讲座主要内容

The absence of analytical option pricing formulas limits the empirical investigations into non-affine jump-diffusion stochastic volatility models using option data. In this paper, we address this constraint by employing the approximate closed-form option pricing formulas developed by Wan and Yang (2021). Our study delves into the empirical performance of nine different types of jump-diffusion stochastic volatility models, encompassing models with normal or double-exponential jump sizes in returns, and models with Heston, GARCH, or CEV stochastic volatilities. Applying the penalized nonlinear least squares estimation method introduced by Andersen et al. (2015) utilizing information from option panel data and realized volatilities, we find that a non-affine jump-diffusion stochastic volatility model with double exponential jump sizes in returns and GARCH diffusion in volatilities outperforms the others in fitting the Chinese SSE 50ETF option panel data both in-sample and out-of-sample, conducted both before and during the Covid-19 crisis.
