In this paper we present new pricing formulas for some single Barrier style contracts of European type when the underlying process is driven by an important class of Lévy processes, that includes CGMY model, Generalized Hyperbolic Model and Mexiner Model, when no symmetry properties are...

In this paper we present new pricing formulas for some Power style contracts of European type when the underlying process is driven by an important class of Lévy processes, which includes CGMY model, generalized hyperbolic Model and Meixner Model, when no symmetry properties are assumed,...

In this paper we find empirical evidence of a new smirk factor, obtained from the jump structure of the risk neutral distribution of the underlying Lévy process. As an application we show how to price a barrier style contract

We introduce skewed Lévy models, that have a symmetric jump measure multiplied by dumping exponential factor, in order to study the implied volatility smirk in Lévy markets. The dumping factor depends on a parameter beta, this results in a measure of the skewness of the model. We show that...
