Abstract
We present a new efficient and robust framework for European option pricing under continuous time asset models from the family of exponential semimartingale processes. We introduce B-spline interpolation theory to derivative pricing to provide an accurate closed-form representation of the option price under an inverse Fourier transform.We compare our method with some state-of-the-art option pricing methods, and demonstrate that it is extremely fast and accurate. This suggests a wide range of applications, including the use of more realistic asset models in high frequency trading. Examples considered in the paper include option pricing under asset models, including stochastic volatility and jumps, computation of the Greeks, and the inverse problem of cross-sectional calibration.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational Finance is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the area of financial mathematics. The journal is focused on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk, and provides detailed insight into numerical and computational techniques in the pricing, hedging and risk management of financial instruments. The journal welcomes papers dealing with innovative computational techniques in the following areas: Numerical solutions of pricing equations: finite differences, finite elements, and spectral techniques in one and multiple dimensions. Simulation approaches in pricing and risk management: advances in Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methodologies; new strategies for market factors simulation. Optimization techniques in hedging and risk management. Fundamental numerical analysis relevant to finance: effect of boundary treatments on accuracy; new discretization of time-series analysis. Developments in free-boundary problems in finance: alternative ways and numerical implications in American option pricing.
