Correction: Exchange Option under Jump-diffusion Dynamics

Abstract

In this note, we provide the correct formula for the price of the European exchange option given in Cheang, G. H. L., & Chiarella, C. (2011. Exchange options under jump-diffusion dynamics. Applied Mathematical Finance, 18, 245–276) in a bi-dimensional jump diffusion model.     

On the Approximation of the SABR with Mean Reversion Model: A Probabilistic Approach

Abstract

In this paper, we study the stochastic alpha beta rho with mean reversion model (SABR-MR). We first compare the SABR model with the SABR-MR model in terms of future volatility to point out the fundamental difference in the models’ dynamics. We then derive an efficient probabilistic approximation for the SABR-MR model to price European options. Similar to the method derived in Kennedy, J. E., Mitra, S., & Pham, D. (2012). On the approximation of the SABR model: A probabilistic approach. Applied Mathematical Finance, 19(6), 553–586., we focus on capturing the terminal distribution of the underlying asset (conditional on the terminal volatility) to arrive at the implied volatilities of the corresponding European options for all strikes and maturities. Our resulting method allows us to work with a wide range of parameters that cover the long-dated option and different market conditions.     

Reflected mean-field backward stochastic differential equations. Approximation and associated nonlinear PDEs

Mathematical mean-field approaches have been used in many fields, not only in Physics and Chemistry, but also recently in Finance, Economics, and Game Theory. In this paper we will study a new special mean-field problem in a purely probabilistic method, to characterize its limit which is the solution of mean-field backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with reflections. On the other hand, we will prove that this type of reflected mean-field BSDEs can also be obtained as the limit equation of the mean-field BSDEs by penalization method. Finally, we give the probabilistic interpretation of the nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential equations with the obstacles by the solutions of reflected mean-field BSDEs.     

Sample path Large Deviations and optimal importance sampling for stochastic volatility models

Sample path Large Deviation Principles (LDP) of the Freidlin–Wentzell type are derived for a class of diffusions, which govern the price dynamics in common stochastic volatility models from Mathematical Finance. LDP are obtained by relaxing the non-degeneracy requirement on the diffusion matrix in the standard theory of Freidlin and Wentzell. As an application, a sample path LDP is proved for the price process in the Heston stochastic volatility model.     

Re-specification of Affine Term Structure Models: The Linkage to Empirical Investigations

Abstract

This paper specifies the dynamic and cross-sectional behaviour of bonds in the framework of the general affine term structure model (ATSM) of Duffie and Kan (1996, A yield-factor model of interest rate. Mathematical Finance, 6, 379–406). We present the calibrations of ATSM, with the numerics fitting in with the actual data under the physical probability measure. Without assumptions and restrictions on any specific physical process of the factors, we find theoretical loads by solving Riccati equations with parameters chosen for the solution to match those from the principal component models. The general condition on the boundary is satisfied; so, the Black-Scholes equation admits a unique solution, which supports the Condition of Duffie and Kan.     

No Arbitrage: On the Work of David Kreps

Since the seminal papers by Black, Scholes and Merton on the pricing of options (Nobel Prize for Economics, 1997), the theory of No Arbitrage plays a central role in Mathematical Finance. Pioneering work on the relation between no arbitrage arguments and martingale theory has been done in the late seventies by M. Harrison, D. Kreps and S. Pliska. In the present note we give a brief survey on the relation of the theory of No-Arbitrage to coherent pricing of derivative securities. We focus on a seminal paper published by D. Kreps in 1981, and give a solution to an open problem posed in this paper.     

Optimal Basket Liquidation for CARA Investors is Deterministic

Abstract

We consider the problem faced by an investor who must liquidate a given basket of assets over a finite time horizon. The investor's goal is to maximize the expected utility of the sales revenues over a class of adaptive strategies. We assume that the investor's utility has constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) and that the asset prices are given by a very general continuous-time, multiasset price impact model. Our main result is that (perhaps surprisingly) the investor does no worse if he narrows his search to deterministic strategies. In the case where the asset prices are given by an extension of the nonlinear price impact model of Almgren [(2003) Applied Mathematical Finance, 10, pp. 1–18], we characterize the unique optimal strategy via the solution of a Hamilton equation and the value function via a nonlinear partial differential equation with singular initial condition.     

Mean field games

We survey here some recent studies concerning what we call mean-field models by analogy with Statistical Mechanics and Physics. More precisely, we present three examples of our mean-field approach to modelling in Economics and Finance (or other related subjects...). Roughly speaking, we are concerned with situations that involve a very large number of “rational players” with a limited information (or visibility) on the “game”. Each player chooses his optimal strategy in view of the global (or macroscopic) informations that are available to him and that result from the actions of all players. In the three examples we mention here, we derive a mean-field problem which consists in nonlinear differential equations. These equations are of a new type and our main goal here is to study them and establish their links with various fields of Analysis. We show in particular that these nonlinear problems are essentially well-posed problems i.e., have unique solutions. In addition, we give various limiting cases, examples and possible extensions. And we mention many open problems. This article is based on the 1st Takagi Lectures that the second author delivered at Research Institue for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University on November 25 and 26, 2006.

A note on the central limit theorem for bipower variation of general functions

In this paper we present a central limit theorem for general functions of the increments of Brownian semimartingales. This provides a natural extension of the results derived in [O.E. Barndorff-Nielsen, S.E. Graversen, J. Jacod, M. Podolskij, N. Shephard, A central limit theorem for realised power and bipower variations of continuous semimartingales, in: From Stochastic Analysis to Mathematical Finance, Festschrift for Albert Shiryaev, Springer, 2006], where the central limit theorem was shown for even functions. We prove an infeasible central limit theorem for general functions and state some assumptions under which a feasible version of our results can be obtained. Finally, we present some examples from the literature to which our theory can be applied.
