Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,2, EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The Black-Scholes (or Black-Scholes-Merton) Model has become the standard model for the pricing of options and can surely be seen as one of the main reasons for the growth of the derivative market after the model ́s introduction in 1973. As a consequence, the inventors of the model, Robert Merton, Myron Scholes, and without doubt also Fischer Black, if he had not died in 1995, were awarded the Nobel prize for economics in 1997. The model, however, makes some strict assumptions that must hold true for accurate pricing of an option. The most important one is constant volatility, whereas empirical evidence shows that volatility is heteroscedastic. This leads to increased mispricing of options especially in the case of out of the money options as well as to a phenomenon known as volatility smile. As a consequence, researchers introduced various approaches to expand the model by allowing the volatility to be non-constant and to follow a sto-chastic process. It is the objective of this thesis to investigate if the pricing accuracy of the Black-Scholes model can be significantly improved by applying a stochastic volatility model.

Book Synopsis Empirical Performance of Option Pricing Models with Stochastic Local Volatility by : Greg Orosi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the empirical performance of several stochastic local volatility models that are the extensions of the Heston stochastic volatility model. Our results indicate that the stochastic volatility model with quadratic local volatility significantly outperforms the stochastic volatility model with CEV type local volatility. Moreover, we compare the performance of these models to several other benchmarks and find that the quadratic local volatility model compares well to the best performing option pricing models reported in the current literature for European-style S&P500 index options. Our results also indicate that the model with quadratic local volatility reproduces the characteristics of the implied volatility surface more accurately than the Heston model. Finally, we demonstrate that capturing the shape of the implied volatility surface is necessary to price binary options accurately.

Book Synopsis Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity, Interest Rate, and Credit Derivatives by : Jean-Pierre Fouque
Download or read book Multiscale Stochastic Volatility for Equity, Interest Rate, and Credit Derivatives written by Jean-Pierre Fouque and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the ideas introduced in their previous book, Derivatives in Financial Markets with Stochastic Volatility, the authors study the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives under stochastic volatility in equity, interest-rate, and credit markets. They present and analyze multiscale stochastic volatility models and asymptotic approximations. These can be used in equity markets, for instance, to link the prices of path-dependent exotic instruments to market implied volatilities. The methods are also used for interest rate and credit derivatives. Other applications considered include variance-reduction techniques, portfolio optimization, forward-looking estimation of CAPM 'beta', and the Heston model and generalizations of it. 'Off-the-shelf' formulas and calibration tools are provided to ease the transition for practitioners who adopt this new method. The attention to detail and explicit presentation make this also an excellent text for a graduate course in financial and applied mathematics.
Book Synopsis A Simple New Formula for Options with Stochastic Volatility by : Steven L. Heston
Download or read book A Simple New Formula for Options with Stochastic Volatility written by Steven L. Heston and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows a relationship between bond pricing models and option pricing models with stochastic volatility. It exploits this relationship to find a new stochastic volatility model with a closed-form solution for European option prices. The model allows nonzero correlation between volatility and spot asset returns. When the correlation is unity the model contains the Black-Scholes [1973] model and Cox's [1975] constant elasticity of variance model as special cases. The option formula preserves the Black-Scholes property that changes in volatility are equivalent to changes in option expiration.

Praise for Option Pricing Models & Volatility Using Excel-VBA "Excel is already a great pedagogical tool for teaching option valuation and risk management. But the VBA routines in this book elevate Excel to an industrial-strength financial engineering toolbox. I have no doubt that it will become hugely successful as a reference for option traders and risk managers." —Peter Christoffersen, Associate Professor of Finance, Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University "This book is filled with methodology and techniques on how to implement option pricing and volatility models in VBA. The book takes an in-depth look into how to implement the Heston and Heston and Nandi models and includes an entire chapter on parameter estimation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone interested in derivatives should have this book in their personal library." —Espen Gaarder Haug, option trader, philosopher, and author of Derivatives Models on Models "I am impressed. This is an important book because it is the first book to cover the modern generation of option models, including stochastic volatility and GARCH." —Steven L. Heston, Assistant Professor of Finance, R.H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland

Book Synopsis Stochastic Volatility and FX Option Pricing by : Bernd Mahler
Download or read book Stochastic Volatility and FX Option Pricing written by Bernd Mahler and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes if the implied volatility surface of foreign exchange options should be modelled by using classical stochastic volatility option pricing models or if more complex models like the Stochastic Skew models recently proposed by Carr and Wu (2004) are required. For this purpose three stochastic volatility models including the Heston model (1993), a restricted Heston model, a Hull White (1987) Model as well as three Stochastic Skew models based on different Jump structures, are calibrated and applied to the pricing of EURUSD and USDJPY options issued on the German foreign exchange options retail market. The comparison of market prices and model prices indicate that both for EURUSUD and USDJPY Stochastic Skew models based on time-changed Lévy processes mostly outperform traditional stochastic volatility models like Heston in capturing highly skewed implied volatility surfaces.

Book Synopsis Option Pricing with Long Memory Stochastic Volatility Models by : Zhigang Tong
Download or read book Option Pricing with Long Memory Stochastic Volatility Models written by Zhigang Tong and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now known that long memory stochastic volatility models can capture the well-documented evidence of volatility persistence. However, due to the complex structures of the long memory processes, the analytical formulas for option prices are not available yet. In this book, we propose two fractional continuous time stochastic volatility models which are built on the popular short memory stochastic volatility models. Using the tools from stochastic calculus, fractional calculus and Fourier transform, we derive the (approximate) analytical solutions for option prices. We also numerically study the effects of long memory on option prices. We show that the fractional integration parameter has the opposite effect to that of volatility of volatility parameter. We also find that long memory models can accommodate the short term options and the decay of volatility skew better than the corresponding short memory models. These findings would appeal to the researchers and practitioners in the areas of quantitative finance.
Book Synopsis The Performance of Popular Stochastic Volatility Option Pricing Models During the Subprime Crisis by : Thibaut Moyaert
Download or read book The Performance of Popular Stochastic Volatility Option Pricing Models During the Subprime Crisis written by Thibaut Moyaert and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using daily options prices on the Eurostoxx 50 stock index over the whole year 2008, we compare the performance of three popular stochastic volatility models (Heston, 1993; Bates, 1996; Heston and Nandi, 2'007, in addition to the traditional Black-Scholes model and a proprietary trading desk model. We show that the most consistent in-sample and out-of-sample statistical performance is obtained for the internal model. However, the Bates model seems to be better suited to short term (out-of-the-money) options while the Heston model seems to perform better for medium or long term options. In terms of hedging performance, the Heston and Nandi model exhibits the best average, albeit most volatile, result and the Heston model outperforms the Black and Scholes model in terms of hedging errors, mainly for option contracts that mature in-the-money.
