Pricing VIX Derivatives With Free Stochastic Volatility Model
In this paper, we relax the power parameter of instantaneous variance and develop a new stochastic volatility plus jumps model that generalize the Heston model and 3/2 model as special cases. This model has two distinctive features. First, we do not restrict the new parameter, letting the data speak as to its direction. The Generalized Methods of Moments suggests that the newly added parameter is to create varying volatility fluctuation in different period discovered in financial market. Moreover, upward and downward jumps are separately modeled to accommodate the market data. Our model is novel and highly tractable, which means that the quasi-closed-form solutions for future and option prices can be effectively derived. We have employed data on VIX future and corresponding option contracts to test this model to evaluate its ability of performing pricing and capturing features of the implied volatility. To sum up, the free stochastic volatility model with asymmetric jumps is able to adequately capture implied volatility dynamics and thus it can be seen as a superior model relative to the fixed volatility model in pricing VIX derivatives.

Pricing Interest Rate Derivatives under Volatility Uncertainty
In this paper, we study the pricing of contracts in fixed income markets under volatility uncertainty in the sense of Knightian uncertainty or model uncertainty. The starting point is an arbitrage-free bond market under …
Approximate Pricing of Derivatives Under Fractional Stochastic Volatility Model
We investigate the problem of pricing derivatives under a fractional stochastic volatility model. We obtain an approximate expression of the derivative price where the stochastic volatility can be composed of determinist…
Pricing Path-Dependent Derivatives under Multiscale Stochastic Volatility Models: a Malliavin Representation
In this paper we derive a efficient Monte Carlo approximation for the price of path-dependent derivatives under the multiscale stochastic volatility models of Fouque \textit{et al}. Using the formulation of this pricing …
FormOption Pricing Under a Discrete-Time Markov Switching Stochastic Volatility with Co-Jump Model
We consider option pricing using a discrete-time Markov switching stochastic volatility with co-jump model, which can model volatility clustering and varying mean-reversion speeds of volatility. For pricing European opti…
ClusteringPricing 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…
