5 Short-time asymptotics of Option Prices Short-time ATM Skew Asymptotics Short-time ATM Skew Asymptotics Theorem (F-L & Ólafsson, F&S 2016) For Y (1, 2), the implied volatility ˆσ (κ, t) of a vanilla option with log-moneyness κ and time-to-maturity t is such that d 1 t 1 2, if pure jump model with C + C, ˆσ (κ, t) d 1 t Y, if pure jump model with C + = C, κ κ=0 d 1 t 1 Y 2, if mixed model with C + C, d 1, if mixed model with C + = C. Furthermore, in the asymmetric cases, the sign of d 1 is the same as that of C + C. J.E. Figueroa-López (WUSTL) Asymptotics in Financial Mathematics CCF Seminar 5 / 39

(b) The implied volatility smiles on Jan. 15, 2014, corresponding to maturities ranging from (8 days) to 0.25 (3 months), show greater steepness as time-to-maturity decreases, which is consistent with the presence of jumps.

62 1 In principle, we can apply the proposed method for varying volatility t σ t by localization; i.e., applying it to periods where σ is approximately constant. 2 However, is it possible to analyze the asymptotic behavior of MSE c = ε 2 G(ε) in terms of certain estimable summary measures? Say, G(ε) G 0 (ε, m 1,..., m n, σ, σ), where σ := inf t T σ t and σ := sup t T σ t J.E. Figueroa-López (WUSTL) Asymptotics in Financial Mathematics CCF Seminar 35 / 39
63 3 As it turns, for a Lévy process J and constant σ, the expected [ MSE(ε) := E (TRV n (ε) IV ) 2] is such that d dε MSE(ε) = nε2 E[a 1 (ε)] (ε 2 + 2(n 1)E[b 1 (ε)] 2nh n σ 2) J.E. Figueroa-López (WUSTL) Asymptotics in Financial Mathematics CCF Seminar 36 / 39
