基于气温指数的我国天气衍生品定价研究

本文以时间序列分析中的ARMA模型和均值回复模型为基础,依据不同的纬度自北向南依次选取了北京、南京、杭州和广州作为合约城市,基于四城市1951-2011年的历史气温数据对各模型参数进行估计,并运用蒙特卡洛模拟定量检验各模型对我国天气衍生品定价的适应性。研究表明:基于日波动率的均值回复模型在预测准确性以及对不同基线温度的适应性方面要优于基于月波动率的均值回复模型和ARMA模型,更适合我国天气衍生品的定价;不同的基线温度对于各模型的预测准确率有较大的影响,因此我国在推出天气衍生品时如果考虑冬夏季月份设置不同的基线温度,那么冬季基线温度不宜过低,夏季基线温度不宜过高。

基于随机波动率状态转移特征的上证50ETF期权定价

期权定价模型的构建过程中，单因子随机波动率模型生成的波动率曲线形状与波动率水平相关性微弱，且无法确切反映波动过程的状态转移特征。为此，本文使用连续马尔可夫链刻画波动状态，在Heston模型的基础上，针对其方差动态过程中所有参数均为波动状态任意函数的情景，得到了一类具有状态转移特征的随机波动率模型；进一步，根据条件仿射模型的特征函数，结合波动路径的蒙特卡罗模拟，实现了欧式期权半解析定价，其中，采用基于粒子滤波的极大似然估计方法估计模型参数；特别地，对上证50ETF期权进行了实证研究。结果表明：具有状态转移特征且方差的基准长期均值及波动率均依赖于波动状态的随机波动率模型，能够显著提升上证50ETF期权定价的准确性和稳健性。

一般均衡下基于产品市场和资本市场的单名CDS定价

次贷危机呼吁新的信用衍生品定价模型, 因此为存在产品市场和资本市场的经济结构建立一般均衡的单名CDS定价模型, 使用最优化求解一般均衡下的商品价格和CDS价格. 可以发现一般均衡的CDS定价具有资本市场和产品市场的因素, 这表示CDS的价格不再是由单纯的资本市场因素决定的, 而是由无风险利率、资本产出弹性、违约率、回收率同时决定的. 通过数量约束用模拟的方式研究多个均衡的动态变化, 发现违约风险的增加使得价格剧烈波动且市场交易萎缩. 在为以中国工商银行为参考资产的CDS定价过程中, 发现各种因素在不同的时期都可能成为定价的主要影响因素. 可以发现, 次贷危机的定价体系存在着信用调整问题和定价与实体经济脱节的问题. 可以认为, 一般均衡下基于产品市场和资本市场的单名CDS定价可以囊括多个市场的交叉影响, 为衍生品定价提供一个新的方向.

Trading volume in models of financial derivatives

This paper develops a subordinated stochastic process model for an asset price, where the directing process is identified as information. Motivated by recent empirical and theoretical work, the paper makes use of the under-used market statistic of transaction count as a suitable proxy for the information flow. An option pricing formula is derived, and comparisons with stochastic volatility models are drawn. Both the asset price and the number of trades are used in parameter estimation. The underlying process is found to be fast mean reverting, and this is exploited to perform an asymptotic expansion. The implied volatility skew is then used to calibrate the model.     

Uniform Asymptotic Expansions for Pricing European Options

Starting with a stochastic volatility model, in which the volatility depends on a nonlinear function of a fast varying diffusion, and assuming the fast diffusion is mean reverting, the problem of pricing European options is considered in this paper. Uniform asymptotic expansions of the option price are obtained. The formal expansions are justified and the uniform error bounds are derived using outer and inner expansions of the option prices.     

Pricing VIX options in a stochastic vol‐of‐vol model

This paper proposes and makes a study of a new model for volatility index option pricing. Factors such as mean‐reversion, jumps, and stochastic volatility are taken into consideration. In particular, the positive volatility skew is addressed by the jump and the stochastic volatility of volatility. Daily calibration is used to check whether the model fits market prices and generates positive volatility skews. Overall, the results show that the mean‐reverting logarithmic jump and stochastic volatility model (called MRLRJSV in the paper) serves as the best model in all the required aspects.

FFT based option pricing under a mean reverting process with stochastic volatility and jumps

Numerous studies present strong empirical evidence that certain financial assets may exhibit mean reversion, stochastic volatility or jumps. This paper explores the valuation of European options when the underlying asset follows a mean reverting log-normal process with stochastic volatility and jumps. A closed form representation of the characteristic function of the process is derived for the computation of European option prices via the fast Fourier transform.     

快速均值回归随机波动率模型参数估计及应用

基于快速均值回归随机波动率模型, 研究双限期权的定价问题, 同时推导了考虑均值回归随机波动率的双限期权的定价公式。 根据金融市场中SPDR S&P 500 ETF期权的隐含波动率数据和标的资产的历史收益数据, 对快速均值回归随机波动率模型中的两个重要参数进行估计。 利用估计得到的参数以及定价公式, 对双限期权价格做了数值模拟。 数值模拟结果发现, 考虑了随机波动率之后双限期权的价格在标的资产价格偏高的时候会小于基于常数波动率模型的期权价格。

Pricing Variance Swaps in a Hybrid Model of Stochastic Volatility and Interest Rate with Regime-Switching

In this paper, we consider the problem of pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps based on a hybrid model of stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate with regime-switching. Our modeling framework extends the Heston stochastic volatility model by including the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) stochastic interest rate model. In addition, certain model parameters in our model switch according to a continuous-time observable Markov chain process. This enables our model to capture several macroeconomic issues such as alternating business cycles. A semi-closed form pricing formula for variance swaps is derived. The pricing formula is assessed through numerical implementation, where we validate our pricing formula against the Monte Carlo simulation. The impact of incorporating regime-switching for pricing variance swaps is also discussed, where variance swaps prices with and without regime-switching effects are examined in our model. We also explore the economic consequence for the prices of variance swaps by allowing the Heston-CIR model to switch across three different regimes.     

Mortality modelling with Lévy processes

This paper addresses the modelling of human mortality by the aid of doubly stochastic processes with an intensity driven by a positive Lévy process. We focus on intensities having a mean reverting stochastic component. Furthermore, driving Lévy processes are pure jump processes belonging to the class of α-stable subordinators. In this setting, expressions of survival probabilities are inferred, the pricing is discussed and numerical applications to actuarial valuations are proposed.     

Option pricing with mean reversion and stochastic volatility

Many underlying assets of option contracts, such as currencies, commodities, energy, temperature and even some stocks, exhibit both mean reversion and stochastic volatility. This paper investigates the valuation of options when the underlying asset follows a mean-reverting lognormal process with stochastic volatility. A closed-form solution is derived for European options by means of Fourier transform. The proposed model allows the option pricing formula to capture both the term structure of futures prices and the market implied volatility smile within a unified framework. A bivariate trinomial lattice approach is introduced to value path-dependent options with the proposed model. Numerical examples using European options, American options and barrier options demonstrate the use of the model and the quality of the numerical scheme.
