This paper presents a new approximation formula for pricing swaptions and caps/floors under the LIBOR market model of interest rates (LMM) with the local and affine-type stochastic volatility. In particular, two approximation methods are applied in pricing, one of which is so called...

This paper studies impacts of imperfect collateralization on derivatives values. Firstly, we present a general framework for the analysis in a multi-dimensional diffusion setting, and then calclate pre-default values of forwards and options for the numerical experiments. In particular, we...

This paper develops a new approximation formula for pricing basket options in a local-stochastic volatility model with jumps. In particular, the model admits local volatility functions and jump components in not only the underlying asset price processes, but also the volatility processes. To the...

This paper proposes a new three-factor model with stochastic mean reversions for commodity prices and derives the closed-form solution for the term structure of futures prices. It also examines the relation of our model with Schwartz(1997) type models that explicitly include interest rates and...

This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula and the duality formula in Malliavin calculus are effectively applied in pricing barrier options with...

This paper proposes a new approximation method of pricing barrier and average options under stochastic volatility environment by applying an asymptotic expansion approach. In particular, a high-order expansion scheme for general multi-dimensional diffusion processes is effectively applied....

This paper proposes a new three-factor model with stochastic mean reversions for commodity prices and derives the closed-form solution for the term structure of futures prices. Moreover, it confirms that the prices of crude oil and copper futures prices estimated by our model replicate the...

This paper proposes a new approximation formula for pricing average options on commodities under a stochastic volatility environment. In particular, it derives an option pricing formula under Heston and an extended λ-SABR stochastic volatility models (which includes an extended SABR model as...

This paper derives an approximation formula for average options under two stochastic volatility models such as Heston and Lambda-SABR models by using an asymptotic expansion method. Moreover, numerical examples with various parameters some of which are obtained by calibration to WTI futures...
