23 Accuracy of Approximation For European options with smooth payoffs h(x): P ε,δ = PBS + P 1 + Q 1 + O(ε + δ) For European calls or puts, h(x) continuous piecewise smooth: P ε,δ = PBS + P 1 + Q 1 + O(ε log ε + δ) For European digital option, h(x) = Q1 {x>k} discontinuous: P ε,δ = PBS + P 1 + Q 1 + O(ε 2 3 log ε + δ) 23
24 Exotic Derivatives (Binary, Barrier, Asian,...) Calibrate σ, V, V 1 and V 3 on the implied volatility surface Solve the corresponding problem with constant volatility σ = P = P BS (σ ) Use V, V 1 and V 3 to compute the source ( PBS 2 V σ + V 1x 2 PBS ) + V 3 x ( x 2 2 P ) BS x σ x x 2 Get the correction by solving the SAME PROBLEM with zero boundary conditions and the source. 24
25 American Options Calibrate σ, V, V 1 and V 3 on the implied volatility surface Solve the corresponding problem with constant volatility σ = P and the free boundary x (t) Use V, V 1 and V 3 to compute the source P 2 (V σ + V 1x 2 P ) + V 3 x (x 2 2 P ) x σ x x 2 Get the correction by solving the corresponding problem with fixed boundary x (t), zero boundary conditions and the source. 25
26 First Conclusions A short time-scale of order few days is present in volatility dynamics It cannot be ignored in option pricing and hedging It can be dealt with by using singular perturbation methods It is efficient as a parametrization tool for the term structure of implied volatilities when combined with a regular perturbation 26

Introduce the time-to-maturity τ = T t and seek a solution of the form: P(T τ, x; T) = A(τ)e B(τ)x by solving linear ODE s with A() = 1 and B() =. 29

32 Bond Options Prices Example: a Call Option with strike K and maturity T written on a zero-coupon bond with maturity T > T. The payoff h(λ(t, T)) = (Λ(T, T) K) + is a function of r T since Λ(T, T) = P(T, r T ; T) Call Option Price: { C(t, x; T, T ) = IE e T t } r s ds h (Λ(T, T)) r t = x solution of Vasicek PDE with terminal condition at t = T : C(T, x; T, T ) = ( P(T, x; T) K) + C(t, x; T, T ) = P(t, x; T)N(h 1 ) K P(t, x; T )N(h 2 ) 32
33 Stochastic Volatility Vasicek Models Under the physical measure: dr t = a(r r t )dt + f(y t )dw t where f is a positive function of a mean-reverting volatility driving process Y t. Example: Y t is an OU process: dy t = α(m Y t )dt + ν 2αdẐ t where Ẑt is a Brownian motion possibly correlated to the Brownian motion W t driving the short rate: Ẑ t = ρw t + 1 ρ 2 Z t (W t, Z t ) independent Brownian motions. 33
34 Stochastic Volatility Vasicek Pricing Models Under the risk-neutral pricing probability IP (λ,γ) : dr t = (a(r r t ) λ(y t )f(y t )) dt + f(y t )dwt ( dy t = α(m Y t ) ν 2α [ρλ(y t ) + γ(y t ) ]) 1 ρ 2 dt +ν ( 2α ρdwt + ) 1 ρ 2 dzt for bounded market prices of risk λ(y) and γ(y). Under fast mean-reversion: α is large 34

Expand : P ε = P + εp 1 + εp 2 + ε εp 3 + ε = 1/α 35
36 Leading Order Term P t σ2 x 2 2 P x 2 + a (r x) P x xp = Effective volatility σ 2 = f 2 and r = r λf /a The zero order term P (t, x) is the Vasicek bond price P (T τ, x; T) = P(T τ, x; T) = A(τ)e B(τ)x computed with the constant parameters (a, r, σ). 36
37 The Correction P 1 = εp 1 The correction P 1 solves the source problem: ( L V asicek (a, r, σ) P 1 = V 1 x + V 2 with the zero terminal condition P 1 (T, x) =. 2 x 2 + V 3 It involves the constant quantities, small of order 1/ α V 3 = ν 2α ρ fφ V 2 = ν (ρ λφ + ) 1 ρ 2 γφ 2α V 1 = ν 2 α ( ρ λψ + ) 1 ρ 2 γψ 3 ) P x 3 2 νρ α fψ 37
38 The Correction P 1 : explicit computation Using the variable τ = T t and the explicit form P = Ae Bx : P 1 τ = 1 2 σ2 2 P 1 x 2 + â(r x) P 1 x x P 1 +A(τ)e B(τ)x ( V 3 B(τ) 3 V 2 B(τ) 2 + V 1 B(τ) ) We seek a solution of the form P 1 (T τ, x; T) = D(τ)A(τ)e B(τ)x with the condition D() = so that P 1 (T, x; T) = We get: and D(τ) = V 3 â 3 V 2 â 2 D = V 3 B 3 V 2 B 2 + V 1 B (τ B(τ) 12âB(τ)2 13â2 B(τ) 3 ) (τ B(τ) 12âB(τ)2 ) + V 1 â (τ B(τ)) 38
39 Summary The corrected bond price is given by P(T τ, x, y; T) P (T τ, x; T) + P 1 (T τ, x; T) = A(τ) (1 + D(τ))e B(τ)x where D is a small factor of order 1/ α. The error P ε (t, x, y; T) ( P (t, x : T) + P ) 1 (t, x; T) is of order 1/α. Corrections for bond options prices are also obtained. 39

43 Credit Perturbations around Merton/Black-Cox (in the context of the structural approach for instance) to account for: Volatility Time Scales in Default Times Fit to Yield Spreads References: Stochastic Volatility Effects on Defaultable Bonds Submitted 24 Stochastic Volatility Effects on Default Correlations In Preparation 43
44 Defaultable Bonds In the first passage structural approach, the payoff of a defaultable zero-coupon bond written on a risky asset X is h(x) = 1 {inf s T X s >B}. By no-arbitrage, the value of the bond is P B (t, T) = IE { e r(t t) 1 {inf s T X s >B} F t } = 1 {inf s t X s >B}e r(t t) IE { 1 {inft s T X s >B} F t }, Using the predictable stopping time τ t = inf{s t, X s B}: IE { 1 {inft s T X s >B} F t } = IP {τ t > T F t }. This defaultable zero-coupon bond is in fact a binary down-an-out barrier option where the barrier level and the strike price coincide. 44
45 Constant Volatility: Merton s Approach dx t = rx t dt + σx t dwt ( X t = X exp (r 1 2 σ2 )t + σwt ). In the Merton s approach, default occurs if X T < B: Defaultable bond = European digital option u d (t, x) = IE { e rτ 1 {XT >B} X t = x } = e rτ IP {X T > B X t = x} = e rτ N(d 2 (τ)) with the usual notation τ = T t and the distance to default: log ( ) ) x B + (r σ2 2 τ d 2 (τ) = σ τ 45
46 Constant Volatility: Black-Cox Approach IE { } 1 {inft s T X s >B} F t { ) = IP inf ((r σ2 t s T 2 )(s t) + σ(w s Wt ) > log ( B x ) } X t = x computed using distribution of minimum, or using PDE s: IE { e r(t t) 1 {inft s T X s >B} F t } = u(t, X t ) where u(t, x) is the solution of the following problem which is to be solved for x > B. L BS (σ)u = on x > B, t < T u(t, B) = for any t T u(t, x) = 1 for x > B, 46
47 Constant Volatility: Barrier Options Using the European digital pricing function u d (t, x) L BS (σ)u d = on x >, t < T u d (T, x) = 1 for x > B, and otherwise By the method of images one has: u(t, x) = u d (t, x) where we denote ( x B ) 1 2r σ 2 u d ( t, B2 x = e r(t t) ( N(d + 2 (T t)) ( x B d ± 2 (τ) = ± log ( x B ) ) + (r σ2 2 σ τ ) 1 2r σ 2 N(d 2 (T t)) ) ) τ 47
48 Yield Spreads Curve The yield spread Y (, T) at time zero is defined by e Y (,T)T = P B (, T) P(, T), where P(, T) is the default free zero-coupon bond price given here, in the case of constant interest rate r, by P(, T) = e rt, and P B (, T) = u(, x), leading to the formula Y (, T) = 1 T log (N (d 2 (T)) ( x B ) 1 2r σ 2 N ( d 2 (T))) 48
49 Yield spread in basis points Time to maturity in years Figure 9: The figure shows the sensitivity of the yield spread curve to the volatility level. The ratio of the initial value to the default level x/b is set to 1.3, the interest rate r is 6% and the curves increase with the values of σ: 1%, 11%, 12% and 13% (time to maturity in unit of years, plotted on the log scale; the yield spread is quoted in basis points) 49
50 Yield spread in basis points Time to maturity in years Figure 1: This figure shows the sensitivity of the yield spread to the leverage level. The volatility level is set to 1%, the interest rate is 6%. The curves increases with the decreasing ratios x/b: (1.3, 1.275, 1.25, 1.225, 1.2). 5
51 Challenge: Yields at Short Maturities As stated by Eom et.al. (empirical analysis 21), the challenge for theoretical pricing models is to raise the average predicted spread relative to crude models such as the constant volatility model, without overstating the risks associated with volatility or leverage. Several approaches (within structural models) have been proposed that aims at the modeling in this regard. These include Introduction of jumps (Zhou,...) Stochastic interest rate (Longstaff-Schwartz,...) Imperfect information (on X t ) (Duffie-Lando,...) Imperfect information (on B) (Giesecke) 51
52 Stochastic Volatility Models where we assume that dx t = µx t dt + f(y t )X t dw () t dy t = α(m Y t )dt + ν 2α dw (1) t f non-decreasing, < c 1 f c 2 Invariant distribution of Y : N(m, ν 2 ) independent of α α > is the rate of mean reversion of Y The standard Brownian motions W () and W (1) are correlated d W (), W (1) = ρ 1 dt t 52
53 Stochastic Volatility Models under IP In order to price defaultable bonds under this model for the underlying we rewrite it under a risk neutral measure IP, chosen by the market through the market price of volatility risk Λ 1, as follows dx t = rx t dt + f(y t )X t dw () t, ( dy t = α(m Y t ) ν ) 2αΛ 1 (Y t ) dt + ν 2α dw (1) t. Here W () and W (1) are standard Brownian motions under IP correlated as W () and W (1). We assume that the market price of volatility risk Λ 1 is bounded and a function of y only. 53

62 Barrier Options under Stochastic Volatility u(t, x, y) = e r(t t) IE { h(x T )1 {inft s T X s >B} X t = x, Y t = y }, P B (t, T) = 1 {inf s t X s >B}u(t, X t, Y t ). The function u(t, x, y) satisfies for x B the problem ( t + L X,Y r ) u = on x > B, t < T u(t, B) = for any t T u(t, x) = h(x) for x > B where L X,Y is the infinitestimal generator of the process (X, Y ) under IP. 62
63 Leading Order Term under Stochastic Volatility In the regime α large, as in the European case, u(t, x, y) is approximated by u (t, x) which solves the constant volatility problem L BS (σ )u = u (t, B) = on x > B, t < T for any t T u (T, x) = h(x) for x > B where σ is the corrected effective volatility. 63
64 Stochastic Volatility Correction Define the correction u 1(t, x) by L BS (σ )u 1 = V 3 x x u 1(t, B) = ( ) x 2 2 u x 2 on x > B, t < T for any t T u 1(T, x) = for x > B. Remarkably, the small parameter V 3 is the same as in the European case (calibrated to implied volatilities). 64
65 Define Computation of the Correction v 1(t, x) = u 1(t, x) (T t)v 3 x x so that v 1(t, x) solves the simpler problem L BS (σ )v 1 = v 1(t, B) = g(t) ( x 2 2 u ), x 2 on x > B, t < T for any t T v1(t, x) = for x > B ( )) g(t) = V 3 (T t) lim x B (x x x 2 2 u x 2 To summarize we have u(t, x, y) u (t, x) + (T t)v 3 x x with explicit computation in the case h(x) = 1.
