This chapter deals with nonparametric estimation of the risk neutral density. We present three different approaches … conditional on the physical measure of the underlying asset. Via direct series type estimation of the pricing kernel we can derive …

We present two methods based on functional principal component analysis (FPCA) for the estimation of smooth derivatives …

This chapter deals with the estimation of risk neutral distributions for pricing index options resulting from the … hypothesis of the risk neutral valuation principle. After justifying this hypothesis, we shall focus on parametric estimation ….r.t. reviewed parametric statistical families used for direct estimation.
