how our newly designed basket option pricing formula can be used to define implied Lévy correlation by matching model and … market prices for basket options. Our main finding is that the implied Lévy correlation smile is flatter than its Gaussian … counterpart. Furthermore, if (near) at-the-money option prices are used, the corresponding implied Gaussian correlation estimate …

Asset returns are modeled by bilateral gamma processes with zero covariations. Covariances are then observed to be consequences of randomness in variations. Support vector machine regressions on prices are employed to model the implied randomness. The contributions of support vector machine...

It is argued that the growth in the breadth of option strikes traded after the financial crisis of 2008 poses difficulties for the use of Fourier inversion methodologies in volatility surface calibration. Continuous time Markov chain approximations are proposed as an alternative. They are shown...
