In this paper, we develop a new nonparametric approach for estimating the risk-neutral density of asset price and reformulate its estimation into a double-constrained optimization problem. We implement our approach in R and evaluate it using the S&P 500 market option prices from 1996 to 2015. A...

The result is that taking a position in a third moment swap … considerably improves the performance of the standard hedge of a variance swap based on a static position in the log-contract and a … dynamic trading strategy. The position in the third moment swap is taken by running a Monte Carlo simulation …

We introduce a stochastic volatility model with self-exciting jump intensity to capture the change in pricing dynamic triggered by big negative stock returns. The stochastic variance and jump intensity, and their risk premium are estimated jointly from daily stock returns and option data over...

Forwards, futures, and swaps are contractual agreements that establish transactions to be executed at a future date. Advantages of these contracts (derivatives) over owning the underlying asset include substantively lower transaction costs, and the possibility of circumventing trading...
