Regular Variation and Smile Asymptotics

Shalom Benaim, Peter Friz

英文摘要：

We consider risk-neutral returns and show how their tail asymptotics translate directly to asymptotics of the implied volatility smile, thereby sharpening Roger Lee's celebrated moment formula. The theory of regular variation provides the ideal mathematical framework to formulate and prove such results. The practical value of our formulae comes from the vast literature on tail asymptotics and our conditions are often seen to be true by simple inspection of known results.

Smile Asymptotics II: Models with Known Moment Generating Function

In a recent article the authors obtained a formula which relates explicitly the tail of risk neutral returns with the wing behavior of the Black Scholes implied volatility smile. In situations where precise tail asymptotics are unknown but a moment generating function is available we first establish, under easy-to-check conditions, tail asymptoics on logarithmic scale as soft applications of standard Tauberian theorems. Such asymptotics are enough to make the tail-wing formula work and we so obtain a version of Lee's moment formula with the novel guarantee that there is indeed a limiting slope…

General smile asymptotics with bounded maturity

We provide explicit conditions on the distribution of risk-neutral log-returns which yield sharp asymptotic estimates on the implied volatility smile. We allow for a variety of asymptotic regimes, including both small maturity (with arbitrary strike) and extreme strike (with arbitrary bounded maturity), extending previous work of Benaim and Friz [Math. Finance 19 (2009), 1-12]. We present applications to popular models, including Carr-Wu finite moment logstable model, Merton's jump diffusion model and Heston's model.

The asymptotic smile of a multiscaling stochastic volatility model

We consider a stochastic volatility model which captures relevant stylized facts of financial series, including the multi-scaling of moments. The volatility evolves according to a generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with super-linear mean reversion. Using large deviations techniques, we determine the asymptotic shape of the implied volatility surface in any regime of small maturity $t \to 0$ or extreme log-strike $|κ| \to \infty$ (with bounded maturity). Even if the price has continuous paths, out-of-the-money implied volatility diverges for small maturity, producing a very pronounced smi…

The Small-Maturity Heston Forward Smile

In this paper we investigate the asymptotics of forward-start options and the forward implied volatility smile in the Heston model as the maturity approaches zero. We prove that the forward smile for out-of-the-money options explodes and compute a closed-form high-order expansion detailing the rate of the explosion. Furthermore the result shows that the square-root behaviour of the variance process induces a singularity such that for certain parameter configurations one cannot obtain high-order out-of-the-money forward smile asymptotics. In the at-the-money case a separate model-independent an…

Asymptotics of forward implied volatility

We prove here a general closed-form expansion formula for forward-start options and the forward implied volatility smile in a large class of models, including the Heston stochastic volatility and time-changed exponential Lévy models. This expansion applies to both small and large maturities and is based solely on the properties of the forward characteristic function of the underlying process. The method is based on sharp large deviations techniques, and allows us to recover (in particular) many results for the spot implied volatility smile. In passing we (i) show that the forward-start date ha…

From Smile Asymptotics to Market Risk Measures

The left tail of the implied volatility skew, coming from quotes on out-of-the-money put options, can be thought to reflect the market's assessment of the risk of a huge drop in stock prices. We analyze how this market information can be integrated into the theoretical framework of convex monetary measures of risk. In particular, we make use of indifference pricing by dynamic convex risk measures, which are given as solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), to establish a link between these two approaches to risk measurement. We derive a characterization of the implied v…

Asymptotic Entropy of Random Walks on Regular Languages over a Finite Alphabet

We prove existence of asymptotic entropy of random walks on regular languages over a finite alphabet and we give formulas for it. Furthermore, we show that the entropy varies real-analytically in terms of probability measures of constant support, which describe the random walk. This setting applies, in particular, to random walks on virtually free groups.

The asymptotic expansion of the regular discretization error of Itô integrals

We study a Edgeworth-type refinement of the central limit theorem for the discretizacion error of Itô integrals. Towards this end, we introduce a new approach, based on the anticipating Itô formula. This alternative technique allows us to compute explicitly the terms of the corresponding expansion formula.

Precise asymptotics of some meeting times arising from the voter model on large random regular graphs

We consider two independent stationary random walks on large random regular graphs of degree $k\geq 3$ with $N$ vertices. On these graphs, the exponential approximations of the meeting times are known to follow from existing methods and form a basis for the voter model's diffusion approximations. The main result of this note improves the exponential approximations to an explicit form such that the first moments are asymptotically equivalent to $N(k-1)/[2(k-2)]$.

Asymptotics of convolution with the semi-regular-variation tail and its application to risk

In this paper, according to a certain criterion, we divide the exponential distribution class into three subclasses. One of them is closely related to the regular-variation-tailed distribution class, so it is called the semi-regular-variation-tailed distribution class. In the class, although all distributions are not convolution equivalent,they still have some good properties. We give the precise tail asymptotic expression of convolution of these distributions, and prove that the new class is closed under convolution. In addition, we do not need to require the corresponding random variables to…

Asymptotic Autonomy of Random Attractors in Regular Spaces for Non-autonomous Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations

This article concerns the long-term random dynamics in regular spaces for a non-autonomous Navier-Stokes equation defined on a bounded smooth domain $\mathcal{O}$ driven by multiplicative and additive noise. For the two kinds of noise driven equations, we demonstrate the existence of a unique pullback attractor which is backward compact and asymptotically autonomous in $\mathbb{L}^2(\mathcal{O})$ and $\mathbb{H}_0^1(\mathcal{O})$, respectively. The backward-uniform flattening property of the solution is used to prove the backward-uniform pullback asymptotic compactness of the non-autonomous ra…
