This paper considers the evaluation of spread and basket options when the underlying asset prices are driven by Markov-modulated Levy processes with synchronous jumps. In particular, the asset prices may jump whenever there is a change of phase of the underlying Markov process. We further allow for dependence between the different price dynamics. In this general regime-switching framework, we provide lower and upper bounds to the exact option prices based upon ideas from the literature without regime switching. These bounds are obtained via univariate Fourier inversion under the assumption that the joint characteristic functions of the Markov-modulated Levy processes are known. We study these obtained spread and basket option price approximations in different regime-switching models. Several numerical experiments are included and these show that, especially, the lower bounds have a very high precision.

Option pricing in interest rate derivatives Küçüksaraç, Doruk; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020) The valuation of interest rate derivatives and embedded options in fixed-income securities is crucial for market practitioners. Although there have been many models to price interest rate derivatives, the inconsistency across the assumptions of the models creates difficulty in aggregating interest rate exposures. Besides, the models tend to be applicable to specific cases. In this regard, adaptation of a general methodology to price all interest rate derivatives without making additional assumptions has cri...
Pricing European and American options under Heston model using discontinuous Galerkin finite elements Kozpınar, Sinem; Karasözen, Bülent (2020-11-01) This paper deals with pricing of European and American options, when the underlying asset price follows Heston model, via the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (dGFEM). The advantages of dGFEM space discretization with Rannacher smoothing as time integrator with nonsmooth initial and boundary conditions are illustrated for European vanilla options, digital call and American put options. The convection dominated Heston model for vanishing volatility is efficiently solved utilizing...
Pricing spread and basket options under markov-modulated models Kozpınar, Sinem; Uğur, Ömür; Eksi Altay, Zehra; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) This thesis first aims to study the evaluation of spread and basket options under the classical Markov-modulated framework, for which a transition in the Markov process leads to a switch in the model parameters. In this regard, we provide approximations to the exact option prices based on ideas from the literature without regime switching. We start with pricing spread options when risky assets follow Markov-modulated geometric Brownian motions (MMGBMs). In this context, we focus on the regime-switching vers...
Application of stochastic volatility models with jumps to BIST options Rahiminejat, Monireh; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017) This thesis gives a derivation of call and put option pricing formulas under stochastic volatility models with jumps; the precise model is a combination of Merton and Heston models. The derivation is based on the computation of the characteristic function of the underlying process. We use the derived formulas to fit the model to options written on two stocks in the BIST30 index covering the first two months of 2017. The fit is done by minimizing a weighted $L_2$ distance between the observed prices and the ...
Analytical Pricing Formula Under Three-State Regime-Switching Model Tekin, Özge; Uğur, Ömür; Mamon, Rogemar; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-9-19) Economic and financial data display diverse behavior at different time intervals due to their dynamics and stochastic nature. To build explanatory models, different time periods with similar characteristics can be grouped together under a single regime. In this study, it is assumed that the states of the economy follow a homogeneous first-order continuous-time finite-state hidden Markov chain process. We consider the valuation of European options in a three-state Markov switching extension of the Black-Sch...
