Recovering a Piecewise Constant Volatility from Perpetual Put Option Prices
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a method to recover a time-homogeneous piecewise constant volatility from a finite set of perpetual put option prices. The whole calculation process of the volatility is decomposed into easy computations in many fixed disjoint intervals. In each interval, the volatility is obtained by solving a system of nonlinear equations.

A Call-Put Duality for Perpetual American Options
It is well known [5], [1] that in models with time-homogeneous local volatility functions and constant interest and dividend rates, the European Put prices are transformed into European Call prices by the simultaneous exchanges of the interest and dividend rates and of the strike and spot price of the underlying. This paper investigates such a Call Put duality for perpetual American options. It...
متن کاملA spectral-collocation method for pricing perpetual American puts with stochastic volatility
Based on the Legendre pseudospectral method, we propose a numerical treatment for pricing perpetual American put option with stochastic volatility. In this simple approach, a nonlinear algebraic equation system is first derived, and then solved by the Gauss-Newton algorithm. The convergence of the current scheme is ensured by constructing a test example similar to the original problem, and comp...
متن کاملForward and Future Implied Volatility
We address the problem of defining and calculating forward volatility implied by option prices when the underlying asset is driven by a stochastic volatility process. We examine alternative notions of forward implied volatility and the information required to extract these measures from the prices of European options at fixed maturities. We then specialize to the SABR model and show how the asy...
متن کاملPricing Perpetual Put Options by the Black–Scholes Equation with a Nonlinear Volatility Function
We investigate qualitative and quantitative behavior of a solution to the problem of pricing American style of perpetual put options. We assume the option price is a solution to a stationary generalized Black-Scholes equation in which the volatility may depend on the second derivative of the option price itself. We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution to the free boundary problem. We de...
متن کاملOn the Perpetual American Put Options for Level Dependent Volatility Models with Jumps
We prove that the perpetual American put option price of level dependent volatility model with compound Poisson jumps is convex and is the classical solution of its associated quasi-variational inequality, that it is C except at the stopping boundary and that it is C everywhere (i.e. the smooth pasting condition always holds).
