JMF Stochastic Volatility Jump-Diffusion Model for Option Pricing Nonthiya Makate, Pairote Sattayatham School of Mathematics, Suranaree University of Technology, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand E-mail: nonthiyam@hotmail.com, pairote @ s ut . ac.t h Received July 26, 2011; revised September 2, 2011; accepted Septembe r 15, 2011 Abstract An alternative option pricing model is proposed, in which the asset prices follow the jump-diffusion model with square root stochastic volatility. The stochastic volatility follows the jump-diffusion with square root and mean reverting. We find a formulation for the European-style option in terms of characteristic functions of tail probabilities. Keywords: Jump-Diffusion Model, Stochastic Volatility, Characteristic Function, Option Pricing 1. Introduction Let be a probability space with filtration . All processes that we shall consider in this section will be defined in this space. An asset price model with stochastic volatility has been defined by Heston [1] which has the following dynamics: ,,P 0 ttT ddd tt tt S SS tvW , (1) ,dd v ttt vvtv d t W where t is the asset price, S is the rate of return of the asset, t is the volatility of asset returns, v0 is a mean-reverting rate, is the long term variance, 0 is the volatility of volatility, and are standard Brownian motions corresponding to the proc- esses t and t, respectively, with constant correlation S t Wv t W S v . In 1996, Bate [2] introduced the jump-diffusion sto- chastic volatility model by adding log normal jump t to the Heston stochastic volatility model. In the original formulation of Bate, the model has the following form: Y dd d S tttt ttt SStvdW SYN S , (2) dd v ttt vvtvd t W, where is the Poisson process which corresponds to the underlying asset t, t is the jump size of asset price return with log normal distribution and t means that there is a jump the value of the process before the jump is used on the left-hand side of the formula. Moreover, in 2003, Eraker Johannes and Polson [3] extended Bate’s work by incorporating jumps in volatility and their model is given by S t NS YS ddd S tttttt SS tvW SYN d S t , (3) ddd vv ttttv vvtvWZ d t N. Eraker et al. [3] developed a likelihood-based estima- tion strategy and provided estimates of parameters, spot volatility, jump times, and jump sizes using S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 index returns. Moreover, they examined the volatility structure of the S&P and Nasdaq indices and indicated that models with jumps in volatility are pre- ferred over those without jumps in volatility. But they did not provide a closed-form formula for the price of a European call option. In this paper, we would like to consider the problem of finding a closed-form formula for a European call option where the underlying asset and volatility follow the Model (3). This formula will be useful for option pricing rather than an estimation of it as appeared in Eraker’s work. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Sec- tion 2, we briefly discuss the model descriptions for the option pricing. The relationship between stochastic dif- ferential equations and partial differential equations for the jump-diffusion process with jump stochastic volatil- ity is presented in Section 3. Finally, a closed-form for- mula for a European call option in terms of characteristic functions is presented. 2. Model Descriptions It is assumed that a risk-neutral probability measure

MAKATE ET AL. exists, the asset price t under this measure follows a jump- diffusion process, and the volatility t follows a pure mean reverting and square root diffusion process with jump, i.e. our models are governed by the following dynamics: Sv ddd SS tt d S t ttt SSr mtvSYN t W , (4) dddd vv tt ttt vvtWZN t v, where t, t, , S v , , and are defined as in Bate’s model, is the risk-free interest rate, and are independent Poisson processes with constant in- tensities S t Wv t W rS t N v t NS and v respectively. is the jump size of the asset price return with density t Y Y and :m t and t EY is the jump size of the volatility with density Z. Moreover, we assume that the jump processes and are independent of standard Brownian motions and . z t N S t W X S t Nv v t W 3. Partial Integro-D if f e r en t i al Equations Consider the process where 12 , ttt XX 1 t and 2 t are processes in and satisfy the following equations: 112 12 11 d,,,, ttt tt tt 11 dt 1 d t d ft XXtW XY XXt N XXt g dg (5) 212 12 22 2 d,,,, d ttttt tt X ftXXtW ZN 2 d t where 112 ,, gf and 2 are all continuously differenti- able, and are standard Brownian motions 1 t W 2 d t W with 12 d, Corr Wtt W, and are 1 t N 2 t N independent Poisson processes with constant intensities 1 and 2 respectively. Since every compound Poisson process can be repre- sented as an integral form of a Poisson random measure [4] then the last term on the right hand side of (5) can be written as follows: 11 11 00 dd tt ss snnsQ 1 1 t N n d, YNXYqJ sq X N n 2 2 1 00 dd t tt ssnRd, NZrJs r where n are i.i.d. random variables with density Y Y and Q is a Poisson random measure of the process 1 t 1 tn n with intensity measure , N QY ddqt 1 Yn are i.i.d. random variables with density and ,z Z is a Poisson random measure of the process with 2 1 t N t n R n Z intensity measure . 2dd Zrt Let 12 ,Uxx be a bounded real-valued function and twice continuously differentiable with respect to 1 and 2 and 12 12 121 2 ,,, , TT tt uxxtEUX XXxXx (6) By the two dimensional Dynkin formula [5], is a solution of the partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) u 12 12 (1) 12 12 (2) 12 12 ,, 0,, ,, ,,d ,, ,,d Y Z uxxt uxxt t uxyxtuxxty y uxxztuxxtz z subject to the final condition 12 12 ,, ,uxxT Uxx.

A Closed-Form Formula for the Price of a European Call Option Let C denote the price at time t of a European style call option on the current price of the underlying asset with strike price and expiration time . t S K T The terminal payoff of a European call option on the underlying stock with strike price is t SK max ,0 T SK. This means that the holder will exercise his right only if and then his gain is T. Otherwise, if T SKSK T SK, then the holder will buy the underlying asset from the market and the value of the option is zero. Assuming the risk-free interest rate is constant over the lifetime of the option, the price of the European call at time t is equal to the discounted conditional expected payoff r Copyright © 2011 SciRes.

This conjecture exploits the linearity of the coefficient in PIDE (17). Note that the characteristic function 1 always exists.
