Pricing European Options in the Bates Stochastic Volatility Jump Model

Article Quant Q&A · Author: emcor

Summary

The document outlines the Bates stochastic volatility jump model, extending Heston dynamics by adding compound Poisson jumps to the asset price. It presents the risk-neutral asset and variance processes, the jump-size distribution, and a pricing partial integro-differential equation with a jump integral. The drift adjustment accounts for the expected jump size, while the variance follows mean-reverting square-root dynamics correlated with the asset’s Brownian motion.

It also sketches a Fourier-based closed-form approach for European calls, expressing prices through probabilities derived from characteristic functions. The text notes that numerical methods can approximate the pricing equation and that closed-form vanilla solutions exist. It gives equations but no numerical examples, calibration results, or comparison of methods. Some notation and formula details are difficult to interpret from the text alone, so the formulas would need verification before implementation; the document does not explain parameter estimation or model limitations.

Key ideas

  • The Bates model extends Heston dynamics by adding independent compound Poisson jumps to the asset price.
  • The risk-neutral pricing equation includes a jump integral and adjusts the asset drift for expected jumps.
  • European call prices can be represented using Fourier integrals and characteristic functions.
  • Numerical methods can approximate the pricing equation, while the document also sketches a closed-form vanilla pricing route.

# Option prices in Bates SVJ model?












In this [post] discussed the European put and call price formulas under the Heston Stochastic Volatility model.

There exists an important extension of Heston model to include diffusion jumps, known as Bates Stochastic Volatility Jump (SVJ) model, as referred to in this paper.

What are the option price formulas in SVJ model?

The Bates model is represented by the bivariate system of stochastic differential equations \begin{align} &dS_t=(r-q)S_tdt+\sqrt{v_t}S_tdW_1(t)+S_tdN_t\\ &dv_t=\kappa(\theta-v_t)dt+\sigma\sqrt{v_t}dW_2(t)\\ \end{align} where $$\mathbb{E^Q}[dW_1(t)dW_2(t)]=\rho dt$$ and $N_t$ is a compound Poisson process with intensity $\lambda$ and independent jumps $J$ with $$\ln{(1+J)}\tilde{~} N\left(\ln(1+\beta)-\frac{1}{2}\alpha^2\,\, ,\,\,\alpha^2\right)$$ The parameters $\beta$ and ${\alpha}$ determine the distribution of the jumps and the Poisson process is assumed to be independent of the Wiener processes.By application of delta-hedging argument,we have $$\frac{\partial U}{\partial t}+\frac{1}{2}{{v}_{t}}{{S}_{t}}^{2}\frac{{{\partial }^{2}}U}{\partial {{S}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{2}{{\sigma }^{2}}{{v}_{t}}\frac{{{\partial }^{2}}U}{\partial {{v}^{2}}}+\rho \sigma \,{{v}_{t}}{{S}_{t}}\frac{{{\partial }^{2}}U}{\partial S \partial v}+\,(r-q-\lambda\,\bar{k}){{S}_{t}}\frac{\partial U}{\partial S}+\kappa (\theta -{{v}_{t}})\,\frac{\partial U}{\partial v}-rU+I_U=0\,\,\,(1)$$ where $$I_U=\lambda\int_{0}^{\infty}[U(S\xi,v,t)-U(S,v,t)]\,g(\xi)\,d\xi$$ $$g(\xi)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\alpha\xi}e^{-\frac{1}{2\alpha^2}(\ln{\xi-m})^2}$$ $$m=\ln(1+\beta)-\frac{1}{2\alpha^2}$$ $$\bar{k}=e^{\frac{1}{2}\alpha^2+m}-1$$ It should be noted that closed-form solutions for vanilla-option payoff do exist but PIDE (1) is easily approximated by Numerical Methods.

- Dynamic of $S_t$ under historical measure \begin{align} &\frac{dS_t}{S_t}=(\mu-\lambda\,\bar{J})dt+\sqrt{v_t}dW_1(t)+J\,dN(t)\\ &\hspace{0.3cm}dv_t=\kappa(\theta-v_t)dt+\sigma\sqrt{v_t}dW_2(t),\\ \end{align} where $$\mathbb{E^P}[dW_1(t)dW_2(t)]=\rho dt,$$ $N_t$ is a compound Poisson process with intensity $\lambda$ and independent jumps $J$ with $$\ln{(1+J)}\tilde{~} N\left(\ln(1+\bar{J})-\frac{1}{2}\alpha^2\,\, ,\,\,\alpha^2\right).$$ The parameters $\bar{J}$ and ${\alpha}$ determine the distribution of the jumps and the Poisson process is assumed to be independent of the Wiener processes.



- Note that,when $\xi=0$ we have $\kappa^*=\kappa$ and $\theta^*=\theta$. We set $\xi=0$, because when we estimate the risk-neutral parameters to price options we do not need to estimate $\xi$. Also, when $\Delta J_w/J_w\rightarrow0$ thus we have $J^*=J$ and $\bar{J}^*=\bar{J}.$

- let $x_t=\ln S_t$ then \begin{align} C(t\,,{{S}_{t}},{{v}_{t}},J,K,T)={{S}_{t}}{{P}_{1}}-K\,{{e}^{-r\tau }}{{P}_{2}} \end{align} where,for $j=1,2$ \begin{align} & {{P}_{j}}({{x}_{t}}\,,\,{{v}_{t}}\,;\,\,{{x}_{T}},\ln K)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi }\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{\operatorname{Re}\left( \frac{{{e}^{-i\phi \ln K}}{{f}_{j}}(\phi ;t,x,v)}{i\phi } \right)}\,d\phi \\ &\\ &\hspace{1.9cm}{{f}_{j}}(\phi ;{{v}_{t}},{{x}_{t}})=\exp\left[{{C}_{j}}(\tau ,\phi) +{{D}_{j}}(\tau ,\phi ){{v}_{t}}+i\phi{{x}_{t}}+{{\Xi }_{j}}\right]\\ &\\ &\hspace{3.8cm}\Xi_j={{\lambda }^{*}}\tau\,{{(1+{{\kappa }^{*}})}^{{{u}_{j}}+\frac{1}{2}}}\left[ {{(1+{{\kappa }^{*}})}^{\phi }}{{e}^{{{\alpha }^{2}}({{u}_{j}}\phi +0.5{{\phi }^{2}})}}-1 \right],\\ \end{align} such that \begin{align} &C_j(\tau ,\phi)=(r-q-\lambda^*\bar{\kappa}^*)\phi\,\tau-\frac{\kappa^*\theta^*\,\tau}{\sigma^2}(\rho\sigma\phi-\beta_j-\gamma_j)-\frac{2\kappa^*\theta^*\,\tau}{\sigma^2}\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{2}(\rho\sigma\phi-\beta_j-\gamma_j)\frac{1-e^{\gamma_j\tau}}{\gamma_j}\right)\\ &\\ &D_j(\tau ,\phi)=\frac{-2(u_j\phi+\frac{1}{2}\phi^2)}{\rho\sigma\phi-\beta_j+\gamma_j\frac{1+e^{1-\gamma_j\tau}}{1-e^{1-\gamma_j\tau}}}\\ &\\ &\hspace{1.1cm}\gamma_j=\sqrt{(\rho\sigma\phi-\beta_j)^2-2\sigma^2(u_j\phi+0.5\phi^2)}\\ \end{align} and $$u_1=\frac{1}{2}\,,u_2=-\frac{1}{2}\,,\beta_1=\kappa^*-\rho\sigma\,,\beta_2=\kappa^*\,$$
