Paper proposes a closed-form formula for geometric Istanbul call options.
Study uses synthetic data to estimate credit risk for underbanked consumers in Istanbul.
Order book dynamics play an important role in both execution time and price formation of orders in an exchange market. In this study, we aim to model the limit order arrival rates in the vicinity of the best bid and the best ask price levels. We use limit order book data for Garanti Bank, which is one of the most trade…
Study geometric step options with jumps, deriving pricing equations and characterizations.
New method forecasts stock option prices accurately.
Analytical pricing formulas and Greeks are obtained for European and American basket put options using Mellin transforms. We assume assets are driven by geometric Brownian motion which exhibit correlation and pay a continuous dividend rate. A novel approach to numerical Mellin inversion is achieved via the fast Fourier…
GMMNs model cross-sectional dependence for better option pricing and simulation.
Weighted Monte Carlo prices exotic options calibrating the probabilities of previously generated paths by a regular Monte Carlo to fit a set of option premiums. When only vanilla call and put options and forward prices are considered, the Martingale condition might not be preserved. This paper shows that this is indeed…
In this paper we show how to relate European call and put options on multiple assets to certain convex bodies called lift zonoids. Based on this, geometric properties can be translated into economic statements and vice versa. For instance, the European call-put parity corresponds to the central symmetry property, while…
We characterize the price of an Asian option, a financial contract, as a fixed-point of a non-linear operator. In recent years, there has been interest in incorporating changes of regime into the parameters describing the evolution of the underlying asset price, namely the interest rate and the volatility, to model sud…
An original method, assuming potential and kinetic energy for prices and conservation of their sum is developed for forecasting exchanges. Connections with power law are shown. Semiempirical applications on S&P500, DJIA, and NASDAQ predict a coming recession in them. An emerging market, Istanbul Stock Exchange index IS…
This study compares MC and QMC methods for derivative pricing, showing QMC's superior convergence rates.
Researchers develop a generalised geometric Brownian motion for better asset pricing.
The paper prices long-term options with a reflecting barrier model.
The distribution of a time integral of geometric Brownian motion is not well understood. To price an Asian option and to obtain measures of its dependence on the parameters of time, strike price, and underlying market price, it is essential to have the distribution of time integral of geometric Brownian motion and it i…
A new perspective on Call option pricing reveals identical prices for certain options.
The aim of this paper is to evaluate geometric Asian option by a mixed fractional subdiffusive Black-Scholes model. We derive a pricing formula for geometric Asian option when the underlying stock follows a time changed mixed fractional Brownian motion. We then apply the results to price Asian power options on the stoc…
MNN improves American call option pricing accuracy.
In this paper the Buchen's pricing formulae of (higher order) asset and bond binary options are incorporated into the pricing formula of power binary options and a pricing formula of "the normal distribution standard options" with the maturity payoff related to a power function and the density function of normal distri…
The paper derives formulas for pricing geometric Asian options in the Volterra-Heston model.
A homogeneously saturated equation for the time development of the price of a financial asset is presented and investigated for the pricing of European call options using noise that is distributed as a Student's t-distribution. In the limit that the saturation parameter of the equation equals zero, the standard model o…
There exist several methods how more general options can be priced with call prices. In this article, we extend these results to cover a wider class of options and market models. In particular, we introduce a new pricing formula which can be used to price more general options if prices for call options and digital opti…
This paper is devoted to the application of an -minimisation technique to construct an arbitrage-free call-option surface. We propose a nononparametric approach to obtaining model-free call option surfaces that are perfectly consistent with market quotes and free of static arbitrage. The approach is inspired from…
In this paper we investigate a nonlinear generalization of the Black-Scholes equation for pricing American style call options in which the volatility term may depend on the underlying asset price and the Gamma of the option. We propose a numerical method for pricing American style call options by means of transformatio…
This paper examines the valuation of a generalized American-style option known as a Game-style call option in an infinite time horizon setting. The specifications of this contract allow the writer to terminate the call option at any point in time for a fixed penalty amount paid directly to the holder. Valuation of a pe…
A statistical decision problem is hidden in the core of option pricing. A simple form for the price C of a European call option is obtained via the minimum Bayes risk, R_B, of a 2-parameter estimation problem, thus justifying calling C Bayes (B-)price. The result provides new insight in option pricing, among others obt…
A unified analytical pricing framework with involvement of the shot noise random process has been introduced and elaborated. Two exactly solvable new models have been developed. The first model has been designed to value options. It is assumed that asset price stochastic dynamics follows a Geometric Shot Noise motion. …
An analytic method for pricing American call options is provided; followed by an empirical method for pricing Asian call options. The methodology is the pricing theory presented in "A Modern Theory of Random Variation", by Patrick Muldowney, 2012.
Mitigates DeFi liquidations with reversible call options.
Approximates call option prices for Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard model.
The study examines how including additional call option prices affects model-independent price bounds for exotic derivatives.
Enhancing the Black-Scholes model with Lévy processes and Malliavin calculus
In this work, we expand the idea of Samuelson[3] and Shepp[2,5,6] for stock optimization using the Bachelier model [4] as our models for the stock price at the money (X[stock price]= K[strike price]) for the American call and put options [1]. At the money (X= K) for American options, the expected payoff of both the cal…
Quantum algorithm for pricing European call options.
The discrete sum of geometric Brownian motions plays an important role in modeling stochastic annuities in insurance. It also plays a pivotal role in the pricing of Asian options in mathematical finance. In this paper, we study the probability distributions of the infinite sum of geometric Brownian motions, the sum of …
Alternative closed-form formula for spread call option prices under log-normal models.
In this paper, we investigate the generalization of the Call-Put duality equality obtained in [1] for perpetual American options when the Call-Put payoff is replaced by . It turns out that the duality still holds under monotonicity and concavity assumptions on . The specific analytical form of the …
We consider a portfolio with call option and the corresponding underlying asset under the standard assumption that stock-market price represents a random variable with lognormal distribution. Minimizing the variance (hedging risk) of the portfolio on the date of maturity of the call option we find a fraction of the ass…
Pricing of European basket call option with n-assets and a bond is discussed in this paper, where all prices of n-assets and the bond are driven by Exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The close-form of European basket option pricing formula is derived. Utilizing with 1-order differential approximate numerical sol…
In this paper, we are concerned with the valuation of Guaranteed Annuity Options (GAOs) under the most generalised modelling framework where both interest and mortality rates are stochastic and correlated. Pricing these type of options in the correlated environment is a challenging task and no closed form solution exis…
The paper solves classical problems in option pricing.
In this article, we consider the small-time asymptotics of options on a \emph{Leveraged Exchange-Traded Fund} (LETF) when the underlying Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) exhibits both local volatility and jumps of either finite or infinite activity. Our main results are closed-form expressions for the leading order terms of …

New FX option interpolations impact implied volatilities.
We examine the small expiry behaviour of European call options in stock price models of exponential Lévy type. In most cases of interest, we are able to identify the exact small expiry asymptotics. In "complete generality" we are able to show that the time value of the call option has O(τ) decay as τ(time to expiry) go…
