双跳跃仿射扩散模型的几何平均型水平重置期权定价

在资产收益率及其波动率均满足随机跳跃且具有跳跃相关性的仿射扩散模型下,用广义双指数分布和伽玛分布分别刻画非对称性收益率及其波动率的跳跃波动变化,研究了具有几何平均特征的水平重置期权定价问题.通过Girsanov测度变换和多维Fourier逆变换方法,给出了此类重置期权定价的解析公式.最后,通过数值实例着重分析了联合跳跃参数及杠杆效应对水平重置看涨期权价格的影响,并对风险对冲特征作了分析.结果表明,上跳概率,跳跃频率,杠杆效应,收益率波动的两个跳跃参数和双跳跃相关系数对期权价格有正向影响,上跳和下跳幅度对期权价格有反向影响,而期权的风险对冲参数没有出现明显的跳跃现象.这说明文章建立的期权定价模型比经典Black-Scholes模型具有更好的实际拟合能力.

Two Exotic Lookback Options

This paper formally analyses two exotic options with lookback features, referred to as extreme spread lookback options and look‐barrier options, first introduced by Bermin. The holder of such options receives partial protection from large price movements in the underlying, but at roughly the cost of a plain vanilla contract. This is achieved by increasing the leverage through either floating the strike price (for the case of extreme spread options) or introducing a partial barrier window (for the case of look‐barrier options). We show how to statically replicate the prices of these hybrid exotic derivatives with more elementary European binary options and their images, using new methods first introduced by Buchen and Konstandatos. These methods allow considerable simplification in the analysis, leading to closed‐form representations in the Black–Scholes framework.     

A New Approach to Pricing Double-Barrier Options with Arbitrary Payoffs and Exponential Boundaries

Abstract

We consider in this article the arbitrage free pricing of double knock-out barrier options with payoffs that are arbitrary functions of the underlying asset, where we allow exponentially time-varying barrier levels in an otherwise standard Black–Scholes model. Our approach, reminiscent of the method of images of electromagnetics, considerably simplifies the derivation of analytical formulae for this class of exotics by reducing the pricing of any double-barrier problem to that of pricing a related European option. We illustrate the method by reproducing the well-known formulae of Kunitomo and Ikeda (1992 Kunitomo, N. and Ikeda, M. 1992. Pricing options with curved boundaries. Mathematical Finance, 2: 276–298.  [Google Scholar]) for the standard knock-out double-barrier call and put options. We give an explanation for the rapid rate of convergence of the doubly infinite sums for affine payoffs in the stock price, as encountered in the pricing of double-barrier call and put options first observed by Kunitomo and Ikeda (1992 Kunitomo, N. and Ikeda, M. 1992. Pricing options with curved boundaries. Mathematical Finance, 2: 276–298.  [Google Scholar]).     

High-Order Methods for Exotic Options and Greeks Under Regime-Switching Jump-Diffusion Models

This paper aims to develop high-order numerical methods for solving the system partial differential equations (PDEs) and partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) arising in exotic option pricing under regime-switching models and regime-switching jump-diffusion models, respectively. Using cubic Hermite polynomials, the high-order collocation methods are proposed to solve the system PDEs and PIDEs. This collocation scheme has the second-order convergence rates in time and fourth-order rates in space. The computation of the Greeks for the options is also studied. Numerical examples are carried out to verify the high-order convergence and show the efficiency for computing the Greeks.

Valuation of life insurance surrender and exchange options

In this paper I analyze two American-type options related to life and pension insurance contract. I use Monte Carlo simulations combined with the Longstaff and Schwartz approach for the valuation of American options to find the value of a typical surrender option. I find that the values may be much lower than previously indicated. This reduction of value is due to a different treatment of bonuses, limiting the customers’ ability to forecast the return of their policies. The numerical results show that the value may be higher than the corresponding surrender option.     

Pricing Lookback Options with Knock‐out Boundaries

In the last decade, many kinds of exotic options have been traded and introduced in the financial market. This paper describes a new kind of exotic option, lookback options with knock‐out boundaries. These options are knock‐out options whose pay‐offs depend on the extrema of a given securities price over a certain period of time. Closed form expressions for the price of seven kinds of lookback options with knock‐out boundaries are obtained in this article. The numerical studies have also been presented.     

Perpetual Options on Multiple Underlyings

Abstract

We study three classes of perpetual option with multiple uncertainties and American-style exercise boundaries, using a partial differential equation-based approach. A combination of accurate numerical techniques and asymptotic analyses is implemented, with each approach informing and confirming the other. The first two examples we study are a put basket option and a call basket option, both involving two stochastic underlying assets, whilst the third is a (novel) class of real option linked to stochastic demand and costs (the details of the modelling for this are described in the paper). The Appendix addresses the issue of pricing American-style perpetual options involving (just) one stochastic underlying, but in which the volatility is also modelled stochastically, using the Heston (1993) framework.     

Approximation of Non-Lipschitz SDEs by Picard Iterations

In this article, we propose an approximation method based on Picard iterations deduced from the Doléans–Dade exponential formula. Our method allows to approximate trajectories of Markov processes in a large class, e.g., solutions to non-Lipchitz stochastic differential equation. An application to the pricing of Asian-style contingent claims in the constant elasticity of variance model is presented and compared to other methods of the literature.
