Malliavin Calculus for Levy Markets and New Sensitivities
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We present a method to apply the Malliavin calculus to calculate sensitivities for exponential Levy models built from the Variance Gamma and Normal Inverse Gaussian processes. We also present new sensitivities for these processes. The calculation of the sensitivities is based on a finite dimensional Malliavin calculus and we compare the results with finite difference calculations. This is done using Monte Carlo methods. For European call and digital options we compare the simulation results with exact calculation of sensitivities using Fourier transform methods. The Malliavin method outperforms the finite difference method especially when payoff has serious discontinuities.

On The Price Sensitivities During Financial Crisis
The computation of the price sensitivities is of paramount importance in financial risk management. Several new approaches have been recently suggested in the literature for this purpose. However, there is lack of studies that investigate this issue during financial crises. During crises volatility is naturally higher than normal situations. This is going to affect the underlying option pricing...
متن کاملMalliavin Greeks without Malliavin Calculus
We derive and analyze Monte Carlo estimators of price sensitivities (“Greeks”) for contingent claims priced in a diffusion model. There have traditionally been two categories of methods for estimating sensitivities: methods that differentiate paths and methods that differentiate densities. A more recent line of work derives estimators through Malliavin calculus. The purpose of this article is t...

متن کاملStochastic Differential Games in Insider Markets via Malliavin Calculus
In this paper we use techniques of Malliavin calculus and forward integration to present a general stochastic maximum principle for anticipating stochastic differential equations driven by a Lévy type of noise. We apply our result to study a general stochastic differential game problem of an insider. MSC2010 : 60G51, 60H40, 60H10, 60HXX, 93E20
متن کاملSensitivities via Rough Paths
Motivated by a problematic coming from mathematical finance, the paper deals with existing and additional results on the continuity and the differentiability of the Itô map associated to rough differential equations. These regularity results together with the Malliavin calculus are applied to the sensitivities analysis of stochastic differential equations driven by multidimensional Gaussian pro...
