Abstract: | By means of classical It? calculus, we decompose option prices as the sum of the classical Black?CScholes formula, with volatility parameter equal to the root-mean-square future average volatility, plus a term due to correlation and a term due to the volatility of the volatility. This decomposition allows us to develop first- and second-order approximation formulas for option prices and implied volatilities in the Heston volatility framework, as well as to study their accuracy for short maturities. Numerical examples are given. |
