Pricing options on realized variance in the Heston model with jumps in returns and volatility

A Sepp - Journal of Computational Finance, 2008 - papers.ssrn.com
We develop analytical methodology for pricing and hedging options on the realized variance
under the Heston stochastic variance model (1993) augmented with jumps in asset returns …

Automated market-making for fiat currencies

A Lipton, A Sepp - arXiv preprint arXiv:2109.12196, 2021 - arxiv.org
We present an automated market-making (AMM) cross-settlement mechanism for digital
assets on interoperable blockchains, focusing on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and …

Credit value adjustment for credit default swaps via the structural default model

A Lipton, A Sepp - The Journal of Credit Risk, 2009 - papers.ssrn.com
We propose a structural default model to evaluate the counterparty risk by trading in credit
default swap (CDS) contracts. We model the joint evolution of the firm value of the entity …

Beta stochastic volatility model

A Sepp, P Karasinski - Risk Magazine, 2012 - papers.ssrn.com
We introduce the beta stochastic volatility model and discuss empirical features of this model
and its calibration. This model is appealing because, first, its parameters can be easily …

VIX option pricing in a jump-diffusion model

A Sepp - Risk magazine, 2008 - papers.ssrn.com
We first discuss the positive volatility skew observed in the implied volatilities of VIX options.
To model this feature, we apply the square root stochastic variance model with variance …

Analytical pricing of double-barrier options under a double-exponential jump diffusion process: applications of Laplace transform

A Sepp - International Journal of Theoretical and Applied …, 2004 - World Scientific
We derive explicit formulas for pricing double (single) barrier and touch options with time-dependent
rebates assuming that the asset price follows a double-exponential jump diffusion …

Profit-and-loss of option strategies under quadratic skew parametrization

A Sepp - Available at SSRN 1697829, 2010 - papers.ssrn.com
We analyse the profit-and-loss (P&L) of delta-hedging strategies for vanilla options in the
presence of the implied volatility skew and derive an approximation for the P&L under the …

Filling the gaps

A Lipton, A Sepp - Risk Magazine, October, 2011 - papers.ssrn.com
The calibration of local volatility models to market data is one of the most fundamental problems
of financial engineering. Under the restrictive assumption that the entire implied volatility …

Extended CreditGrades model with stochastic volatility and jumps

A Sepp - Wilmott Magazine, 2006 - papers.ssrn.com
We present two robust extensions of the CreditGrades model: the first one assumes that the
variance of returns on the firm's assets is stochastic, and the second one assumes that the …

[PDF][PDF] Fourier transform for option pricing under affine jump-diffusions: An overview

A Sepp - Unpublished Manuscript, available at www. hot. ee …, 2003 - Citeseer
This paper surveys the developments in the finance literature with respect to applying the
Fourier transform for option pricing under affine jumpdiffusions. We provide a broad description …
