Dynamics of State Price Densities
State price densities (SPD) are an important element in applied quantitative finance. In a Black-Scholes model they are lognormal distributions with constant volatility parameter. In practice volatility changes and the distribution deviates from log-normality. We estimate SPDs using EUREX option data on the DAX index via a nonparametric estimator of the second derivative of the (European) call ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Stock Price Densities and Implied Volatilities in Mixed Stochastic Models
In this paper, we obtain sharp asymptotic formulas with error estimates for the Mellin convolution of functions defined on (0,∞) and use these formulas to characterize the asymptotic behavior of marginal distribution densities of stock price processes in mixed stochastic models. Special examples of mixed models are jump-diffusion models and stochastic volatility models with jumps. We apply our ...
متن کاملA Model of Instantaneous Price Impact and Implied True Price∗
We show that the S-shaped hyperbolic tangent function of signed volume is appropriate to model the price impact of a trade. This model enables an implied true price to be obtained without relying on the quotes. We compare this implied true price with the quotes’ midpoint. For the 1,748 common stocks traded on the NYSE in 1997, we find that the implied true price is superior than the midpoint in...
متن کاملPricing Weather Derivatives
SPRING 2000 T he impact of weather on business activities is enormous and varies both geographically and seasonally. For example, the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 El Niño conditions were associated with warm winters in the eastern and midwestern U.S., resulting in significant energy cost savings for consumers and businesses. In addition, these conditions suppressed hurricane activities in the Atlant...
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 ...
