods in finance
This paper presents an original probabilistic method for the numerical computations of Greeks (i.e. price sensitivities) in finance. Our approach is based on the integration-by-parts formula, which lies at the core of the theory of variational stochastic calculus, as developed in the Malliavin calculus. The Greeks formulae, both with respect to initial conditions and for smooth perturbations of...
متن کاملElementary introduction to Malliavin calculus and advanced Monte- Carlo methods II
The aim of these lectures is to provide an elementary introduction to Hörmanders famous results on linear diffusion equations from a probabilistic point of view, and to show how these results can be applied to computational finance in the context of advanced Monte-Carlo methods of diffusion models with stochastic volatility. The lectures are aimed at an audience with some modest knowledge of st...
متن کاملAn 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 کاملLocal Volatility in the Heston Model: a Malliavin Calculus Approach
Within the last ten years there have been many published and unpublished contributions on how to apply Malliavin calculus in the context of mathematical finance. The purpose of this paper is on one side to give the mathematical background for the application of Malliavin calculus in the framework of the Heston stochastic volatility model, and on the other side to provide an applicable formula f...
متن کاملVibrato and automatic differentiation for high order derivatives and sensitivities of financial options
This paper deals with the computation of second or higher order greeks of financial securities. It combines two methods, Vibrato and automatic differentiation and compares with other methods. We show that this combined technique is faster than standard finite difference, more stable than automatic differentiation of second order derivatives and more general than Malliavin Calculus. We present a...
