Hybrid equity swap, cap, and floor pricing under stochastic interest by Markov chain approximation

JL Kirkby - European Journal of Operational Research, 2023 - Elsevier
Hybrid equity-rate derivatives are commonly traded between financial institutions, but are
challenging to price with traditional methods. Especially challenging are those contracts …

[HTML][HTML] Option pricing under regime-switching jump–diffusion models

M Costabile, A Leccadito, I Massabó… - Journal of Computational …, 2014 - Elsevier
We present an explicit formula and a multinomial approach for pricing contingent claims

Analysis of VIX-linked fee incentives in variable annuities via continuous-time Markov chain approximation

A MacKay, MC Vachon, Z Cui - Quantitative Finance, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
We consider the pricing of variable annuities (VAs) with general fee structures under a class
of stochastic volatility models which includes the Heston, Hull-White, Scott, α …

Maximum likelihood estimation of non-affine volatility processes

K Chourdakis, G Dotsis - Journal of Empirical Finance, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper we develop a new estimation method for extracting non-affine latent stochastic

Forecasting latent volatility through a Markov chain approximation filter

CC Lo, K Skindilias… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a new methodology for filtering and forecasting the latent variance in a two‐

A tree approach to options pricing under regime-switching jump diffusion models

RH Liu, D Nguyen - International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
A simple, efficient tree is developed to price options in a very general regime-switching jump
diffusion model. Under this model, the switching rates of the switching process depend on …
