Efficient Asian option pricing under regime switching jump diffusions and stochastic volatility models

JL Kirkby, D Nguyen - Annals of Finance, 2020 - Springer
Utilizing frame duality and a FFT-based implementation of density projection we develop a
novel and efficient transform method to price Asian options for very general asset dynamics …

Efficient simulation of generalized SABR and stochastic local volatility models based on Markov chain approximations

Z Cui, JL Kirkby, D Nguyen - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
We propose a novel Monte Carlo simulation method for two-dimensional stochastic
differential equation (SDE) systems based on approximation through continuous-time …

A general framework for time-changed Markov processes and applications

Z Cui, JL Kirkby, D Nguyen - European Journal of Operational Research, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose a general approximation framework for the valuation of (path-
dependent) options under time-changed Markov processes. The underlying background …

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 …

A general valuation framework for rough stochastic local volatility models and applications

W Yang, J Ma, Z Cui - European Journal of Operational Research, 2025 - Elsevier
Rough volatility models are a new class of stochastic volatility models that have been shown
to provide a consistently good fit to implied volatility smiles of SPX options. They are …

Continuous-time Markov chain and regime switching approximations with applications to options pricing

Z Cui, J Lars Kirkby, D Nguyen - Modeling, stochastic control, optimization …, 2019 - Springer
In this chapter, we present recent developments in using the tools of continuous-time Markov
chains for the valuation of European and path-dependent financial derivatives. We also …

Pricing American drawdown options under Markov models

X Zhang, L Li, G Zhang - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
The drawdown in the price of an asset shows how much the price falls relative to its
historical maximum. This paper considers the pricing problem of perpetual American style …

A data-driven framework for consistent financial valuation and risk measurement

Z Cui, JL Kirkby, D Nguyen - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose a general data-driven framework that unifies the valuation and risk
measurement of financial derivatives, which is especially useful in markets with thinly-traded …

Short-maturity asymptotics for VIX and European options in local-stochastic volatility models

D Pirjol, X Wang, L Zhu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2407.16813, 2024 - arxiv.org
We derive the short-maturity asymptotics for European and VIX option prices in local-
stochastic volatility models where the volatility follows a continuous-path Markov process …

A general framework for pricing Asian options under stochastic volatility on parallel architectures

S Corsaro, I Kyriakou, D Marazzina, Z Marino - European Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we present a transform-based algorithm for pricing discretely monitored
arithmetic Asian options with remarkable accuracy in a general stochastic volatility …
