投资者情绪对上证50ETF隐含分布偏度影响的实证研究

从期权价格中提取信息的传统做法是借助于隐含波动率,然而,通过与标的资产的历史数据对比发现,隐含波动率并不能比历史波动率提供更多的市场预期信息。考虑隐含波动率是利用Black-Scholes模型所导出,意味着模型设定风险也可能会影响到结论的客观性与准确性。为了克服传统方法的不足,本文尝试从一种无模型的视角,利用矩方法展开相关研究。该方法不依赖于任何模型和假设,避免了对定价核以及中性概率分布的讨论,直接由期权价格得到股票收益的隐含分布,利用状态价格来确定市场预期收益与风险厌恶。在分布曲线足够光滑(可导)的条件下,通过对行权价格求导得到标的资产未来收益的隐含风险中性概率密度,并测算出隐含分布的高阶矩特征。

An inverse problem of determining the implied volatility in option pricing

In the Black-Scholes world there is the important quantity of volatility which cannot be observed directly but has a major impact on the option value. In practice, traders usually work with what is known as implied volatility which is implied by option prices observed in the market. In this paper, we use an optimal control framework to discuss an inverse problem of determining the implied volatility when the average option premium, namely the average value of option premium corresponding with a fixed strike price and all possible maturities from the current time to a chosen future time, is known. The issue is converted into a terminal control problem by Green function method. The existence and uniqueness of the minimum of the control functional are addressed by the optimal control method, and the necessary condition which must be satisfied by the minimum is also given. The results obtained in the paper may be useful for those who engage in risk management or volatility trading.     

A delayed stochastic volatility correction to the constant elasticity of variance model

The Black-Scholes model does not account non-Markovian property and volatility smile or skew although asset price might depend on the past movement of the asset price and real market data can find a non-flat structure of the implied volatility surface. So, in this paper, we formulate an underlying asset model by adding a delayed structure to the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model that is one of renowned alternative models resolving the geometric issue. However, it is still one factor volatility model which usually does not capture full dynamics of the volatility showing discrepancy between its predicted price and market price for certain range of options. Based on this observation we combine a stochastic volatility factor with the delayed CEV structure and develop a delayed hybrid model of stochastic and local volatilities. Using both a martingale approach and a singular perturbation method, we demonstrate the delayed CEV correction effects on the European vanilla option price under this hybrid volatility model as a direct extension of our previous work [12].     

Stochastic equity volatility related to the leverage effect II: valuation of European equity options and warrants

We propose a general framework to assess the value of the financial claims issued by the firm, European equity options and warrantsin terms of the stock price. In our framework, the firm's asset is assumed to follow a standard stationary lognormal process with constant volatility. However, it is not the case for equity volatility. The stochastic nature of equity volatility is endogenous, and comes from the impact of a change in the value of the firm's assets on the financial leverage. In a previous paper we studied the stochastic process for equity volatility, and proposed analytic approximations for different capital structures. In this companion paper we derive analytic approximations for the value of European equity options and warrants for a firm financed by equity, debt and warrants. We first present the basic model, which is an extension of the Black-Scholes model, to value corporate securities either as a function of the stock price, or as a function of the firm's total assets. Since stock prices are observable, then for practical purposes, traders prefer to use the stock as the underlying instrument, we concentrate on valuation models in terms of the stock price. Second, we derive an exact solution for the valuation in terms of the stock price of (i) a European call option on the stock of a levered firm, i.e. a European compound call option on the total assets of the firm, (ii) an equity warrant for an all-equity firm, and (iii) an equity warrant for a firm financed by equity and debt. Unfortunately, to compute these solutions we need to specify the function of the stock price in terms of the firm's assets value. In general we are unable to specify this expression, but we propose tight bounds for the value of these options which can be easily computed as a function of the stock price. Our results provide useful extensions of the Black-Scholes model.     

An analytic valuation method for multivariate contingent claims with regime-switching volatilities

In this paper, we provide an analytic valuation method for European-type contingent claims written on multiple assets in a stochastic market environment. We employ a two-state Markov regime-switching volatility in order to reflect stochastically changing market conditions. The method is developed by exploiting the probability density of the occupation time for which the underlying asset processes are in a certain regime during a time period. In order to show its usefulness, we derive analytic valuation formulas for quanto options and exchange options with two underlying assets, as examples.     

On extracting information implied in options

Options are financial instruments with a payoff depending on future states of the underlying asset. Therefore option markets contain information about expectations of the market participants about market conditions, e.g. current uncertainty on the market and corresponding risk. A standard measure of risk calculated from plain vanilla options is the implied volatility (IV). IV can be understood as an estimate of the volatility of returns in future period. Another concept based on the option markets is the state-price density (SPD) that is a density of the future states of the underlying asset. From raw data we can recover the IV function by nonparametric smoothing methods. Smoothed IV estimated by standard techniques may lead to a non-positive SPD which violates no arbitrage criteria. In this paper, we combine the IV smoothing with SPD estimation in order to correct these problems. We propose to use the local polynomial smoothing technique. The elegance of this approach is that it yields all quantities needed to calculate the corresponding SPD. Our approach operates only on the IVs—a major improvement comparing to the earlier multi-step approaches moving through the Black–Scholes formula from the prices to IVs and vice-versa.     

Option Pricing and Hedging under a Markov Switching Lévy Process Model

In this paper,we consider a Markov switching Lévy process model in which the underlying risky assets are driven by the stochastic exponential of Markov switching Lévy process and then apply the model to option pricing and hedging.In this model,the market interest rate,the volatility of the underlying risky assets and the N-state compensator,depend on unobservable states of the economy which are modeled by a continuous-time Hidden Markov process.We use the MEMM(minimal entropy martingale measure) as the equivalent martingale measure.The option price using this model is obtained by the Fourier transform method.We obtain a closed-form solution for the hedge ratio by applying the local risk minimizing hedging.     

An inverse finance problem for estimation of the volatility

Black-Scholes model, as a base model for pricing in derivatives markets has some deficiencies, such as ignoring market jumps, and considering market volatility as a constant factor. In this article, we introduce a pricing model for European-Options under jump-diffusion underlying asset. Then, using some appropriate numerical methods we try to solve this model with integral term, and terms including derivative. Finally, considering volatility as an unknown parameter, we try to estimate it by using our proposed model. For the purpose of estimating volatility, in this article, we utilize inverse problem, in which inverse problem model is first defined, and then volatility is estimated using minimization function with Tikhonov regularization.     

Completeness of security markets and solvability of linear backward stochastic differential equations

For a standard Black-Scholes type security market, completeness is equivalent to the solvability of a linear backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE, for short). An ideal case is that the interest rate is bounded, there exists a bounded risk premium process, and the volatility matrix has certain surjectivity. In this case the corresponding BSDE has bounded coefficients and it is solvable leading to the completeness of the market. However, in general, the risk premium process and/or the interest rate could be unbounded. Then the corresponding BSDE will have unbounded coefficients. For this case, do we still have completeness of the market? The purpose of this paper is to discuss the solvability of BSDEs with possibly unbounded coefficients, which will result in the completeness of the corresponding market.
