Brexit Risk Implied by the SABR Martingale Defect in the EUR-GBP Smile
We construct a data-driven statistical indicator for quantifying the tail risk perceived by the EURGBP option market surrounding Brexit-related events. We show that under lognormal SABR dynamics this tail risk is closely related to the so-called martingale defect and provide a closed-form expression for this defect which can be computed by solving an inverse calibration problem. In order to cope with the the uncertainty which is inherent to this inverse problem, we adopt a Bayesian statistical parameter estimation perspective. We probe the resulting posterior densities with a combination of optimization and adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, thus providing a careful uncertainty estimation for all of the underlying parameters and the martingale defect indicator. Finally, to support the feasibility of the proposed method, we provide a Brexit "fever curve" for the year 2019.

Asset Price Bubbles: An Option-based Indicator
We construct a statistical indicator for the detection of short-term asset price bubbles based on the information content of bid and ask market quotes for plain vanilla put and call options. Our construction makes use of…
parameter estimationOn asymptotically arbitrage-free approximations of the implied volatility
Following-up Fukasawa and Gatheral (Frontiers of Mathematical Finance, 2022), we prove that the BBF formula, the SABR formula, and the rough SABR formula provide asymptotically arbitrage-free approximations of the implie…
A lower bound for the volatility swap in the lognormal SABR model
In the short time to maturity limit it is proved that for the conditionally lognormal SABR model the zero vanna implied volatility is a lower bound for the volatility swap strike. The result is valid for all values of th…
validAsymptotic Implied Volatility at the Second Order with Application to the SABR Model
We provide a general method to compute a Taylor expansion in time of implied volatility for stochastic volatility models, using a heat kernel expansion. Beyond the order 0 implied volatility which is already known, we co…
Mass at zero in the uncorrelated SABR model and implied volatility asymptotics
We study the mass at the origin in the uncorrelated SABR stochastic volatility model, and derive several tractable expressions, in particular when time becomes small or large. As an application--in fact the original moti…
