  1. 6. Efficient Monte Carlo Simulation for Counterparty Credit Risk Modeling

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Sam Johansson; [2019]
    Keywords : CCR; OTC derivatives; European option; Bermudan option; CVA; jump-diffusion model; stochastic intensity model; Monte Carlo; variance reduction; importance sampling; least squares Monte Carlo; CCR; OTC-derivat; europeisk option; Bermuda-option; CVA; jump-diffusion-modell; stokastisk intensitetsmodell; Monte Carlo; variansreduktion; importance sampling; least squares Monte Carlo;

    Abstract : In this paper, Monte Carlo simulation for CCR (Counterparty Credit Risk) modeling is investigated. A jump-diffusion model, Bates' model, is used to describe the price process of an asset, and the counterparty default probability is described by a stochastic intensity model with constant intensity.

  3. 7. To what degree is the VIX benchmark computed by CBOE representative of its definition?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Patrik Liedbeck; Wilhlem Ålander; [2018]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The purpose of this paper is through an empirical approach understand the dynamics of VIX and investigate to what degree the benchmark computed by CBOE is representative of its definition. The method implemented is of a design where one constructs a hypothetical world in which synthetic options data are produced by the Bates-Heston model. READ MORE

  4. 8. Contingent Convertible Bonds. A Market-Conform Equity Derivative Model

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Giulia Cesaroni; [2017-07-25]
    Keywords : Contingent Convertible Bonds; CoCos; TIER 2; Additional TIER 1; Equity Derivative Model; Bates Model; Stochastic Volatility; Implied Volatility; Jump Diffusion Process; Monte Carlo Simulation; Quadratic Exponential Scheme;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the pricing of the Contingent Convertible Bonds (CoCos), using the Equity Derivative approach and the Bates model to simulate the stock price with Monte Carlo algorithm. The CoCo bonds are hybrid financial instruments with loss-absorbency features, characterized by a conversion into equity or a write-down of the face value, when a specified trigger event happens, which is usually related to an accounting indicator of the bank.

  5. 9. Model risk quantification in option pricing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Michael Montag; Fredrik Persson; [2015]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates a methodology for quantification of model risk in option pricing. A set of different pricing models is specified and each model is assigned a probability weight based on the Akaike Information Criteria. It is then possible to obtain a price distribution of an exotic derivative from these probability weights. READ MORE

  6. 10. Valuation of spread options using the fast Fourier transform under stochastic volatility and jump diffusion models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Max Andersson; [2015]
    Keywords : Fast Fourier transform; Spread options; Derivatives pricing; Stochastic volatility; Jump diffusion; Business and Economics; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Spread options have become very popular in basically every sector of the financial markets, although the pricing of these derivatives still remains a challenge. In this thesis we examine the pricing of spread options using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). READ MORE
