A Power Penalty Approach to Numerical Solutions of Two-Asset American Options

This paper aims to develop a power penalty method for a linear parabolic variational inequality (Ⅵ) in two spatial dimensions governing the two-asset Ameri-can option valuation. This method yields a two-dimensional nonlinear parabolic PDE containing a power penalty term with penalty constant λ>1 and a power parameter k>0. We show that the nonlinear PDE is uniquely solvable and the solution of the PDE converges to that of the VI at the rate of order (λ<-k/2>). A fitted finite volume method is designed to solve the nonlinear PDE, and some numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the usefulness of this method.

On nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems with applications to pricing of defaultable bonds and option pricing

This paper considers the estimation of an unknown function h that can be characterized as a solution to a nonlinear operator equation mapping between two infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. The nonlinear operator is unknown but can be consistently estimated, and its inverse is discontinuous, rendering the problem ill-posed. We establish the consistency for the class of estimators that are regularized using general lower semicompact penalty functions. We derive the optimal convergence rates of the estimators under the Hilbert scale norms. We apply our results to two important problems in economics and finance: (1) estimating the parameters of the pricing kernel of defaultable bonds; (2) recovering the volatility surface implied by option prices allowing for measurement error in the option prices and numerical error in the computation of the operator. The first anther was supported by US National Science Foundation (Grant No. SES-0631613) and the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics     

Assessment and propagation of input uncertainty in tree‐based option pricing models

This paper aims to provide a practical example of assessment and propagation of input uncertainty for option pricing when using tree‐based methods. Input uncertainty is propagated into output uncertainty, reflecting that option prices are as unknown as the inputs they are based on. Option pricing formulas are tools whose validity is conditional not only on how close the model represents reality, but also on the quality of the inputs they use, and those inputs are usually not observable. We show three different approaches to integrating out the model nuisance parameters and show how this translates into model uncertainty in the tree model space for the theoretical option prices. We compare our method with classical calibration‐based results assuming that there is no options market established and no statistical model linking inputs and outputs. These methods can be applied to pricing of instruments for which there is no options market, as well as a methodological tool to account for parameter and model uncertainty in theoretical option pricing.

Revisit of stochastic mesh method for pricing American options

From an importance sampling viewpoint, Broadie and Glasserman [M. Broadie, P. Glasserman, A stochastic mesh method for pricing high-dimensional American options, Journal of Computational Finance 7 (4) (2004) 35–72] proposed a stochastic mesh method to price American options. In this paper, we revisit the method from a conditioning viewpoint, and derive some new weights.     

Optimal uniform error estimates for moving least‐squares collocation with application to option pricing under jump‐diffusion processes

In this study, we derive optimal uniform error bounds for moving least‐squares (MLS) mesh‐free point collocation (also called finite point method) when applied to solve second‐order elliptic partial integro‐differential equations (PIDEs). In the special case of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), we show that our estimate improves the results of Cheng and Cheng (Appl. Numer. Math. 58 (2008), no. 6, 884–898) both in terms of the used error norm (here the uniform norm and there the discrete vector norm) and the obtained order of convergence. We then present optimal convergence rate estimates for second‐order elliptic PIDEs. We proceed by some numerical experiments dealing with elliptic PDEs that confirm the obtained theoretical results. The article concludes with numerical approximation of the linear parabolic PIDE arising from European option pricing problem under Merton's and Kou's jump‐diffusion models. The presented computational results (including the computation of option Greeks) and comparisons with other competing approaches suggest that the MLS collocation scheme is an efficient and reliable numerical method to solve elliptic and parabolic PIDEs arising from applied areas such as financial engineering.     

双侧伽马期权定价与B-S模型的比较研究

本文首次运用双侧伽马分布对上证50ETF期权定价进行实证研究,并与经典的B-S模型进行比较。实证结果表明:采用双侧伽马模型来估算期权的理论价格,无论是在95%置信区间下还是在99%置信区间下,双侧伽马模型对于期权价格的测定都要优于B-S模型期权定价,因此,双侧伽马模型可以作为B-S模型的一种改进。
