This paper proposes a novel approach for pricing discretely monitored multi-asset barrier options and computing joint survival probability in multivariate exponential Levy asset price models. We calculate the Fourier transform of appropriately dampened value functions recursively using...

We develop a data-driven approach for options market making. Using stock options data from CBOE, we find that both buy and sell orders exhibit strong self-excitation but insignificant cross-excitation. We show that a Hawkes process with a time-varying baseline intensity and the power law kernel...
