Explicit implied volatilities for multifactor local‐stochastic volatility models

M Lorig, S Pagliarani, A Pascucci - Mathematical Finance, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We consider an asset whose risk‐neutral dynamics are described by a general class of local‐
stochastic volatility models and derive a family of asymptotic expansions for European‐style …

Optimal liquidation under stochastic price impact

W Barger, M Lorig - International Journal of Theoretical and Applied …, 2019 - World Scientific
We assume a continuous-time price impact model similar to that of Almgren–Chriss but with
the added assumption that the price impact parameters are stochastic processes modeled …

Analytical expansions for parabolic equations

M Lorig, S Pagliarani, A Pascucci - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2015 - SIAM
We consider the Cauchy problem associated with a general parabolic partial differential
equation in d dimensions. We find a family of closed-form asymptotic approximations for the …

[HTML][HTML] Approximations for Asian options in local volatility models

P Foschi, S Pagliarani, A Pascucci - Journal of Computational and Applied …, 2013 - Elsevier
We develop approximate formulae expressed in terms of elementary functions for the
density, the price and the Greeks of path dependent options of Asian style, in a general local …

Adjoint expansions in local Lévy models

S Pagliarani, A Pascucci, C Riga - SIAM journal on Financial Mathematics, 2013 - SIAM
We propose a novel method for the analytical approximation in local volatility models with
Lévy jumps. The main result is an expansion of the characteristic function in a local Lévy …

Portfolio optimization under local-stochastic volatility: Coefficient taylor series approximations and implied sharpe ratio

M Lorig, R Sircar - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2016 - SIAM
We study the finite horizon Merton portfolio optimization problem in a general local-
stochastic volatility setting. Using model coefficient expansion techniques, we derive …

The exact Taylor formula of the implied volatility

S Pagliarani, A Pascucci - Finance and Stochastics, 2017 - Springer
In a model driven by a multidimensional local diffusion, we study the behavior of the implied
volatility σ σ and its derivatives with respect to log-strike kk and maturity TT near expiry and …

Optimal static quadratic hedging

T Leung, M Lorig - Quantitative Finance, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
We propose a flexible framework for hedging a contingent claim by holding static positions
in vanilla European calls, puts, bonds and forwards. A model-free expression is derived for …

Leveraged ETF implied volatilities from ETF dynamics

T Leung, M Lorig, A Pascucci - Mathematical Finance, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The growth of the exchange‐traded fund (ETF) industry has given rise to the trading of
options written on ETFs and their leveraged counterparts (LETFs). We study the relationship …

Closed-form Arrow-Debreu pricing for the Hull-White short rate model

C Turfus - Quantitative Finance, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
We consider the Hull-White short rate model and provide a systematic derivation of an Arrow-
Debreu pricing formula for European-style options in closed form, applying it to cap/floor …
