Multivariate Option Pricing Using Copulae
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complexity of financial products significantly increased in the past ten years. In this paper we investigate the pricing of basket options and more generally of complex exotic contracts depending on multiple indices. Our approach assumes that the underlying assets evolve as dependent GARCH(1,1) processes and it involves to model the dependency among the assets using a copula based on pair-copula constructions. Unlike most previous studies on this topic, we do not assume that the dependence observed between historical asset prices is similar to the dependence under the risk-neutral probability needed for the pricing. The method is illustrated with US market data on basket options written on two or three international indices.

Option 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 کاملNonparametric estimation of pair-copula constructions with the empirical pair-copula
A pair-copula construction is a decomposition of a multivariate copula into a structured system, called regular vine, of bivariate copulae or pair-copulae. The standard practice is to model these pair-copulae parametri-cally, which comes at the cost of a large model risk, with errors propagating throughout the vine structure. The empirical pair-copula proposed in the paper provides a nonparamet...
متن کاملOption Pricing with State-Price Deflators: The Multivariate Exponential Wang Normal Variance: Gamma Asset Pricing Models
Alternatives to the Black-Scholes-Vasicek deflator introduced in [25] are proposed. They are based on the multivariate Wang variance-gamma process considered in [66]. As an application, closed form analytical multiple integral formulas for pricing the European geometric basket option with a deflated multivariate exponential Wang variance-gamma asset pricing model are derived.

متن کاملInteractive expert assignment of minimally-informative copulae
It is increasingly recognized that good reliability practice requires giving attention to the specification of joint distributions for failure times. If the marginal distributions are known then the problem of selecting a marginal distribution is equivalent to that of selecting a copula. In the competing risk situation, identification of the copula alone is important, for together with competin...
متن کاملSelecting and estimating regular vine copulae and application to financial returns
Regular vine distributions which constitute a flexible class of multivariate dependence models are discussed. Since multivariate copulae constructed through pair-copula decompositions were introduced to the statistical community, interest in these models has been growing steadily and they are finding successful applications in various fields. Research so far has however been concentrating on so...
