In the context of arbitrage-free modelling of financial derivatives, we introduce a novel calibration technique for models in the affine-quadratic class for the purpose of over-the-counter option pricing and risk-management. In particular, we aim at calibrating a stochastic volatility jump diffusion model to the whole market implied volatility surface at any given time. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the moments of the underlying distribution and use this information to introduce and implement our calibration algorithm. We numerically show that the proposed approach is both statistically stable and accurate.

We derive an asymptotic expansion formula for option implied volatility under a two-factor jump-diffusion stochastic volatility model when time-to-maturity is small. We further propose a simple calibration procedure of an arbitrary parametric model to short-term near-the-money implied volatilities. An important advantage of our approximation is that it is free of the unobserved spot volatility. Therefore, the model can be calibrated on option data pooled across different calendar dates to extract information from the dynamics of the implied volatility smile. An example of calibration to a sample of Samp;P 500 option prices is provided. (JEL G12).

WINNER of a Riskbook.com Best of 2004 Book Award! During the last decade, financial models based on jump processes have acquired increasing popularity in risk management and option pricing. Much has been published on the subject, but the technical nature of most papers makes them difficult for nonspecialists to understand, and the mathematic

In the modern economic world, the options contracts are used because they allow to hedge against the vagaries and risks refers to fluctuations in the prices of the underlying assets. The determination of the price of these contracts is of great importance for investors.We are interested in problems of options pricing, actually the European and Quanto options on a financial asset. The price of that asset is modeled by a multi-dimentional jump diffusion with stochastic volatility. Otherwise, the first model considers the volatility as a continuous process and the second model considers it as a jump process. Finally in the 3rd model, the underlying asset is without jump and volatility follows a model CEV without jump. This model allow better to take into account some phenomena observed in the markets. We develop numerical methods that determine the values of prices for these options. We first write the model as an integro-differential stochastic equations system "EIDS," of which we study existence and unicity of solutions. Then we relate the resolution of PIDE to the computation of the option value.

This book is a snapshot of current research in multiscale modeling, computations and applications. It covers fundamental mathematical theory, numerical algorithms as well as practical computational advice for analysing single and multiphysics models containing a variety of scales in time and space. Complex fluids, porous media flow and oscillatory dynamical systems are treated in some extra depth, as well as tools like analytical and numerical homogenization, and fast multipole method.

In this paper we develop approximating formulas for European options prices based on short term asymptotics, i.e. when time-to-maturity tends to zero. The analysis is performed in a general setting where stochastic volatility and jumps drive the dynamics of stock returns. In a numerical study we show that the closed form approximation is accurate for a broad range of option parameters typically encountered in practice. An empirical application illustrates its use in calibrating observed smiles of Samp;P 500 index options, and in getting new insight into the dependence of the volatility of volatility and jump size distribution on the spot volatility. We test the consistency of the calibration by showing that the shape of the volatility of volatility inferred from option prices agrees with its estimate from the time series of spot volatilities inferred from the same observed option prices.

The Team at Wilmott is very proud to present this compilation of Wilmott magazine articles and presentations from our second year. We have selected some of the very best in cutting-edge research, and the most illuminating of our regular columns. The technical papers include state-of-the-art pricing tools and models. You'll notice there's a bias towards volatility modelling in the book. Of course, it's one of my favourite topics, but volatility is also the big unknown as far as pricing and hedging is concerned. We present research in this area from some of the best newcomers in this field. You'll see ideas that make a mockery of 'received wisdom,' ideas that are truly paradigm shattering - for we aren't content with a mere 'shift.' We know you'll enjoy it! The Best of Wilmott will return again next year...
