Published / Preprint: Option Pricing Accuracy for Estimated Heston Models. (arXiv:1404.4014v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 02:52 AM PDT

We consider assets for which price $X_t$ and squared volatility $Y_t$ are jointly driven by Heston joint stochastic differential equations (SDEs). When the parameters of these SDEs are estimated from $N$ sub-sampled data $(X_{nT}, Y_{nT})$, estimation errors do impact the classical option pricing PDEs. We estimate these option pricing errors by combining numerical evaluation of estimation errors...

Published / Preprint: Stochastic Spot/Volatility Correlation in Stochastic Volatility Models and Barrier Option Pricing. (arXiv:1404.4028v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 02:52 AM PDT

Most models for barrier pricing are designed to let a market maker tune the model-implied covariance between moves in the asset spot price and moves in the implied volatility skew. This is often implemented with a local volatility/stochastic volatility mixture model, where the mixture parameter tunes that covariance. This paper defines an alternate model where the spot/volatility correlation is a...

Published / Preprint: $L_p$ regularized portfolio optimization. (arXiv:1404.4040v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 02:52 AM PDT

Investors who optimize their portfolios under any of the coherent risk measures are naturally led to regularized portfolio optimization when they take into account the impact their trades make on the market. We show here that the impact function determines which regularizer is used. We also show that any regularizer based on the norm $L_p$ with $p>1$ makes the sensitivity of coherent risk...
