Pricing timer options and variance derivatives with closed-form partial transform under the 3/2 model
Most of the empirical studies on stochastic volatility dynamics favor the 3/2 specification over the square-root (CIR) process in the Heston model. In the context of option pricing, the 3/2 stochastic volatility model is reported to be able to capture the volatility skew evolution better than the Heston model. In this article, we make a thorough investigation on the analytic tractability of the 3/2 stochastic volatility model by proposing a closed-form formula for the partial transform of the triple joint transition density $(X,I,V)$ which stand for the log asset price, the quadratic variation (continuous realized variance) and the instantaneous variance, respectively. Two distinct formulations are provided for deriving the main result. The closed-form partial transform enables us to deduce a variety of marginal partial transforms and characteristic functions and plays a crucial role in pricing discretely sampled variance derivatives and exotic options that depend on both the asset price and quadratic variation. Various applications and numerical examples on pricing exotic derivatives with discrete monitoring feature are given to demonstrate the versatility of the partial transform under the 3/2 model.

Option Pricing for the Variance Gamma Model: A New Perspective
The variance gamma model is a widely popular model for option pricing in both academia and industry. In this paper, we provide a new perspective for pricing European style options for the variance gamma model by deriving…
Derivatives pricing using signature payoffs
We introduce signature payoffs, a family of path-dependent derivatives that are given in terms of the signature of the price path of the underlying asset. We show that these derivatives are dense in the space of continuo…
Power-type derivatives for rough volatility with jumps
In this paper we propose a novel pricing-hedging framework for volatility derivatives which simultaneously takes into account rough volatility and volatility jumps. Our model directly targets the instantaneous variance o…
Vocal Bursts Type PredictionA closed-form approximation for pricing geometric Istanbul options
The Istanbul options were first introduced by Michel Jacques in 1997. These derivatives are considered as an extension of the Asian options. In this paper, we propose an analytical approximation formula for a geometric I…
FormClosed-form approximations in derivatives pricing: The Kristensen-Mele approach
Kristensen and Mele (2011) developed a new approach to obtain closed-form approximations to continuous-time derivatives pricing models. The approach uses a power series expansion of the pricing bias between an intractabl…
