Comment on: A note on the discontinuity problem in Heston’s stochastic volatility model

چکیده
Guo and Hung [2007] recently studied the complex logarithm present in the characteristic function of Heston’s stochastic volatility model. They proposed an algorithm for the evaluation of the characteristic function which is claimed to preserve its continuity. We show their algorithm is correct, although their proof is not.

On the Pricing of Forward Starting Options under Stochastic Volatility
We consider the problem of pricing European forward starting options in the presence of stochastic volatility. By performing a change of measure using the asset price at the time of strike determination as a numeraire, we derive a closed-form solution based on Heston’s model of stochastic volatility.

متن کاملEfficient Pricing of European-Style Options under Heston’s Stochastic Volatility Model
Heston’s stochastic volatility model is frequently employed by finance researchers and practitioners. Fast pricing of European-style options in this setting has considerable practical significance. This paper derives a computationally efficient formula for the value of a European-style put under Heston’s dynamics, by utilizing a transform approach based on inverting the characteristic function ...
متن کاملRobust Optimal Control for an Insurer with Reinsurance and Investment under Heston’s Stochastic Volatility Model
This paper considers a robust optimal reinsurance and investment problem under Heston’s Stochastic Volatility (SV) model for an Ambiguity-Averse Insurer (AAI), who worries about model misspecification and aims to find robust optimal strategies. The surplus process of the insurer is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. The financial market consists of one risk-free asset and one risky...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging Options under Stochastic Volatility
In this essay, I mainly discuss how to price and hedge options in stochastic volatility (SV) models. The market is incomplete in the SV model, whereas it is complete in the Black-Scholes model. Thus the option pricing and hedging methods are a little different for the SV model and for the Black-Scholes model. The no-arbitrage argument and the risk-neutral valuation method are two general method...
