9 Affine Stochastic Volatility Models (2) We can prove that φ and ψ are differentiable in t, and thus that (X t, V t ) t 0 is a regular affine process in the sense of Duffie et al. [2003]. Implies in particular that (X t, V t ) t 0 is a semi-martingale with absolutely continuous characteristics. The class of ASVMs such defined, includes many important stochastic volatility models: the Heston model with and without added jumps, the models of Bates [1996, 2000] and the Barndorff-Nielsen-Shephard (BNS) model. Exponential-Lévy models and the Black-Scholes model can be treated as degenerate ASVMs.

Denote D Λ z := {u R : Λ z (u) < } and assume that (i) the origin belongs to DΛ ; z (ii) Λ z is essentially smooth, i.e. Λ z is differentiable throughout DΛ o and is steep at the boundaries. z Theorem (Gärtner-Ellis) Under Assumption A.1, the family of random variables (Z t ) t 0 satisfies the LDP with rate function (Λ z ), defined as the Fenchel-Legendre transform of Λ z, (Λ z ) (x) := sup{ux Λ z (u)}, for all x R. u R

27 From LDP to option prices Theorem (Option price asymptotics) Let x be a fixed real number. If (X t /t) t 1 satisfies a LDP under Q with good rate function Λ, the asymptotic behaviour of a put option with strike e xt reads [ (e lim t t 1 log E xt e ) ] { x Λ Xt = (x) if x Λ (0), + x if x > Λ (0). Analogous results can be obtained for call options using a measure change to the share measure. By comparing to the Black-Scholes model, the results can be transferred to implied volatility asymptotics.

28 LDP for affine models Definition: We say that the function R explodes at the boundary if lim n R (u n, w n ) = for any sequence {(u n, w n )} n N DR o converging to a boundary point of DR o. Theorem Let (X, V ) be an ASVM with χ(0) < 0 and χ(1) < 0 and assume that F is not identically null. If R explodes at the boundary, F is steep and {(0, 0), (1, 0)} D o F, then a LDP holds for X t/t as t. Lemma Under the same assumptions, if either of the following conditions holds: (i) m and µ have exponential moments of all orders; (ii) (X, V ) is a diffusion; then a LDP holds for X t /t as t.
