Pricing formulae for derivatives in insurance using the Malliavin calculus *

چکیده
In this paper we provide a valuation formula for different classes of actuarial and financial contracts which depend on a general loss process, by using the Malliavin calculus. In analogy with the celebrated Black-Scholes formula, we aim at expressing the expected cash flow in terms of a building block. The former is related to the loss process which is a cumulated sum indexed by a doubly stochastic Poisson process of claims allowed to be dependent on the intensity and the jump times of the counting process. For example, in the context of Stop-Loss contracts the building block is given by the distribution function of the terminal cumulated loss, taken at the Value at Risk when computing the Expected Shortfall risk measure.

Malliavin Calculus applied to Finance
In this article, we give a brief informal introduction to Malliavin Calculus for newcomers. We apply these ideas to the simulation of Greeks in Finance. First to European-type options where formulas can be computed explicitly and therefore can serve as testing ground. Later we study the case of Asian options where close formulas are not available, and we also open the view for including more ex...
متن کاملOn Pricing Barrier Options with Discrete Monitoring
This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula and the duality formula in Malliavin calculus are effectively applied in an asymptotic expansion approach. First, the paper derives an asymptotic expansion for generalized Wiener functionals. After it is appl...
متن کاملStochastic expansion for the pricing of call options with discrete dividends
In the context of an asset paying affine-type discrete dividends, we present closed analytical approximations for the pricing of European vanilla options in the Black-Scholes model with time-dependent parameters. They are obtained using a stochastic Taylor expansion around a shifted lognormal proxy model. The final formulae are respectively first, second and third order approximations w.r.t. th...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods for pricing and hedging American options in high dimension
We numerically compare some recent Monte Carlo algorithms devoted to the pricing and hedging American options in high dimension. In particular, the comparison concerns the quantization method of Barraquand-Martineau and an algorithm based on Malliavin calculus. The (pure) Malliavin calculus algorithm improves the precision of the computation of the delta but, merely for pricing purposes, is unc...
متن کاملA generalization of Hull and White formula and applications to option pricing approximation
By means of Malliavin Calculus we see that the classical Hull and White formula for option pricing can be extended to the case where the noise driving the volatility process is correlated with the noise driving the stock prices. This extension will allow us to construct option pricing approximation formulas. Numerical examples are presented.
