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.

시간의 경과에 따라 관측된 시계열 자료를 통해 데이터 분석을 하고 적당한 모형을 생성함으로써 미래 시점을 예측하는 방법들은 그 동안 많은 방법들이 제시되었고 연구 되고 있다. 그 중 최근 들어 과거의 데이터를 바탕으로 관측된 각 시점에서의 분산을 서로 다른 분산(조건부 이분산성)을 따른다고 가정하고, 이를 분석하는 모형(ARCH, GARCH, Stochastic Volatility(SV))들이 옵션 가격분석이나 환율 변화 등 경제 시계열자료의 예측 모형을 위하여 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국의 KOSPI 데이터(1995년 1월 3일부터 2001년 12월 28일, 총 1906일)를 바탕으로 (조건부) 우도함수 모수 추정 방법을 이용한 GARCH(1,1) 모형과, MCMC 방법을 이용하여 모수를 추정한 SV 모형을 적용시켜 보고 각 모형들의 예측 정확도를 비교하여 보았다.

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.

The theory of stock option pricing has, recently, attracted attention of many researchers interested not only in finance but also in statistics and control theory. In this field, the problem of estimating stock return volatility is, above all, of great importance in calculating actual stock option value. In this paper, we assume that the stock market is represented by the stochastic volatility model which is the same as that of Hull and White. Then, we propose an approximation function of option value. It is a type of Black-Sholes option formula in which the first and the second order moments of logarithmic stock value are modified in a special form from the original model. Finally, an algorithm of estimating the parameters of the stochastic volatility model is given, and parameters are estimated by using Nikkei 225 index option data.

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.

주식은 그 자체로도 투자의 대상이며, 또한 옵션의 기초자산으로서 옵션의 가격을 평가하는 기본도구로 사용되고 있기에, 주식에 대한 정확한 예측값 도출은 매우 중요하다고 불 수 있다.주식의 가치평가를 위하여 기존 연구들은 대표적으로 GARCH 류의 모형과 SV(stochastic volatility, 확률변동성)류의 모형을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 SV 모형에 대해서 초점을 맞추어 KOSPI200 지수를 실증분석하였다. 특히 Durham (2008)의 방법론에 따라서 로그 SV 모델에 변동성지수(VKOSPI 지수)를 추가로 고려하여 모델의 정확도 향상을 기대하였다. VKOSPI 지수는 KOSPI200의 옵션으로부터 계산된 미래에 대한 기대 변동성으로, 주식과 옵션간의 유기적 관련성을 바탕으로 추정하기에 그 의미가 있다. 자료는 2003년 1월2일부터 2010년 9월 24일을 기간으로 사용하였다.

Approximating the implied volatilities and estimating the model parameters are important topics in quantitative finance. This study proposes an approximation formula for short-maturity near-the-money implied volatilities in stochastic volatility models. A general second-order nonlinear PDE for implied volatility is derived in terms of time-to-maturity and log-moneyness from the Feyman-Kac formula. Using regularity conditions and the Taylor expansion, an approximation formula for implied volatility is obtained for short-maturity nearthe-money call options in two stochastic volatility models: Heston model and SABR model. In addition, we proposed a novel numerical method to estimate model parameters. This method reduces the number of model parameters that should be estimated. Generating sample data on log-moneyness, time-to-maturity, and implied volatility, we estimate the model parameters fitting the sample data in the above two models. Our method provides parameter estimates that are close to true values.

두꺼운 꼬리 분포와 레버리지효과 등의 금융시계열의 전형적인 특징에도 불구하고 기존 빈도론적 접근법에서는 이를 명시적으로 포착하는 확률변동성모형이 제시된 바 없다. 본 연구는 빈도론적 접근법에서 수익률 금융시계열의 두꺼운 꼬리 분포와 레버리지효과를 명시적으로 포착할 수 있는 근사적인 확률변동성모형 설정을 제시하고 이에 대한 Langrock 등 (2012)의 HMM근사를 이용한 최우추정을 제안한다. 본 연구는 다양한 모의실험과 실증분석을 통해 본 연구에서 제안하는 근사모형이 두꺼운 꼬리 분포와 레버리지효과를 정밀하고 효과적으로 추정할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper considers the case of pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps under the class of equity-interest rate hybridization. Our modeling framework consists of the equity which follows the dynamics of the Heston stochastic volatility model, and the stochastic interest rate is driven by the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process with full correlation structure imposed among the state variables. This full correlation structure possesses the limitation to have fully analytical pricing formula for hybrid models of variance swaps, due to the non-affinity property embedded in the model itself. We address this issue by obtaining an efficient semi-closed form pricing formula of variance swaps for an approximation of the hybrid model via the derivation of characteristic functions. Subsequently, we implement numerical experiments to evaluate the accuracy of our pricing formula. Our findings confirm that the impact of the correlation between the underlying and the interest rate is significant for pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps.
