  • We propose a number of finite difference methods for the prices of a European option under the CGMY model. These numerical methods to solve a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) are based on three time levels in order to avoid fixed point iterations arising from an integral operator. Numerical simulations are carried out to compare these methods with each other for pricing the European option under the CGMY model.

  • We provide a partial differential equation for European options on a stock whose price process follows a general geometric Riemannian Brownian motion. The existence and the uniqueness of solutions to the partial differential equation are investigated, and then an expression of the value for European options is obtained using the fundamental solution technique. Proper Riemannian metrics on the real number field can make the distribution of return rates of the stock induced by our model have the character of leptokurtosis and fat-tail; in addition, they can also explain option pricing bias and implied volatility smile (skew).

  • In this paper, we investigate a time-dependent double obstacle problem associated with the model of European call option pricing with transaction costs. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a W2,1p,loc solution to the problem. We then characterize the behavior of the free boundaries in terms of continuity and values of limit points.

  • In this paper, we derive the nonlinear equation for European option pricing containing liquidity risk which can be defined as the inverse of the partial derivative of the underlying asset price with respect to the amount of assets traded in the efficient market. Numerical solutions are obtained by using finite element method and compared with option prices of KOSPI200 Stock Index. These prices computed with liquidity risk are considered more realistic than the prices of Black-Scholes model without liquidity risk.

  • In this study we conduct a specification test of at-the-money option volatility. Results show that the implied volatility estimate recovered from the Black-Scholes European option pricing model is nearly indistinguishable from the implied volatility estimate obtained from the Barone-Adesi and Whaley's American option pricing model. This study also investigates whether the use of Black-Scholes implied volatility estimates in American put pricing model significantly affect the prediction the prediction of American put option prices. Results show that, at long as the possibility of early exercise is carefully controlled in calculation of implied volatilities prediction of American put prices is not significantly distorted. This suggests that at-the-money option implied volatility estimates are robust across option pricing model.

  • This paper suggests the price of vulnerable European option under a constant elasticity of variance model by using asymptotic analysis technique and obtains the approximated solution of the option price. Finally, we illustrate an accuracy of the vulnerable option price so that the approximate solution is well-defined.

  • We present an improved binomial method for pricing European- and American-type Asian options based on the arithmetic average of the prices of the underlying asset. At each node of the tree we propose a simple algorithm to choose the representative averages among all the effective averages. Then the backward valuation process and the interpolation are performed to compute the price of the option. The simulation results for European and American Asian options show that the proposed method gives much more accurate price than other recent lattice methods with less computational effort.
