1. 1. Time Dependencies Between Equity Options Implied Volatility Surfaces and Stock Loans, A Forecast Analysis with Recurrent Neural Networks and Multivariate Time Series

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Simon Wahlberg; [2022]
   Keywords : RNN; LSTM; GRU; vector autoregression; implied volatility surface; stock loan; equity options; multivariate time-series analysis; financial mathematics.; Rekursiva neurala nätverk; LSTM; GRU; VAR; implicerade volatilitetsytor; aktielån; aktieoptioner; multidimensionell tidsserieanalys; finansiell matematik.;

   Abstract : Synthetic short positions constructed by equity options and stock loan short sells are linked by arbitrage. This thesis analyses the link by considering the implied volatility surface (IVS) at 80%, 100%, and 120% moneyness, and stock loan variables such as benchmark rate (rt), utilization, short interest, and transaction trends to inspect time-dependent structures between the two assets.

3. 2. Pricing Complex derivatives under the Heston model

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Omar Naim; [2021]
   Keywords : Stochastic volatility Model; Heston Model; Calibration; Financial derivatives; Stokastisk volatilitetsmodell; Heston modell; kalibrering; finansiella derivat;

   Abstract : The calibration of model parameters is a crucial step in the process of valuation of complex derivatives. It consists of choosing the model parameters that correspond to the implied market data especially the call and put prices. READ MORE

4. 3. Implied volatility with HJM–type Stochastic Volatility model

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

   Author : Thi Diu Cap; [2021]
   Keywords : Implied volatility surface; stochastic volatility model; HJM framework;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we propose a new and simple approach of extending the single-factor Heston stochastic volatility model to a more flexible one in solving option pricing problems.  In this approach, the volatility process for the underlying asset dynamics depends on the time to maturity of the option.
