4 Motivation Empirical features of implied volatility Implied volatility 1 Throughout, S t denotes the time-t price of an underlying asset; 2 A European Call Option is a contract that promises the payoff X = max{s T K, 0} = (S T K ) +, at a predetermined time T for a premium Π t at time t < T ; 3 The implied volatility ˆσ := ˆσ t (K, T ) of a given premium Π t is defined by { ( ) } Π BS t (ˆσ, T, K, S, r) := e r(t t) E SeˆσW T t +(r ˆσ2 2 )(T t) K = Π t, + where W T t N (0, T t); 4 There is one (and only one) implied volatility ˆσ for each possible arbitrage-free price Π t ((S Ke r(t t) ) +, S); 5 Larger ˆσ means a higher premium and, hence, higher stock riskiness;
5 Motivation Empirical features of implied volatility Usage and empirical features 1 Implied vols are used as a quotation devise of options; 2 Under "normal conditions", observed market ˆσ ranges in (0.1, 0.6); 3 Market ˆσ(K, T ) varies with K in a very specific manner (smile effect): U-shape (smirk) with a minimum around K ; Decreasing (skew); 4 Interpretation: Market charges a premium for deep OTM puts (or deep ITM calls) above their BS price computed with ATM implied vol ˆσ(S 0, T ); 5 Smile flattens out as T ; 6 Significant skew for short-term options (t T ); 7 Less variability when expressed in terms of the moneyness m = K /S;
6 Motivation Close-to-expiration smile for continuous models Known results for continuous models 1 [Gatheral et al. (2010)]. In a local volatility model, ds t = S t {rdt + σ(s t )dw t } S t+h S t S t D N ( rh, σ 2 (S t )h ), the implied volatility satisfies: ( where σ 0 := σ 0 (K ) := ˆσ t (T, K ) = σ 0 + σ 1 (T t) + O((T t) 2 ), 1 ln(s/k ) K S ) 1. 1 uσ(u) du 2 In particular, as t T, implied volatility smile behaves like σ 0 (K ); 3 Similar behavior for other popular continuous model including Heston model, SABR model, etc.

41 Open problems and future directions Open problems and future directions 1 The numerical results show that the second order significantly improves the first order approximation for relatively large values of κ (say, κ.2); 2 For κ > 0.2, it seems that τ has to be extremely small for the approximations to work well; 3 How to improve the performance of the approximations? 4 Two possible approaches to this problem: 1 Look for third or upper order approximations (see Gao and Lee (2011)). 2 Note that V 0,α := 1 2 κ2 /(τ log(α/τ)) also satisfies στ 2 (κ) V 0,α (τ, κ), (τ 0). Why to pick α = 1? Choose α to minimize an approximation of the relative error of V 0,α. 5 Devise efficient methods to compute the 2nd term in the option price approximation.
