The spot price market for electricity is highly volatile. The time series of the daily average electricity price is characterised by seasonality, mean reversion, jumps, and regime-switching processes. In electricity markets, ‘swing’ contracts, which can provide some protection against the day-to-day price fluctuations, are used to incorporate flexibility in acquiring given quantities of electricity. We develop a lattice approach for the valuation of swing options by modelling the daily average price of electricity by a regime-switching process that utilises three regimes, consisting of Brownian motions and a mean-reverting process. Various numerical examples are presented to illustrate the methodology. 相似文献

Abstract In this paper, we generalize the recently developed dimension reduction technique of Vecer for pricing arithmetic average Asian options. The assumption of constant volatility in Vecer's method will be relaxed to the case that volatility is randomly fluctuating and is driven by a mean-reverting (or ergodic) process. We then use the fast mean-reverting stochastic volatility asymptotic analysis introduced by Fouque, Papanicolaou and Sircar to derive an approximation to the option price which takes into account the skew of the implied volatility surface. This approximation is obtained by solving a pair of one-dimensional partial differential equations. 相似文献

We discuss the pricing and risk management problems of standard European-style options in a Markovian regime-switching binomial model. Due to the presence of an additional source of uncertainty described by a Markov chain, the market is incomplete, so the no-arbitrage condition is not sufficient to fix a unique pricing kernel, hence, a unique option price. Using the minimal entropy martingale measure, we determine a pricing kernel. We examine numerically the performance of a simple hedging strategy by investigating the terminal distribution of hedging errors and the associated risk measures such as Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall. The impacts of the frequency of re-balancing the hedging portfolio and the transition probabilities of the modulating Markov chain on the quality of hedging are also discussed. 相似文献

This paper develops two novel methodologies for pricing and hedging European-style barrier option contracts under the jump to default extended constant elasticity of variance (JDCEV) model, namely: a stopping time approach based on the first passage time densities of the underlying asset price process through the barrier levels; and a static hedging portfolio approach in which the barrier option is replicated by a portfolio of plain-vanilla and binary options. In doing so, both valuation methodologies are extended to a more general set-up accommodating endogenous bankruptcy, time-dependent barriers and the commonly observed stylized facts of a positive link between default and equity volatility and of a negative link between volatility and stock price. The two proposed numerical methods are shown to be accurate, easy to implement and efficient under both the JDCEV model and the nested constant elasticity of variance model. 相似文献

This paper describes European-style valuation and hedging procedures for a class of knockout barrier options under stochastic
volatility. A pricing framework is established by applying mean self-financing arguments and the minimal equivalent martingale
measure. Using appropriate combinations of stochastic numerical and variance reduction procedures we demonstrate that fast
and accurate valuations can be obtained for down-and-out call options for the Heston model. 相似文献

We derive the Green's function for the Black–Scholes partial differential equation with time-varying coefficients and time-dependent boundary conditions. We provide a thorough discussion of its implementation within a pricing algorithm that also accommodates American style options. Greeks can be computed as derivatives of the Green's function. Generic handling of arbitrary time-dependent boundary conditions suggests our approach to be used with the pricing of (American) barrier options, although options without barriers can be priced equally well. Numerical results indicate that knowledge of the structure of the Green's function together with the well-developed tools of numerical integration make our approach fast and numerically stable. 相似文献

In recent years, there has been a remarkable growth of volatility options. In particular, VIX options are among the most actively trading contracts at Chicago Board Options Exchange. These options exhibit upward sloping volatility skew and the shape of the skew is largely independent of the volatility level. To take into account these stylized facts, this article introduces a novel two-factor stochastic volatility model with mean reversion that accounts for stochastic skew consistent with empirical evidence. Importantly, the model is analytically tractable. In this sense, I solve the pricing problem corresponding to standard-start, as well as to forward-start European options through the Fast Fourier Transform. To illustrate the practical performance of the model, I calibrate the model parameters to the quoted prices of European options on the VIX index. The calibration results are fairly good indicating the ability of the model to capture the shape of the implied volatility skew associated with VIX options. 相似文献

We introduce a new analytical approach to price American options. Using an explicit and intuitive proxy for the exercise rule, we derive tractable pricing formulas using a short-maturity asymptotic expansion. Depending on model parameters, this method can accurately price options with time-to-maturity up to several years. The main advantage of our approach over existing methods lies in its straightforward extension to models with stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates. We exploit this advantage by providing an analysis of the impact of volatility mean-reversion, volatility of volatility, and correlations on the American put price. 相似文献

This paper considers a single barrier option under a local volatility model and shows that any down-and-in option can be priced by a combination of three standard European options whose volatility functions are connected through symmetrization. The symmetrized volatility function is approximated by a sequence of smooth functions that converges to the original one. An approximation formula is developed to price the standard European options with the approximated volatility functions. Finally, we apply the Aitken convergence accelerator to obtain an approximate price of the down-and-in option. Other single barrier options are priced in a similar fashion. 相似文献

A risk-based approach for pricing American options under a generalized Markov regime-switching model
This paper considers a risk-based approach for pricing an American contingent claim in an incomplete market described by a continuous-time, Markov, regime-switching jump-diffusion model. We formulate the valuation problem as a stochastic differential game and use dynamic programming. Verification theorems for the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman–Issacs (HJBI) variational inequalities of the games are used to determine the seller's and buyer's prices and optimal exercise strategies. 相似文献

We consider an extension of the model proposed by Moretto, Pasquali, and Trivellato [2010. “Derivative Evaluation Using Recombining Trees under Stochastic Volatility.” Advances and Applications in Statistical Sciences 1 (2): 453–480] (referred to as the MPT model) for pricing foreign exchange (FX) options to the case of stochastic domestic and foreign interest rates driven by the Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross dynamics introduced in Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross [1985. “A Theory of Term Structure of Interest Rates.” Econometrica 53(2): 385–408]. The advantage of the MPT model is that it retains some crucial features of Heston's stochastic volatility model but, as demonstrated in Moretto, Pasquali, and Trivellato [2010. “Derivative Evaluation Using Recombining Trees under Stochastic Volatility.” Advances and Applications in Statistical Sciences 1 (2): 453–480], it is better suited for discretization through recombining lattices, and thus it can also be used to value and hedge exotic FX products. In the model examined in this paper, the instantaneous volatility is correlated with the exchange rate dynamics, but the domestic and foreign short-term rates are assumed to be mutually independent and independent of the dynamics of the exchange rate. The main result furnishes a semi-analytical formula for the price of the FX European call option, which hinges on explicit expressions for conditional characteristic functions. 相似文献

Abstract This paper describes a two-factor model for a diversified market index using the growth optimal portfolio with a stochastic and possibly correlated intrinsic timescale. The index is modelled using a time transformed squared Bessel process with a log-normal scaling factor for the time transformation. A consistent pricing and hedging framework is established by using the benchmark approach. Here the numeraire is taken to be the growth optimal portfolio. Benchmarked traded prices appear as conditional expectations of future benchmarked prices under the real world probability measure. The proposed minimal market model with log-normal scaling produces the type of implied volatility term structures for European call and put options typically observed in real markets. In addition, the prices of binary options and their deviations from corresponding Black–Scholes prices are examined. 相似文献

From an analysis of the time series of realized variance using recent high-frequency data, Gatheral et al. [Volatility is rough, 2014] previously showed that the logarithm of realized variance behaves essentially as a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst exponent H of order 0.1, at any reasonable timescale. The resulting Rough Fractional Stochastic Volatility (RFSV) model is remarkably consistent with financial time series data. We now show how the RFSV model can be used to price claims on both the underlying and integrated variance. We analyse in detail a simple case of this model, the rBergomi model. In particular, we find that the rBergomi model fits the SPX volatility markedly better than conventional Markovian stochastic volatility models, and with fewer parameters. Finally, we show that actual SPX variance swap curves seem to be consistent with model forecasts, with particular dramatic examples from the weekend of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the Flash Crash. 相似文献

Extending the framework of Amin and Jarrow (J Int Money Financ 10:310–329, 1991) and Bo et al. (Insur Math Econ 46:461–469, 2010), this study provides a theoretical exploration of currency options pricing under the presence of interest-rate regime shifts and exchange-rate asymmetric jumps. Evidence of interest-rate regime shifts inferred from UK and US zero coupon bond yields provides support for the regime-switching specifications which we reflect upon the domestic and foreign forward rates. Results of statistical tests conducted on JPY/USD and EUR/USD FX rates provide further support the rationale behind using a double exponential jump diffusion process within a Markov modulated Heath–Jarrow–Morton economy. Our numerical results suggest that, the pricing performance of our model is closely comparable to the Bo-Wang-Yang model for at-the-money options, yet yields improvements in percentage root mean errors for in-the-money options. 相似文献

Carbon markets trade the spot European Union Allowance (EUA), with one EUA providing the right to emit one tone of carbon dioxide (CO2). We examine the spot EUA returns in BlueNext that exhibit jumps and a volatility clustering feature. We propose a regime-switching jump diffusion model (RSJM) with a hidden Markov chain to capture not only a volatility clustering feature, but also the dynamics of the spot EUA returns that are influenced by change in the CO2 emission economic conditions. In addition, the switching jump intensities of the RSJM are shown to be affected by change in the carbon-market macroeconomic environment. We further derive the theoretical futures-option prices with a constant convenience yield under the RSJM via the generalized Esscher transform where regime-switching risk is priced with a risk premium. The empirical study shows that the derived futures-option pricing model under the RSJM with regime-switching risk is a more complete model than a jump diffusion model for pricing CO2 options. 相似文献

In this paper we studyy arithmetic Asian options when the underlying stock is driven by special semimartingale processes. We show that the inherently path dependent problem of pricing Asian options can be transformed into a problem without path dependence in the payoff function. We also show that the price is driven by a process with independent increments, Levy processes being a special case. This approach applies for both discretely or continuously options. 相似文献
