Construction and Interpretation of Model-Free Implied Volatility∗
The notion of model-free implied volatility (MFIV), constituting the basis for the highly publicized VIX volatility index, can be hard to measure with accuracy due to the lack of precise prices for options with strikes in the tails of the return distribution. This is reflected in practice as the VIX index is computed through a tail-truncation which renders it more compatible with the related co...

متن کاملVolatility derivatives and model-free implied leverage
We revisit robust replication theory of volatility derivatives and introduce a broader class which may be considered as the second generation of volatility derivatives. One of them is a swap contract on the quadratic covariation between an asset price and the model-free implied variance (MFIV) of the asset. It can be replicated in a model-free manner and its fair strike may be interpreted as a ...
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...
متن کاملImplied Volatility: Statics, Dynamics, and Probabilistic Interpretation
Given the price of a call or put option, the Black-Scholes implied volatility is the unique volatility parameter for which the Bulack-Scholes formula recovers the option price. This article surveys research activity relating to three theoretical questions: First, does implied volatility admit a probabilistic interpretation? Second, how does implied volatility behave as a function of strike and ...
