An Empirical Study of Option Prices under the Hybrid Brownian Motion Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we mainly discuss an empirical study of option prices under the hybrid Brownian motion model developed by [1]. In a specific case of parameters, we have a simple transition probability density function that has a fattailed feature as time passes. We show some empirical evidences that the feature of the model reflects the real market price movements in Japanese stock market. Furthermore, we make a performance comparison between the hybrid model and the BS model using Nikkei 225 call options. In general our results show that the hybrid model is slightly better than the BS model.

Estimation and Pricing under Long-Memory Stochastic Volatility
We treat the problem of option pricing under a stochastic volatility model that exhibits long-range dependence. We model the price process as a Geometric Brownian Motion with volatility evolving as a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We assume that the model has long-memory, thus the memory parameter H in the volatility is greater than 0.5. Although the price process evolves in continuous ...
متن کاملOption Pricing on Commodity Prices Using Jump Diffusion Models
In this paper, we aim at developing a model for option pricing to reduce the risks associated with Ethiopian commodity prices fluctuations. We used the daily closed Unwashed Lekempti grade 5 (ULK5) coffee and Whitish Wollega Sesame Seed Grade3 (WWSS3) prices obtained from Ethiopia commodity exchange (ECX) market to analyse the prices fluctuations.The natures of log-returns of the prices exhibit a...
متن کاملConsistency of the Geometric Brownian Motion Model of Stock Prices with Asymmetric Information
This work is concentrated on the microeconomic foundation of modern option pricing models. We develop a model of market agents’ interactions, induced by heterogeneity of information, which is consistent with both modern option pricing models and empirical facts about stock price behavior. In particular, we focus on the connection between volatility and trading volume. We show that the geometric...
متن کاملMeixner Processes in Finance ∗
In the Black-Scholes option price model Brownian motion and the underlying Normal distribution play a fundamental role. Empirical evidence however shows that the normal distribution is a very poor model to fit real-life data. In order to achieve a better fit we replace the Brownian motion by a special Lévy process: the Meixner process. We show that the underlying Meixner distribution allows an ...
متن کاملPricing Model for Convertible Bonds: A Mixed Fractional Brownian Motion with Jumps
A mathematical model to price convertible bonds involving mixed fractional Brownian motion with jumps is presented. We obtain a general pricing formula using the risk neutral pricing principle and quasi-conditional expectation. The sensitivity of the price to changing various parameters is discussed. Theoretical prices from our jump mixed fractional Brownian motion model are compared with the p...
