相对论效应下的波动率微笑

Volatility Smile as Relativistic Effect

Zura Kakushadze

摘要:

我们给出了一个明确的公式的概率分布的基础上的相对论性扩展的布朗运动。分布1)适当地归一化,2)服从塔定律(半群性质),因此我们可以构造鞅和自融资对冲策略以及为索赔(期权)定价。该模型是Black-Scholes-Merton模型的一个1-常数参数扩展。新的参数是狭义相对论中光速的模拟。然而,在金融环境中,没有“速度限制”,新参数具有特征扩散速度的含义,在该速度下,相对论效应变得重要并导致更柔和的渐近行为,即,厚尾,导致波动率微笑。我们认为,这样的(列维)过程的非局部随机描述是不够的,并讨论从物理的本地描述。该演示文稿旨在进行教学。

英文摘要:

We give an explicit formula for the probability distribution based on a relativistic extension of Brownian motion. The distribution 1) is properly normalized and 2) obeys the tower law (semigroup property), so we can construct martingales and self-financing hedging strategies and price claims (options). This model is a 1-constant-parameter extension of the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The new parameter is the analog of the speed of light in Special Relativity. However, in the financial context there is no "speed limit" and the new parameter has the meaning of a characteristic diffusion speed at which relativistic effects become important and lead to a much softer asymptotic behavior, i.e., fat tails, giving rise to volatility smiles. We argue that a nonlocal stochastic description of such (Levy) processes is inadequate and discuss a local description from physics. The presentation is intended to be pedagogical.
