Implied Volatility Smirk
This paper studies implied volatility smirk quantitatively. We first propose a new concept of smirkness, which is defined as a triplet of at-the-money implied volatility, skewness (slope at the money) and smileness (curvature at the money) of implied volatility – moneyness curve. The moneyness is the logarithm of the strike price over the forward price, normalized by the standard deviation of e...
متن کاملDeterministic implied volatility models
Abstract In this paper, we characterize two deterministic implied volatility models, defined by assuming that either the per-delta or the per-strike implied volatility surface has a deterministic evolution. Practitioners have recently proposed these two models to describe two regimes of implied volatility (see Derman (1999 Risk 4 55–9)). In an arbitrage-free sticky-delta model, we show that the...
متن کاملNormalization for Implied Volatility
We study specific nonlinear transformations of the Black-Scholes implied volatility to show remarkable properties of the volatility surface. Model-free bounds on the implied volatility skew are given. Pricing formulas for the European options which are written in terms of the implied volatility are given. In particular, we prove elegant formulas for the fair strikes of the variance swap and the...
متن کاملImplied volatility surface
The widespread practice of quoting option prices in terms of their Black-Scholes implied volatilities (IVs) in no way implies that market participants believe underlying returns to be lognormal. On the contrary, the variation of IVs across option strike and term to maturity, which is widely referred to as the volatility surface, can be substantial. In this brief review, we highlight some empiri...
متن کاملImplied Volatility Surface Construction
Implied volatility surfaces are central tools used for pricing options. This thesis treats the topic of their construction. The main purpose is to uncover the most appropriate methodology for constructing implied volatility surfaces from discrete data and evaluate how well it performs. First some methods and techniques in use for such surface constructing are presented. Then the most attractive...
