Using Exponential Lévy Models to Study Implied Volatility patterns for Electricity Options
ثبت نشده
چکیده
German electricity European options on futures using Lévy processes for the underlying asset are examined. Implied volatility evolution, under each of the considered models, is discussed after calibrating for the Merton jump diffusion (MJD), variance gamma (VG), normal inverse Gaussian (NIG), Carr, Geman, Madan and Yor (CGMY) and the Black and Scholes (B&S) model. Implied volatility is examined for the entire sample period, revealing some curious features about market evolution, where data fitting performances of the five models are compared. It is shown that variance gamma processes provide relatively better results and that implied volatility shows significant differences through time, having increasingly evolved. Volatility changes for changed uncertainty, or else, increasing futures prices and there is evidence for the need to account for seasonality when modelling both electricity spot/futures prices and volatility.

The Small-maturity Implied Volatility Slope for Lévy Models
We consider the at-the-money strike derivative of implied volatility as the maturity tends to zero. Our main results quantify the growth of the slope for infinite activity exponential Lévy models. As auxiliary results, we obtain the limiting values of short maturity digital call options, using Mellin transform asymptotics. Finally, we discuss when the at-the-money slope is consistent with the s...

متن کاملImplied volatility explosions: European calls and implied volatilities close to expiry in exponential Lévy models
We examine the small expiry behaviour of the price of call options in models of exponential Lévy type. In most cases of interest, it turns out that E ( (Sτ −K) ) − (S0 −K) ∼ { τ ∫ R (S0e x −K)+ ν(dx), S0 < K, τ ∫ R (K − S0e) ν(dx), S0 > K, as τ → 0+, i.e. as time to expiry goes to zero. (We have written ν for the Lévy measure of the driving Lévy noise.) In “complete generality”, however, we can...
متن کاملRisk measurement and Implied volatility under Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure for Levy process
This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...
متن کاملImplied volatility: small time-to-expiry asymptotics in exponential Lévy models
In this paper, we examine the small time-to-expiry behaviour of implied volatility in models of exponential Lévy type. In the at-the-money case, it turns out that the implied volatility converges, as time-to-expiry goes to zero, to the square root of the Gaussian member of the driving Lévy process’ characteristic triplet. In particular, the limit is zero if the Lévy process has no Gaussian part...
