We apply a two-step strategy to forecast the dynamics of the volatility surface implicit in option prices to all American-style options written on the stocks that have entered the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index between 2004 and 2016. We explore whether the implied volatilities extracted...

Closed-form pricing formulae and option Greeks are obtained for European-type options using an orthogonal polynomial series -- complex Fourier series. We assume that risky assets are driven by exponential Lévy processes and stochastic volatility models. We provide a succinct error analysis to...

In this paper we solve the discrete time mean-variance hedging problem when asset returns follow a multivariate … daily returns. Secondly, we present out-of-sample hedging results on S&P 500 vanilla options as well as a trading strategy … based on theoretical prices, which we compare to simpler models including the classical Black-Scholes delta-hedging approach …

We consider the valuation and risk management of derivatives on defaultable assets such as bonds taking into account funding (FVA), cash collateral, underlying default, counterparty default (CVA) and default correlation using joint default poisson process. The framework can be considered as an...

We examine optimal quadratic hedging of barrier options in a discretely sampled exponential Lévy model that has been … realistically calibrated to reflect the leptokurtic nature of equity returns. Our main finding is that the impact of hedging errors …

In this paper we present a method for calculating the entire hedge surface of a derivative who’s future underlying asset has been simulated by a market simulator for example with the Monte Carlo method. Our method is built from work on penalized filtering techniques and is applied on a grid of...

We follow Mercurio's extension of the LIBOR market model with stochastic Basis spreads and model the joint evolution of forward rates belonging to the discount curve and corresponding spreads with FRA rates. We consider Heston stochastic-volatility dynamics and show how to calculate the swaption...
