Lévy Jumps

This paper derives an equilibrium formula for pricing European options and other contingent claims which allows incorporating impacts of several important economic variable on security prices including, among others, representative agent preferences, future volatility and rare jump events. The derived formulae is general and flexible enough to include some important option pricing formulae in the literature, such as Black–Scholes, Naik–Lee, Cox–Ross and Merton option pricing formulae. The existence of jump risk as a potential explanation of the moneyness biases associated with the Black–Scholes model is explored.

Independent Path

Using market covered European call option prices, the Independence Metropolis-Hastings Sampler algorithm for estimating Implied volatility in option pricing was proposed. This algorithm has an acceptance criteria which facilitate accurate approximation of this volatility from an independent path in the Black Scholes Model, from a set of finite data observation from the stock market. Assuming the underlying asset indeed follow the geometric brownian motion, inverted version of the Black Scholes model was used to approximate this Implied Volatility which was not directly seen in the real market: for which the BS model assumes the volatility to be a constant. Moreover, it is demonstrated that, the Implied Volatility from the options market tends to overstate or understate the actual expectation of the market. In addition, a 3-month market Covered European call option data, from 30 different stock companies was acquired from Optionistic.Com, which was used to estimate the Implied volatility. This accurately approximate the actual expectation of the market with low standard errors ranging between 0.0035 to 0.0275.

The Impact

We study the fractional Black–Scholes model (FBSM) of option pricing in the fractal transmission system. In this work, we develop a full-discrete numerical scheme to investigate the dynamic behavior of FBSM. The proposed scheme implements a known L1 formula for the α-order fractional derivative and Fourier-spectral method for the discretization of spatial direction. Energy analysis indicates that the constructed discrete method is unconditionally stable. Error estimate indicates that the 2−α-order formula in time and the spectral approximation in space is convergent with order OΔt2−α+N1−m, where m is the regularity of u and Δt and N are step size of time and degree, respectively. Several numerical results are proposed to confirm the accuracy and stability of the numerical scheme. At last, the present method is used to investigate the dynamic behavior of FBSM as well as the impact of different parameters.
