3 Background Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Let S t denote stock price at time t. A European call option on this stock is a contract that gives its holder the right, but not the obligation to buy a unit of this stock at a certain price, called strike price, and at a given time called maturity time.
4 Background Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Let S t denote stock price at time t. A European call option on this stock is a contract that gives its holder the right, but not the obligation to buy a unit of this stock at a certain price, called strike price, and at a given time called maturity time. Let K = strike price, T = maturity time and suppose S 0 < K ( out-of-the- money).
5 Question Motivation - finance problem Stock price model What is the behavior of as time to maturity T 0? option price = E[e rt (S T K) + ]
6 Question Motivation - finance problem Stock price model What is the behavior of as time to maturity T 0? To estimate this quantity, we study option price = E[e rt (S T K) + ] P(S T > K) as T 0. This probability decays exponentially fast to 0. We get a large deviation estimate of the form lim T log P(S T > K) = I (K) T 0
7 Black-Scholes model Motivation - finance problem Stock price model A simple model for this stock price is the B-S model ds t = rs t dt + σs t dw t ; σ > 0 is called volatility. Under the B-S model, the price of a call option with strike price K and maturity time T is: is easy to calculate. option price = E[e rt (S T K) + ] However the assumption of constant volatility is unrealistic and we instead work with a more sophisticated model.
8 Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Stochastic volatility model for stock price Let S t denote stock price. ds t = rs t dt + S t σ(y t )dw (1) t, (1a) dy t = 1 δ (m Y t)dt + ν δ Y β t dw (2) t. (1b) where m R, r, ν > 0, W (1) and W (2) are standard Brownian motions with W (1), W (2) t = ρt, with ρ < 1 constant. -The process (Y t ) is a fast mean-reverting process with rate of mean reversion 1/δ (δ > 0).
9 Assumptions Motivation - finance problem Stock price model We assume that Assumption 1 β {0} [ 1 2, 1); 2 in the case of β = 1/2, we require m > ν 2 /2 and Y 0 > 0 a.s., in the case of 1/2 < β < 1, we require m > 0 and Y 0 > 0 a.s.; 3 σ(y) C(R; R + ) satisfies σ(y) C(1 + y σ ), for some constants C > 0 and σ with 0 σ < 1 β.
10 Examples of Y process Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (take β = 0) CIR process (take β = 1/2) dy t = 1 δ (m Y t)dt + ν δ dw (2) t. dy t = 1 δ (m Y t)dt + ν δ Yt dw (2) t.
11 Rescaling time Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Let X t = log S t. Rescale time t ɛt. ( dx ɛ,t = ɛ r 1 ) 2 σ2 (Y ɛ,t ) dt + ɛ σ(y ɛ,t )dw (1) t (2a) dy ɛ,t = ɛ ɛ δ (m Y ɛ,t)dt + ν δ Y ɛ,tdw β (2) t. (2b) Our mean-reversion time δ is ɛ-dependent.
12 Rescaling time Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Let X t = log S t. Rescale time t ɛt. ( dx ɛ,t = ɛ r 1 ) 2 σ2 (Y ɛ,t ) dt + ɛ σ(y ɛ,t )dw (1) t (2a) dy ɛ,t = ɛ ɛ δ (m Y ɛ,t)dt + ν δ Y ɛ,tdw β (2) t. (2b) Our mean-reversion time δ is ɛ-dependent. Consider 2 regimes: δ = ɛ 4 (ultra-fast regime) δ = ɛ 2 (fast regime)
13 Rescaling time Motivation - finance problem Stock price model Let X t = log S t. Rescale time t ɛt. ( dx ɛ,t = ɛ r 1 ) 2 σ2 (Y ɛ,t ) dt + ɛ σ(y ɛ,t )dw (1) t (2a) dy ɛ,t = ɛ ɛ δ (m Y ɛ,t)dt + ν δ Y ɛ,tdw β (2) t. (2b) Our mean-reversion time δ is ɛ-dependent. Consider 2 regimes: δ = ɛ 4 (ultra-fast regime) δ = ɛ 2 (fast regime) As ɛ 0, we look at small time asymptotics of X process but large time asymptotics of the Y process. Y is mean-reverting and ergodic and approaches its invariant distribution in large time. The effect of Y gets averaged!
14 Large Deviation Principle (LDP) LDP Ultra-fast mean-reversion regime Slower mean-reversion regime Let X ɛ,0 = x. We prove the following large deviation estimates of the probabilities of {X ɛ,t > x } when x > x. THEOREM lim ɛ log P(X ɛ,t > x ) = I (x ; x, t) ɛ 0 with rate functions I (x ; x, t) as follows.
15 Rate function (δ = ɛ 4 case) LDP Ultra-fast mean-reversion regime Slower mean-reversion regime When δ = ɛ 4, I (x ; x, t) = x x 2 2 σ 2, t where σ 2 is the average of the volatility function σ(y) with respect to the invariant distribution of Y.
16 Rate function (δ = ɛ 2 case) LDP Ultra-fast mean-reversion regime Slower mean-reversion regime When δ = ɛ 2, where H 0 (p) = { I (x ; x, t) = t sup p p R ( x x t ) } H 0 (p) lim T 1 log E[e 1 R T 2 p2 0 σ2 (Y p s )ds Y p 0 T + = y]. Y p is the process with the perturbed Y process with generator B p B p g(y) = Bg(y) + ρσνy β p y g(y), (3) where B is the generator of the Y process.
17 Problem Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Two aspects to this problem: It is a Large Deviation problem coupled with a homogenization problem.
18 Key Steps in Proof Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Prove convergence of the following functionals u h ɛ (t, x, y) := ɛ log E[e ɛ 1 h(x ɛ,t) X ɛ,0 = x, Y ɛ,0 = y], h C b (R) to u0 h (t, x).
19 Key Steps in Proof Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Prove convergence of the following functionals u h ɛ (t, x, y) := ɛ log E[e ɛ 1 h(x ɛ,t) X ɛ,0 = x, Y ɛ,0 = y], h C b (R) to u0 h (t, x). Prove exponential tightness of {X ɛ,t } ɛ>0, i.e. for any α > 0 there exists a compact set K α R such that lim ɛ log P(X ɛ,t / K α ) α. ɛ 0
20 Key Steps in Proof Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Prove convergence of the following functionals u h ɛ (t, x, y) := ɛ log E[e ɛ 1 h(x ɛ,t) X ɛ,0 = x, Y ɛ,0 = y], h C b (R) to u0 h (t, x). Prove exponential tightness of {X ɛ,t } ɛ>0, i.e. for any α > 0 there exists a compact set K α R such that lim ɛ log P(X ɛ,t / K α ) α. ɛ 0 Then, by Bryc s inverse Varadhan lemma, {X ɛ,t } ɛ>0 satisfies a LDP with I (x ; x, t) := sup {h(x ) u0(t, h x)}. h C b (R)
21 Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Convergence of u ɛ Fix h C b (R). How do we prove converges? u ɛ (t, x, y) := ɛ log E[e ɛ 1 h(x ɛ,t) X ɛ,0 = x, Y ɛ,0 = y]
22 Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Convergence of u ɛ Possible ways: Compute u ɛ and take limit. Use PDE (viscosity solution) approach. Operator-theoretic approach (See Feng and Kurtz [2]): u h ɛ = S ɛ (t)h is a nonlinear contraction semigroup. Method: Let H ɛ denote nonlinear generator of S ɛ (t). Prove H ɛ H. Invoke Crandall-Liggett generation theorem to get the limit semigroup S(t) corresponding to H. A variational representation for S ɛ (t)h can be obtained. S ɛ (t) can be interpreted as a Nisio semigroup.
23 PDE Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions u ɛ satisfies the following nonlinear pde: t u = H ɛ u, in (0, T ] R E 0 ; (4a) u(0, x, y) = h(x), (x, y) R E 0. (4b) E 0 is the state space of Y.
24 Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions H ɛ Let A ɛ denote the generator of the markov process (X ɛ,, Y ɛ, ). Then H ɛ u(t, x, y) = ɛe ɛ 1u A ɛ e ɛ 1u (t, x, y) ( = ɛ (r 1 2 σ2 ) x u + 1 ) 2 σ2 xxu σ xu 2 where, + ɛ2 1u δ e ɛ Be ɛ 1u + ρσ(y)νy β ( ɛ xy 2 u + 1 x u y u) δ δ ɛ 2 1u δ e ɛ Be ɛ 1u = ɛ δ Bu + 1 δ 1 2 νy β y u 2. (5)
25 u 0 for δ = ɛ 4 case Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions We prove that as ɛ 0, u ɛ u 0 where u 0 satisfies the HJB equation t u 0 = 1 2 σ xu 0 (x) 2 ; u 0 (0, x) = h(x), where σ 2 is the average of σ 2 ( ) with respect to the invariant distribution of Y.
26 u 0 for δ = ɛ 2 case Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions We prove that as ɛ 0, u ɛ u 0 where u 0 satisfies the HJB equation t u 0 = H 0 ( x u 0 ) u 0 (0, x) = h(x), where H 0 (p) = lim T 1 log E[e 1 R T 2 p2 0 σ2 (Y p s )ds Y p 0 T + = y].
27 Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Rigorous proof of convergence of u ɛ We use viscosity solution techniques adapted from Feng and Kurtz [2]. Difficulties: In what sense do the operators H ɛ converge? How do we identify the limit operator? We are averaging over a non-compact space! -We need to carefully choose suitable perturbed test functions in our proof. -The perturbed test functions f ɛ (t, x, y) and H ɛ f ɛ (t, x, y) should have compact level sets.
28 Bryc s lemma PDE Convergence of viscosity solutions Rigorous proof of convergence of u ɛ We prove conditions for convergence of u ɛ, solutions (in the viscosity solution sense) of t u = H ɛ u, to a sub-solution of and a super-solution of t u(t, x) inf α Λ H 0(x, u(t, x), D 2 u(t, x); α), (8) t u(t, x) sup H 1 (x, u(t, x), D 2 u(t, x); α). (9) α Λ The method used is a generalization of Barles-Perthame s half-relaxed limit arguments first introduced in single scale, compact space setting (see Fleming and Soner [3]).
29 Asymptotics of option price Option pricing Implied Volatility Consider an out-of-the-money European call option i.e. S 0 < K or x = log S 0 < log K. Lemma lim ɛ log ɛ 0 E[e rɛt (S ɛ,t K) + ] = I (log K; x, t), + where I is the rate function for LDP of {X ɛ,t } ɛ>0.
30 Asymptotics of option price Option pricing Implied Volatility Proof. lim ɛ log ɛ 0 E[e rɛt (S ɛ,t K) + ] = lim ɛ log + ɛ 0 + (by Laplace principle) = lim ɛ log ɛ 0 + lim ɛ 0 + ɛ log K K K P(S ɛ,t > z)dz = inf I (log z; x, t) z (K, ) = I (log K; x, t) P(X ɛ,t > log z)dz { exp I (log z; x, t) ɛ as I is a continuous, increasing function in the interval (x, ). } dz

34 Black-Scholes model Option pricing Implied Volatility A simple model for this stock price is the B-S model ds t = rs t dt + σs t dw t ; σ > 0 is called volatility. Price of a call option with strike price K and maturity time T under this model can be easily calculated: E BS [ e rt (S T K) +] ( ) ( ) log(s0 /K) + rt = S 0 Φ σ2 T σ Ke rt log(s0 /K) + rt 1 2 Φ σ2 T T σ T (Black-Scholes Formula)
35 Implied Volatility Option pricing Implied Volatility Implied Volatility, Σ(T, K), is the volatility parameter value to be inputed in the Black-Scholes model to match a call option price. Implied volatility for Black-Scholes model is a constant for all T and K. However, implied volatilities of market prices are not constant and vary with T and K. Keeping T fixed, the graph of implied volatilities of market prices as a function of K is approximately U-shaped.
36 Implied volatility Option pricing Implied Volatility Let σ ɛ denote the implied volatility corresponding to strike price K of option price given by our stochastic volatility model. Then σ ɛ is obtained by solving: ( ) ( ) x log K + rɛt + 1 e rɛt 2 S 0 Φ σ2 ɛɛt x log K + rɛt 1 2 KΦ σ2 ɛɛt σ ɛ ɛt σ ɛ ɛt = E [ e rɛt (S ɛ,t K) +] I (log K;x,t) e ɛ
37 Option pricing Implied Volatility Taking lim ɛ 0 ɛ log on both sides, we get (log K lim ɛ 0 σ2 x)2 + ɛ = 2I (log K; x, t)t.
38 Option pricing Implied Volatility Taking lim ɛ 0 ɛ log on both sides, we get (log K lim ɛ 0 σ2 x)2 + ɛ = 2I (log K; x, t)t. In the regime δ = ɛ 4, we get lim ɛ 0 + σ 2 ɛ = σ 2. In the regime δ = ɛ 2, we need to first compute the quantity H 0 defined as the limit of a log moment. This can be computed for the Heston model i.e. when σ(y) = y and β = 1/2.
39 Option pricing Implied Volatility A LDP and applications to option pricing and implied volatility for the Heston Model are in Feng, Forde and Fouque [1]. Fig Here we have plotted Λ, Λ, and the implied volatility in the small-ǫ limit as a function Here x = log(k/s of the log-moneyness 0 ). Take x = log(k/s0). σ(y) The= parameters y and are t = the 1, ergodic parameters mean θ =.04, convexity are ν/κ = 1.74 (κ 1.15, ν =.2), and skew ρ =.4 (dashed blue), ρ = 0 (solid black), ρ = +.4 (dotted t = 1, β = 1/2, red). m =.04, ν = 1.74 and ρ =.4 (dashed blue), ρ = 0 (solid black), ρ = +.4 (dotted red). converges to zero (we referrohini to [10] Kumar for details).
40 Rate functions (δ = ɛ 4 ) I (x ; x, t) = x x 2 2 σ 2 t is the rate function for {Z ɛ,t } ɛ>0 where Z ɛ, satisfies Z ɛ,0 = x and (Z ɛ,t = log S BS ɛ,t ) t Z ɛ,t = x + ɛ (r 12 ) σ2 ds + t ɛ σdw s 0 0
41 Rate functions (δ = ɛ 4 ) I (x ; x, t) = x x 2 2 σ 2 t is the rate function for {Z ɛ,t } ɛ>0 where Z ɛ, satisfies Z ɛ,0 = x and (Z ɛ,t = log S BS ɛ,t ) t Z ɛ,t = x + ɛ (r 12 ) σ2 ds + t ɛ σdw s 0 0 i.e. in this regime, the mean-reversion of Y is so fast that σ(y ( )) gets averaged to σ and the stock price behaves effectively like the Black-scholes model with constant volatility σ.
42 Rate functions (δ = ɛ 2 ) { I (x ; x, t) = t sup p p R ( x x t ) } H 0 (p)
43 H 0 H 0 (p) = lim T 1 log E[e 1 R T 2 p2 0 σ2 (Y p s )ds Y p 0 T + = y]; Process Y p is multiplicative ergodic (a strong enough ergodic property that the above limit exists and is independent of Y p 0 = y), see Kontoyiannis and Meyn [4] for definition of multiplicative ergodicity.
44 H 0 (p) = lim T 1 log E[e 1 R T 2 p2 0 σ2 (Y p s )ds Y p 0 T + ( p 2 ) = sup σ 2 dµ J(µ; p). µ P(R +) 2 R + = y]} Where J( ; p) is the rate function for the LDP of the occupation measures {µ T ( )} T 0 : µ T (A) = 1 T T 0 1 {Y p s A}ds average amount of time Y p spends in set A. (See Stroock [5].)
45 Y p is a mean-reverting and ergodic process. As ɛ 0, the distribution of Yɛ,t p approaches its invariant distribution. J( ; p) measures the cost of deviation of Yɛ,t p from its invariant distribution.
46 Rate functions (δ = ɛ 2 ) I (x ; x, t) = t sup inf p R µ P(R +) { p ( x x t ) p 2 2 } σ 2 dµ + J(µ; p) R +
47 Rate functions (δ = ɛ 2 ) I (x ; x, t) = t sup inf p R µ P(R +) { p ( x x t ) p 2 2 } σ 2 dµ + J(µ; p) R + The deviation {X ɛ,t > x } is caused by a perturbation of Y ɛ, to Y p then Yɛ, p deviates from its invariant distribution. ɛ, and
