In this paper, we propose a general framework for the valuation of options in stochas-tic local volatility (SLV) models with a general correlation structure, which includes the Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho (SABR) model and the quadratic SLV model as special cases. Standard stochastic volatility...

In this paper, we propose a general approximation framework for the valuation of (path-dependent) options under time-changed Markov processes. The underlying background process is assumed to be a general Markov process, and we consider the case when the stochastic time change is constructed from...

In this paper, we develop a novel and efficient transform-based method to price equity-linked annuities (ELAs), including equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) and cliquet-style payoff structures popular in the insurance market under a general class of stochastic volatility models with jumps. We...

After the recent financial crisis, the market for volatility derivatives has expanded rapidly to meet the demand from investors, risk managers and speculators seeking diversification of the volatility risk. In this paper, we develop a novel and efficient transform-based method to price swaps and...

We propose a novel Monte Carlo simulation method for two-dimensional stochastic differential equation (SDE) systems based on approximation through continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs). Specifically, we propose an efficient simulation framework for asset prices under general stochastic local...

Continuous time Markov Chain (CTMC) approximation techniques have received increasing attention in the option pricing literature, due to their ability to solve complex pricing problems, although existing approaches are mostly limited to one or two dimensions. This paper develops a general...

Utilizing frame duality and a FFT-based implementation of density projection we develop a novel and efficient transform method to price Asian options for very general asset dynamics, including regime switching Levy processes and other jump diffusions as well as stochastic volatility models with...

Many financial assets, such as currencies, commodities, and equity stocks, exhibit both jumps and stochastic volatility, which are especially prominent in the market after the financial crisis. Some strategic decision making problems also involve American-style options. In this paper, we develop...
