We present an embarrassingly simple method for supervised learning of SABR model's European option price function based on lookup table or rote machine learning. Performance in time domain is comparable to generally used analytic approximations utilized in financial industry. However, unlike the...

We propose a hybrid scheme for the simulation of stochastic Volterra equations. The scheme is a mix of the hybrid scheme for Brownian semistationary processes of Bennedsen et al. [Financ. Stoch., 21(4), 931-965, 2017] and then the multifactor approximations of Abi Jaber et al. [SIAM J. Finan....

We examine asset prices in a representative-agent model of general equilibrium. Assuming only that individuals are risk averse, we determine conditions on the changes in asset risk that are both necessary and sufficient for the asset price to fall. We show that these conditions neither imply,...

We revisit well-known stochastic volatility models with constant coefficients for single asset driven by one factor stochastic volatility as homogeneous diffusion and demonstrate an alternative to the classifications provided in Albanese and Lawi, and Henry-Labord`ere, to deduce asset price...

We invert the Black-Scholes formula. We consider the cases low strike, large strike, short maturity and large maturity. We give explicitly the first 5 terms of the expansions. A method to compute all the terms by induction is also given. At the money, we have a closed form formula for implied...

We provide a simple and explicit construction of a family of stochastic exponentials with expectation k$/in$(0,1). Our family of stochastic exponentials can be constructed to be either strictly positive of merely non-negative

This paper discusses the relation between forward price models (FPM) and the so called implied volatility term structure (VTS). We start by considering the case of pure deterministic forward price volatilities and suppose both forward contracts and at-the-money (ATM) options, on a same...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the ability of the Dynamic Variance Gamma model, recently proposed by Bellini and Mercuri (2010), to evaluate option prices on the S&P500 index. We also provide a simple relation between the Dynamic Variance Gamma model and the Vix index. We use this...

Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous-time model. We use the stochastic maximum principle to analyze the model. This method uses forward/backward...
