[Stochastic volatility model: Notation] Suppose that

S t: an asset price, Zt = log(S t): log price, r: risk free rate, W, W′: Brownian motions, W, W′t = ρt, dZt = (r − ϕ(Xt)2/2)dt + ϕ(Xt)dWt, dXt = b(Xt)dt + c(Xt)dW′

t

under risk neutral probability P. The option price for payoff h is given as

P(t, z, x) = E[e−r(T−t)h(S T)|Zt = z, Xt = x].

In a stochastic volatility model, stylized facts such as

  • the (Black-Scholes) implied volatility skew/smile,
  • time varying volatility,
  • leverage effect,
  • mean-reverting volatility

are explained. It is a natural extension of the Black-Scholes model, including the Heston model, SABR model. Unfortunately, no simple analytic formula for the option prices is available in general.

[Singular perturbation expansion] Fouque, Papanicolaou and Sircar (2000): consider

dZt = (r − ϕ(Xt)2/2) + ϕ(Xt)dWt, dXt = −aXt − b ǫ dt + Λ(Xt) √ǫ dt + c √ǫdW′

t

where ǫ is small. They obtained, by a formal calculation, that

P(t, z, x) = P0(t, z) + √ǫP1(t, z) + O(ǫ),

where P0 is the Black-Scholes price.

The validity of the singular perturbation expansion is proved by

  • Fouque, Papanicolaou, Sircar and Solna (2003)
  • Conlon and Sullivan (2005)
  • higher order expansion for call option
  • Khasminskii and Yin (2005)
  • ergodic diffusion on compact set and smooth payoff
  • Fukasawa (2008)
  • general ergodic diffusion and payoff
  • Edgeworth expansion for ergodic diffusions

[Extended fast mean-reverting model] More generally, consider

dZt = (r − ϕ(Xt)2/2)dt + ϕ(Xt)dWt, dXt = b(Xt) + Λǫ(Xt) ǫ dt + c(Xt) √ǫ dW′

t ,

where Λǫ → 0 (in a weak sense) as ǫ → 0. Intuition: put ˆ

Xt = Xǫt and ˆ W′ = ǫ−1/2W′

ǫt. Let Λǫ = 0 for brevity. Then

dZt = (r − ϕ( ˆ Xt/ǫ)2/2)dt + ϕ( ˆ Xt/ǫ)dWt, d ˆ Xt = b( ˆ Xt)dt + c( ˆ Xt)d ˆ W′

t .

Notice that the law of ˆ

X does not depend on ǫ.

SLIDE 7

Intuition (continued): putting

ˆ Xt = Xǫt, ˆ W′ = ǫ−1/2W′

ǫt,

ˆ W = ǫ−1/2Wǫt,

we have

Zt = Z0 + ǫ ∫ t/ǫ (r − ϕ( ˆ Xs)2/2)ds + √ǫ ∫ t/ǫ ϕ( ˆ Xs)d ˆ Ws,

where

d ˆ Xt = b( ˆ Xt)dt + c( ˆ Xt)d ˆ W′

t .

Note that the law of ( ˆ

X, ˆ W, ˆ W′) does not depend on ǫ, so that Zt = ǫ ∫ t/ǫ ϕ( ˆ Xs)2ds → tπ[ϕ2] as ǫ → 0

for the ergodic distribution π of ˆ

  • X. Consequently, by the martingale CLT,

Zt ⇒ Z0 + (r − π[ϕ2]/2)t + √ π[ϕ2]Wt.

[Edgeworth expansion for ergodic diffusions: Fukasawa(2008, PTRF)] For a diffusion X with scale function S :

S ′(x) = s(x), s(x) = exp { −2 ∫ x

x0

b(y) c(y)2dy } , M = ∫ dx c(x)2s(x) < ∞

we have

IT[ϕ] = 1 T ∫ T ϕ(Xt)dt → π[ϕ], √ T(IT[ϕ] − π[ϕ]) ⇒ N(0, σ2),

where π(dx)/dx = 1/Mc(x)2s(x). As a refinement of this CLT, we can show

E[H( √ T(A(IT[ϕ]) − A(π[ϕ])))] = ∫ H(w)N(dw) + T−1/2 ∫ H(w)p(w)N(dw) + O(T−1)

under a moment condition and a smoothness condition.

[First result: Edgeworth approach] Recall that

dZt = (r − ϕ(Xt)2/2)dt + ϕ(Xt)dWt, dXt = ǫ−1bǫ(Xt)dt + ǫ−1/2c(Xt)dW′

t ,

where bǫ = b + Λǫ.

  • the state space of X is supposed to be R.
  • assume that supǫ≥0 |bǫ|, c, 1/c, ϕ are locally bounded.
  • the option price for payoff h is given as

P(t, z, x) = E[e−r(T−t)h(S T)|Zt = z, Xt = x].

[Assumptions] Lǫ; the generator of ˆ

X, ˆ Xt = Xǫt ψ(x) = ∫ x dyϕ(y)/c(y),

  • Lǫψ → L0ψ on an interval I and L0ψ is continuous on I,
  • L0ψ is not constant on I,
  • there exist κ± > 0 such that

γ± > 2κ±, sup

x≥0

1 + ϕ(x)2 eκ+xc(x)2 < ∞, sup

[Theorem] If h is bounded, then for every (t, z, x),

P(t, z, x) = P0(t, z) + √ǫP1(t, z) + O(ǫ),

where P0 is the Black-Scholes price with volatility σ =

√ πǫ[ϕ2]; P0(t, z) = e−rτ ∫ h(exp(z + (r − σ2/2)τ + σ √τw))N(dw), τ = T − t, and P1(t, z) = e−rτ ∫ h(exp(z + (r − σ2/2)τ + σ √τw)) × δ σ2     1 − w2 + w3 − 3w σ √τ      N(dw), δ = −ρ ∫ ∞

[Corollary] The put option price admits

P(t, z, x) = P0(t, z) − δ √ǫ σ2 ezφ(d1)d2 + O(ǫ),

where P0 is the Black-Scholes put price, and (d1, d2) is the usual one with σ. The Black-Scholes implied volatility IV admits IV = σ −

δ √ǫd2 σ2 √ T − t + O(ǫ).

Note that IV = c1

log(K/S t) T − t + c2 + O(ǫ)

for strike K, where c1 and c2 are constants of O( √ǫ) and O(1) respectively.

[Example: the Heston model]

dZt = (r − Vt/2)dt + √ VtdWt, dVt = −aVt − b ǫ dt + c √Vt √ǫ dW′

t

with W, W′t = ρt. We have σ2 = b/a and δ = ρbc/2a2, so that IV =

√ b a − ρc √ǫd2 2a √ T − t + O(ǫ).

[Alternative conditions for a diffusion being not exponentially mixing]

  • Lǫψ → L0ψ on an interval I and L0ψ is continuous on I,
  • L0ψ is not constant on I,
  • there exist p ≥ 0 such that

2γ + 1 > 4p, lim sup

|x|→∞

1 + ϕ(x)2 |x|p−2c(x)2 < ∞,

where

γ = − lim sup

x→∞,ǫ→0

xbǫ(x) c(x)2 .

The same conclusion as before is obtained under these conditions.

[What is new?]

  • a probabilistic approach.
  • the Heston model (or, a model with irregular coefficients) is incorporated.
  • digital options (or, irregular payoff functions) are incorporated.
  • volatility process X with slow decay of the autocorrelation function is in-
  • corporated. For example,

dXt = −α Xt 1 + X2

+ βdWt.

[Second result: martingale approach] Let us consider a more general model for Z = log(S ),

Z = Z0 + A + M + g · W + h · C,

where M is a local martingale, g and h are adapted cag processes, C is a time-changed compound Poisson process with intensity Λ, W is a std BM in- dependent (M, g, h, Λ),

At = rt − 1 2Mt − 1 2 ∫ t |gs|2ds − ∫ t ∫

R

(ehsz − 1)ν(dz)Λ(ds).

We consider the following perturbation:

M = Mn, g = gn, h = hn, Λ = Λn, ν = νn

with ZT/Σn → T for a sequence Σn as n → ∞ so that the martingale CLT is

  • applied. Hence, the Black-Scholes model is recovered as n → ∞.

In this framework, putting rn = ǫ2

n → 0,

  • slowly varying volatility: (Sircar, Lee, ...)

dXn

t = (rnb1(Xn t ) + r2 nb2(Xn t ))dt + rnc(Xn t )dWt,

  • small volatility of volatility: (Hull and White, Lewis, Sørensen et.al., ..)

dXn

t = b(Xn t )dt + rnc(Xn t )dWt,

  • fast mean-reverting: (Fouque et.al., Khasminskii et.al., Fukasawa )

dXn

t = r−2 n b(Xn t )dt + r−1 n λ(Xn t )dt + r−1 n c(Xn t )dWt,

are included.

[Theorem] Under several conditions, we have for any bounded function H,

E[H(ZT)] = ∫

R

H(rT − Σn/2 + √ Σnz)φn(z)dz + o(rn)

with a sequence rn → 0 as n → ∞,

φn(z) = φ(z) { 1 + rn 2 { β(z2 − 1) + ( γ + 1 3α ) (z3 − 3z) − √ Σn {( β + √Σn 3 α ) z + γ(z2 − 1) }}} .

Here α, β, γ are functions of T. [Proof] Apply Yoshida’s formula for martingale expansion.

[Corollary] The put option price e−rTE[(K − S T)+|S 0 = S ] is expanded as

P0(σn) + 1 2rnσn √ TS φ(d1) { β − γd2 − 1 3α(d2 − σn √ T) } + o(rn),

where P0(σn) is the Black-Scholes put price with volatility σn and σ2

nT = Σn

The Black-Scholes implied volatility IV is expanded as

σn { 1 + rn 2 { β − γd2 − 1 3α(d2 − σn √ T) }} + o(rn).

Note that IV = c1 log(K/S 0) + c2 + o(rn) for strike K, where c1 and c2 are functions of T, of O(rn) and O(1) respectively.

[What is new?]

  • a probabilistic approach.
  • various perturbations are treated in a unified way.
  • non-Markovian model is incorporated.
  • jump is also incorporated.
  • multi-dimensional volatility process is incorporated.

Remark: the Edgeworth approach is more useful as far as considering fast mean reverting volatility with one-dimensional diffusion.
