This paper studies the problem of option pricing in an incomplete market. The market incompleteness comes from the discontinuity of the underlying asset price process which is, in particular, assumed to be a compound Poisson process. To find a reasonable price for a European contingent claim, we first find the unique minimal martingale measure and get a price by taking an expectation of the payoff under this measure. To get a closed-form price, we use an asymptotic expansion. In case where the minimal martingale measure is a signed measure, we use a sequence of martingale measures (probability measures) that converges to the equivalent martingale measure in the limit to compute the price. Again, we get a closed form of asymptotic option price. It is the Black-Scholes price and a correction term, when the distribution of the return process has nonzero skewness up to the first order.

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.

This paper approaches the problem of option pricing in an incomplete market, where the underlying asset price process follows a compound Poisson model. We assume that the price process follows a compound Poisson model under an equivalent martingale measure and it converges weakly to the Black-Scholes model. First, we express the option price as the expectation of the discounted payoff and expand it at the Black-Scholes price to obtain a pricing formula with three unknown parameters. Then we estimate those parameters using the market option data. This method can use the option data on the same stock with different expiration dates and different strike prices.

Foreign exchange options are derivative financial instruments that can exchange one currency for another at a prescribed exchange rate on a specified date. In this study, we examine the analytic formulas for vulnerable foreign exchange options based on multi-scale stochastic volatility driven by two diffusion processes: a fast mean-reverting process and a slow mean-reverting process. In particular, we take advantage of the asymptotic analysis and the technique of the Mellin transform on the partial differential equation (PDE) with respect to the option price, to derive approximated prices that are combined with a leading order price and two correction term prices. To verify the price accuracy of the approximated solutions, we utilize the Monte Carlo method. Furthermore, in the numerical experiments, we investigate the behaviors of the vulnerable foreign exchange options prices in terms of model parameters and the sensitivities of the stochastic volatility factors to the option price.

In the over-the-counter market, option's buyers could have a problem for default risk caused by option's writers. In addition, many participants try to maximize their benefits obviously in investing the financial derivatives. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, we deal with the vulnerable power options under a constant elasticity variance (CEV) model. We derive an analytic pricing formula for the vulnerable power option by using the asymptotic analysis, and then we verify that the analytic formula can be obtained accurately by comparing our solution with Monte-Carlo price. Finally, we examine the effect of CEV on the option price based on the derived solution.

옵션의 가격을 결정하는 문제에서 블랙-숄즈 모형이 가지는 단점을 보완하기 위해 블랙-숄즈 가격을 선도항으로 하여 보정항을 구하는 근사적 옵션가격의 결정방법을 고려하였다. 이러한 근사적 가격결정 방법들은 비교적 적은 자료를 가지고 간단한 계산으로 다양한 형태의 위험중립 확률분포에 의한 옵션가격을 계산할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 일반적으로 관찰되는 시장상황을 모사한 모의실험과 실제 시장에서 관측되는 KOSPI200 옵션가격 자료를 통해 몇 가지 근사방법들의 적합성과를 비교, 평가하였다. 헤르미트 다항식 계열의 Edgeworth 확장과 A-type Gram-Charlier, C-type Gram-Charlier 방법, NIG 분포를 이용하는 방법, 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 고려되었다. 모의실험에서는 순수 점프 레비 확률과정 가운데 옵션가격이 닫힌 해의 형태로 존재하는 Variance gamma 과정을 가정하여 자료를 생성하였다. 모의실험과 실제 자료분석의 결과, 분포함수를 먼저 근사하여 가격을 계산하는 것보다 근사적 가격식을 유도하여 직접 가격을 근사하는 방법들의 성능이 좀 더 좋았으며, 그 가운데 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 상대적으로 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Exponential L$\acute{e}$evy models have become popular in modeling price processes recently in mathematical finance. Although it is a relatively simple extension of the geometric Brownian motion, it makes the market incomplete so that the option price is not uniquely determined. As a trial to find an appropriate price for an option, we suppose a situation where a hedger wants to initially invest as little as possible, but wants to have the expected squared loss at the end not exceeding a certain constant. For this, we assume that the underlying price process follows a variance-gamma model and it converges to a geometric Brownian motion as its quadratic variation converges to a constant. In the limit, we use the mean-variance approach to find the asymptotic minimum investment with the expected squared loss bounded. Some numerical results are also provided.

본 논문에서는 옵션의 가격을 결정하기 위해 사용될 수 있는 몇 가지 근사적인 방법들을 수치적으로 비교하였다. 헤르미트 다항식 계열의 Edgeworth 확장과 A-type Gram-Charlier 방법, C-type Gram-Charlier 방법, normal inverse gaussian (NIG) 분포를 이용하는 방법, 그리고 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 그것이다. 이 방법들을 위험중립 확률측도 하에서 수익률의 분포함수를 근사하여 옵션가격을 계산하는 방식과 옵션의 근사가격식을 먼저 구하고 모수를 추정하여 가격을 계산하는 두 가지 방식을 사용하여 비교하였다. 모의실험에서는 확률변동성 모형에서 많이 사용되는 Heston 모형과 레비확률과정에서 좋은 적합도를 보이는 NIG 모형을 이용하여 자료를 생성하였고, 실제 자료로는 KOSPI200 콜옵션을 이용하였다. 모의실험과 실제 자료분석의 결과, 근사적 가격식을 먼저 구하는 방식이 좀 더 우수한 성능을 보였고 그 가운데 A-type Gram-Charlier와 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 좋은 성능을 보였으며, 분포함수를 추정하여 옵션가격을 계산하는 경우 NIG분포를 이용하는 것이 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 보였다.

In this study, we deal with American lookback option prices on dividend-paying assets under a stochastic volatility (SV) model. By using the asymptotic analysis introduced by Fouque et al. [17] and the Laplace-Carson transform (LCT), we derive the explicit formula for the option prices and the free boundary values with a finite expiration whose volatility is driven by a fast mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In addition, we examine the numerical implications of the SV on the American lookback option with respect to the model parameters and verify that the obtained explicit analytical option price has been obtained accurately and efficiently in comparison with the price obtained from the Monte-Carlo simulation.

This article deals with the pricing of Asian options under a constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model as well as a stochastic elasticity of variance (SEV) model. The CEV and SEV models are underlying asset price models proposed to overcome shortcomings of the constant volatility model. In particular, the SEV model is attractive because it can characterize the feature of volatility in risky situation such as the global financial crisis both quantitatively and qualitatively. We use an asymptotic expansion method to approximate the no-arbitrage price of an arithmetic average Asian option under both CEV and SEV models. Subsequently, the zero and non-zero constant leverage effects as well as stochastic leverage effects are compared with each other. Lastly, we investigate the SEV correction effects to the CEV model for the price of Asian options.
