A Market Model for Stochastic Implied Volatility
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a stochastic volatility model is presented that directly prescribes the stochastic development of the implied Black-Scholes volatilities of a set of given standard options. Thus the model is able to capture the stochastic movements of a full term structure of implied volatilities. The conditions are derived that have to be satisfied to ensure absence of arbitrage in the model and its numerical implementation is discussed.

Implied and Local Correlations from Spread Options
The multivariate lognormal model is a basic pricing model for derivatives with multiple underlying processes, for example, spread options. However, the market observation of implied correlation skew examplifies how inaccurate the constant correlation assumption in the multivariate lognormal model can be. In this paper, we study alternative modeling approaches that generate implied correlation s...
متن کاملExtended Libor Market Models with Affine and Quadratic Volatility
The market model of interest rates specifies simple forward or Libor rates as log-normally distributed, their stochastic dynamics has a linear volatility function. In this paper, the model is extended to quadratic volatility functions which are the product of a quadratic polynomial and a level-independent covariance matrix. The extended Libor market models allow for closed form cap pricing form...

prices as a function of volatility. If an option price is given by the market we can invert this relationship to get the implied volatility. If the model were perfect, this implied value would be the same for all option market prices, but reality shows this is not the case. Implied Black–Scholes volatilities strongly depend on the maturity and the strike of the European option under scrutiny. I...
متن کاملA Comparison between the stochastic intensity SSRD Model and the Market Model for CDS Options Pricing ∗
In this paper we investigate implied volatility patterns in the Shifted Square Root Diffusion (SSRD) model as functions of the model parameters. We begin by recalling the Credit Default Swap (CDS) options market model that is consistent with a market Black-like formula, thus introducing a notion of implied volatility for CDS options. We examine implied volatilies coming from SSRD prices and cha...
متن کاملCapital Structure Effects on Prices of Firm Stock Options: Tests Using Implied Market Values of Corporate Debt
This paper introduces a new methodology for measuring and analyzing capital structure effects on option prices of individual firms in the economy. By focusing on individual firms we examine the cross sectional effects of leverage on option prices. Our methodology allows the market value of each firm’s debt to be implied directly from two contemporaneous, liquid, at-the-money option prices witho...
