Option Pricing with Jumps
نویسندگان
چکیده
The double barrier option is characterized by pay-off with strike K, maturity T, upper Su and lower Sd barrier levels and the corresponding rebates φu and φd which can be time dependent. We divide last four quantities by strike K and introduce new variables x = ln(S/K), xu = ln(Su/K), xd = ln(Sd/K). The value of European double barrier call option U(t, x) satisfies the extended Black-Scholes equation

Option Pricing in the Presence of Operational Risk
In this paper we distinguish between operational risks depending on whether the operational risk naturally arises in the context of model risk. As the pricing model exposes itself to operational errors whenever it updates and improves its investment model and other related parameters. In this case, it is no longer optimal to implement the best model. Generally, an option is exercised in a jump-...
متن کاملNumerical Methods of Option Pricing for Two Specific Models of Electricity Prices
In this work, two models are proposed for electricity prices as energy commodity prices which in addition to mean-reverting properties have jumps and spikes, due to non-storability of electricity. The models are simulated using an Euler scheme, and then the Monte-Carlo method is used to estimate the expectation of the discounted cash-flow under historical probability, which is considered as the...
متن کاملEmpirical Performance of Alternative Option Pricing Models
Substantial progress has been made in developing more realistic option pricing models. Empirically, however, it is not known whether and by how much each generalization improves option pricing and hedging. We ll this gap by rst deriving an option model that allows volatility, interest rates and jumps to be stochastic. Using S&P 500 options, we examine several alternative models from three persp...
متن کاملSpectral Iterative Estimation of Tempered Stable Stochastic Volatility Models and Option Pricing
This paper addresses alternative option pricing models and their estimation. The stock price dynamics is modeled by taking into account both stochastic volatility and jumps. Jumps are mimiced by the tempered stable process and stochastic volatility is introduced by time changing the stochastic process. We propose a characteristic function based iterative estimation method, which overcomes the p...
متن کاملJump Starting GARCH: Pricing Options with Jumps in Returns and Volatilities
This paper considers the pricing of options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in asset returns and volatilities. Our model nests Duan’s GARCH option models where conditional returns are constrained to being normal, as well as extends Merton’s jump-diffusion model by allowing return volatility to exhibit GARCH-like behavior. Empirical analysis on the S&P 500 index r...
متن کاملJump Starting GARCH: Pricing and Hedging Options with Jumps in Returns and Volatilities
This paper considers the pricing of options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in asset returns and volatilities. Our model nests Duan’s GARCH option model, as well as generalized versions of Merton’s model where jump risk is priced. Empirical analysis on the S&P 500 index reveals that the incorporation of jumps in returns and volatilities adds significantly to the ...
