Efficiently pricing barrier options in a Markov-switching framework

An efficient Monte Carlo simulation for the pricing of barrier options in a Markov-switching model is presented. Compared to a brute-force approach, relying on the simulation of discretized trajectories, the presented algorithm simulates the underlying stock price process only at state changes and at maturity. Given these pieces of information, option prices are evaluated using the probability of Brownian bridges not to fall below some threshold level. It is illustrated how two methods of variance reduction, control variates and antithetic variates, further improve the algorithm. In a small case study, the algorithm is applied to the pricing of options with the EuroStoxx 50 as underlying.     

Copula理论在复合期权定价中的应用

本文使用风险中性评价方法分三部分计算了复合期权的价值,针对需要计算联合分布的第二部分,通过选取边缘分布为GARCH模型的二元正态Copula模型进行推理验证,结果求得的联合分布与使用风险中性评价方法的计算结果一致.进一步计算得到了时间相依的复合期权的价值,并且给出了使用Bayes时序诊断法和Z检验来诊断期权定价时其出现价格大的波动时的局部拐点的方法.     

Wick–Itô formula for regular processes and applications to the Black and Scholes formula

We derive a Wick–Itô formula, that is, an Itô-type formula based on Wick integration. We derive it in the context of regular Gaussian processes which include Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than 1/2. We then consider applications to the Black and Scholes formula for the pricing of a European call option. It has been shown that using Wick integration in this context is problematic for economic reasons. We show that it is also problematic for mathematical reasons because the resulting Black and Scholes formula depends only on the variance of the process and not on its dependence structure.     

跳跃-扩散模型资产定价公式的数值计算方法

假定资产价格变化过程服从跳跃-扩散过程,那么基于它的欧式期权就满足一个偏积分-微分方程（PIDE）,本文利用差分法来离散这个PIDE方程,用两种迭代方法得到方程的数值解：基于雅可比正则分裂法和预条件共轭梯度法.     

基于分数O U过程的几何亚式-再装股票期权定价模型

通过将几何亚式期权应用到再装期权中,解决了传统再装期权在再装日按B-S模型执行时所产生的经理激励问题,建立了几何亚式-再装股票期权的定价模型,并在股价服从分数O-U过程下得到了相应的定价公式.通过模拟分析发现,与传统再装期权相比,几何亚式-再装期权的价值要低一些,这说明几何亚式-再装股票期权能更好地降低代理成本.

Compact finite difference schemes of the time fractional Black-Scholes model

In this paper, three compact difference schemes for the time-fractional Black-Scholes model governing European option pricing are presented. Firstly, in order to obtain the fourth-order accuracy in space by applying the Pad\''{e} approximation, we eliminate the convection term of the B-S equation by an exponential transformation. Then the time fractional derivative is approximated by $L1$ formula, $L2 - 1_\sigma$ formula and $L1 - 2$ formula respectively, and three compact difference schemes with oders $O(\Delta t^{2-\alpha}+h ^4)$, $O(\Delta t^{2}+h ^4)$ and $O(\Delta t^{3-\alpha}+h ^4)$ are constructed. Finally, numerical example is carried out to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of proposed methods, and the comparisons of various schemes are given. The paper also provides numerical studies including the effect of fractional orders and the effect of different parameters on option price in time-fractional B-S model.     

股票价格随机变动的内生性解释及其应用

建立了一个非对称信息下的重复博弈模型来刻画股票市场中庄家和散户的博弈行为,推导出股票价格的折现过程服从一个由布朗运动驱动的鞅过程,并给出股票价格随机变动的内生性解释:在博弈过程中庄家为了隐藏散户所不知道的信息采用随机化策略来迷惑对手,从而导致股票价格的随机变动.在此基础上,进一步研究了相应的期权定价问题并给出期权定价公式.
