平均期权是亚式期权,其到期收益依赖于某个形式的整个期权有效期内或是其一部分时段内标的资产的平均价格.障碍期权指的是期权是否有效或是否执行决定于标的资产价格在期权有效期内是否碰上障碍.本文主要讨论几何平均资产在期权有效期内设有障碍的期权定价公式,并运用反射原理和回望期权的方法来推导出期权的定价公式.

Pricing and Hedging of Lookback Options in Hyper-exponential Jump Diffusion Models

ABSTRACT

In this article, we consider the problem of pricing lookback options in certain exponential Lévy market models. While in the classic Black-Scholes models the price of such options can be calculated in closed form, for more general asset price model, one typically has to rely on (rather time-intense) Monte-Carlo or partial (integro)-differential equation (P(I)DE) methods. However, for Lévy processes with double exponentially distributed jumps, the lookback option price can be expressed as one-dimensional Laplace transform (cf. Kou, S. G., Petrella, G., & Wang, H. (2005). Pricing path-dependent options with jump risk via Laplace transforms. The Kyoto Economic Review, 74(9), 1–23.). The key ingredient to derive this representation is the explicit availability of the first passage time distribution for this particular Lévy process, which is well-known also for the more general class of hyper-exponential jump diffusions (HEJDs). In fact, Jeannin and Pistorius (Jeannin, M., & Pistorius, M. (2010). A transform approach to calculate prices and Greeks of barrier options driven by a class of Lévy processes. Quntitative Finance, 10(6), 629–644.) were able to derive formulae for the Laplace transformed price of certain barrier options in market models described by HEJD processes. Here, we similarly derive the Laplace transforms of floating and fixed strike lookback option prices and propose a numerical inversion scheme, which allows, like Fourier inversion methods for European vanilla options, the calculation of lookback options with different strikes in one shot. Additionally, we give semi-analytical formulae for several Greeks of the option price and discuss a method of extending the proposed method to generalized hyper-exponential (as e.g. NIG or CGMY) models by fitting a suitable HEJD process. Finally, we illustrate the theoretical findings by some numerical experiments.     

Static super-replicating strategies for a class of exotic options

In this paper, we investigate static super-replicating strategies for European-type call options written on a weighted sum of asset prices. This class of exotic options includes Asian options and basket options among others. We assume that there exists a market where the plain vanilla options on the different assets are traded and hence their prices can be observed in the market. Both the infinite market case (where prices of the plain vanilla options are available for all strikes) and the finite market case (where only a finite number of plain vanilla option prices are observed) are considered. We prove that the finite market case converges to the infinite market case when the number of observed plain vanilla option prices tends to infinity.We show how to construct a portfolio consisting of the plain vanilla options on the different assets, whose pay-off super-replicates the pay-off of the exotic option. As a consequence, the price of the super-replicating portfolio is an upper bound for the price of the exotic option. The super-hedging strategy is model-free in the sense that it is expressed in terms of the observed option prices on the individual assets, which can be e.g. dividend paying stocks with no explicit dividend process known. This paper is a generalization of the work of Simon et al. [Simon, S., Goovaerts, M., Dhaene, J., 2000. An easy computable upper bound for the price of an arithmetic Asian option. Insurance Math. Econom. 26 (2–3), 175–184] who considered this problem for Asian options in the infinite market case. Laurence and Wang [Laurence, P., Wang, T.H., 2004. What’s a basket worth? Risk Mag. 17, 73–77] and Hobson et al. [Hobson, D., Laurence, P., Wang, T.H., 2005. Static-arbitrage upper bounds for the prices of basket options. Quant. Fin. 5 (4), 329–342] considered this problem for basket options, in the infinite as well as in the finite market case.As opposed to Hobson et al. [Hobson, D., Laurence, P., Wang, T.H., 2005. Static-arbitrage upper bounds for the prices of basket options. Quant. Fin. 5 (4), 329–342] who use Lagrange optimization techniques, the proofs in this paper are based on the theory of integral stochastic orders and on the theory of comonotonic risks.     

Pricing of American lookback spread options

We find the closed form formula for the price of the perpetual American lookback spread option, whose payoff is the difference of the running maximum and minimum prices of a single asset. We solve an optimal stopping problem related to both maximum and minimum. We show that the spread option is equivalent to some fixed strike options on some domains, find the exact form of the optimal stopping region, and obtain the solution of the resulting partial differential equations. The value function is not differentiable. However, we prove the verification theorem due to the monotonicity of the maximum and minimum processes.

A Pricing Model for American Options with Gaussian Interest Rates

In this paper we introduce a new methodology to price American put options under stochastic interest rates. We derive an analytic approximation that can be evaluated very fast and is fairly accurate. The method uses the so-called forward risk adjusted measure to derive analytic prices. We show that for American puts the correlation between the stock price and the interest rate has different influences on European option values and early exercise premiums.     

Game options with gradual exercise and cancellation under proportional transaction costs

ABSTRACT

Game (Israeli) options in a multi-asset market model with proportional transaction costs are studied in the case when the buyer is allowed to exercise the option and the seller has the right to cancel the option gradually at a mixed (or randomized) stopping time, rather than instantly at an ordinary stopping time. Allowing gradual exercise and cancellation leads to increased flexibility in hedging, and hence tighter bounds on the option price as compared to the case of instantaneous exercise and cancellation. Algorithmic constructions for the bid and ask prices, and the associated superhedging strategies and optimal mixed stopping times for both exercise and cancellation are developed and illustrated. Probabilistic dual representations for bid and ask prices are also established.     

Hedging of game options in discrete markets with transaction costs

Game options introduced in [10] in 2000 were studied, by now, mostly in frictionless both complete and incomplete markets. In complete markets the fair price of a game option coincides with the value of an appropriate Dynkin's game, whereas in markets with friction and in incomplete ones there is a range of arbitrage free prices and superhedging comes into the picture. Here we consider game options in general discrete time markets with transaction costs and construct backward and forward induction algorithms for the computation of their prices and superhedging strategies from both seller's (upper arbitrage free price) and buyer's (lower arbitrage free price) points of view extending to the game options case most of the results from [12].     

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.     

Two asset-barrier option under stochastic volatility

Financial products which depend on hitting times for two underlying assets have become very popular in the last decade. Three common examples are double-digital barrier options, two-asset barrier spread options and double lookback options. Analytical expressions for the joint distribution of the endpoints and the maximum and/or minimum values of two assets are essential in order to obtain quasi-closed form solutions for the price of these derivatives. Earlier authors derived quasi-closed form pricing expressions in the context of constant volatility and correlation. More recently solutions were provided in the presence of a common stochastic volatility factor but with restricted correlations due to the use of a method of images. In this article, we generalize this finding by allowing any value for the correlation. In this context, we derive closed-form expressions for some two-asset barrier options.
