基于GARCH-GH模型的上证50ETF期权定价研究

上证50ETF期权是中国推出的首支股票期权.为描述上证50ETF收益率偏态、尖峰、时变波动率等特征,结合GARCH模型和广义双曲(Generalized Hyperbolic,GH)分布两方面的优势,建立GARCH-GH模型为上证50ETF期权定价.在等价鞅测度下,利用蒙特卡罗方法估计上证50ETF欧式认购期权价格.实证表明,相比较Black-Scholes模型和GARCH-Gaussian模型,GARCH-GH模型得到的结果更接近于上证50ETF期权的实际价格,其定价误差最小.

Infinite-Dimensional Black-Scholes Equation with Hereditary Structure

This paper considers the option pricing problem for contingent claims of the European type in a (B,S)-market in which the stock price and the asset in the riskless bank account both have hereditary structures. The Black-Scholes equation for the classical option pricing problem is generalized to an infinite-dimensional equation to include the effects of time delay in the evolution of the financial market as well as a very general payoff function. A computational algorithm for the solution is also obtained via a double sequence of polynomials of a certain bounded linear functional on a Banach space and the time variable.

Valuation of guaranteed minimum maturity benefits in variable annuities with surrender options

We present a numerical approach to the pricing of guaranteed minimum maturity benefits embedded in variable annuity contracts in the case where the guarantees can be surrendered at any time prior to maturity that improves on current approaches. Surrender charges are important in practice and are imposed as a way of discouraging early termination of variable annuity contracts. We formulate the valuation framework and focus on the surrender option as an American put option pricing problem and derive the corresponding pricing partial differential equation by using hedging arguments and Itô’s Lemma. Given the underlying stochastic evolution of the fund, we also present the associated transition density partial differential equation allowing us to develop solutions. An explicit integral expression for the pricing partial differential equation is then presented with the aid of Duhamel’s principle. Our analysis is relevant to risk management applications since we derive an expression of the delta for the sensitivity analysis of the guarantee fees with respect to changes in the underlying fund value. We provide algorithms for implementing the integral expressions for the price, the corresponding early exercise boundary and the delta of the surrender option. We quantify and assess the sensitivity of the prices, early exercise boundaries and deltas to changes in the underlying variables including an analysis of the fair insurance fees.     

Efficient smoothing of Crank-Nicolson method for pricing barrier options under stochastic volatility

Most of the option pricing problems have nonsmooth payoff. In barrier options certain aspects of the option are triggered if the asset price becomes too high or too low. Standard smoothing schemes used to solve problems with nonsmooth payoff do not work well for the barrier option because a discontinuity is introduced in the time domain each time a barrier is applied. An improved smoothing strategy is introduced for smoothing the A -stable Cranck-Nicolson scheme at each time when a barrier is applied. A partial differential equation (PDE) approach is utilized for the evaluation of complex option pricing models under stochastic volatility which brings major mathematical and computational challenges for estimation and stability of the estimates.

Option pricing formulas based on uncertain fractional differential equation

Uncertain fractional differential equations have been playing an important role in modelling complex dynamic systems. Early researchers have presented the extreme value theorems and time integral theorem on uncertain fractional differential equation. As applications of these theorems, this paper investigates the pricing problems of American option and Asian option under uncertain financial markets based on uncertain fractional differential equations. Then the analytical solutions and numerical solutions of these option prices are derived, respectively. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of our results.
