Exotic Geometric Average Options Pricing under Stochastic Volatility
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper derives semi-analytical pricing formulae for geometric average options (GAO) within a stochastic volatility framework. Assuming a general mean reverting process for the underlying asset and a square-root process for the volatility, the cross-moment generating function is derived and the cumulative probabilities are recovered using the Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule. Fixed and floating strikes as well as other exotic GAO on different assets such as stocks, currency exchange rates and interest rates are derived. The approach is found to be very accurate and efficient. JEL Classification: G12; G13; C63

Exotic Options Pricing under Stochastic Volatility
This paper proposes an analytical approximation to price exotic options within a stochastic volatility framework. Assuming a general mean reverting process for the underlying asset and a square-root process for the volatility, we derive an approximation for option prices using a Taylor expansion around two average defined volatilities. The moments of the average volatilities are computed analyt...
متن کاملOption pricing under the double stochastic volatility with double jump model
In this paper, we deal with the pricing of power options when the dynamics of the risky underling asset follows the double stochastic volatility with double jump model. We prove efficiency of our considered model by fast Fourier transform method, Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results using power call options i.e. Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results show that the fast Fourier tra...
متن کاملBarrier option pricing under the 2-hypergeometric stochastic volatility model
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the pricing of financial options under the 2-hypergeometricstochastic volatility model. This is an analytically tractable model which has recently been introducedas an attempt to tackle one of the most serious shortcomings of the famous Black and Scholes optionpricing model: the fact that it does not reproduce the volatility smile and ske...

We present variance reduction methods for Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate European and Asian options in the context of multiscale stochastic volatility models. European option price approximations, obtained from singular and regular perturbation analysis [J.P. Fouque, G. Papanicolaou, R. Sircar and K.

متن کاملTime-change Method in Quantitative Finance by
In this thesis I discuss the method of time-change and its applications in quantitative finance. I mainly consider the time change by writing a continuous diffusion process as a Brownian motion subordinated by a subordinator process. I divide the time change method into two cases: deterministic time change and stochastic time change. The difference lies in whether the subordinator process is a ...
