Bates Stochastic Volatility Jump model

The Bates and Scott option pricing models were designed to capture two features of the asset returns: 

- conditional volatility evolves over time in a stochastic but mean-reverting fashion

- the presence of occasional substantial outliers in the asset returns 

 

The two models combined the Heston model of SV with the Merton model of independent normally distributed jumps in the log asset price. 

 

The Bates model ignores IR risk, while the Scott model allows IR to be stochastic. 

Both models evaluate European option prices numerically, using the Fourier inversion approach of Heston. 

The Bates model also includes an approximation for pricing American options. 

 

The two models were historically important in showing that the tractable class of affine option pricing models includes jump processes as well as diffusion processes. 

 

In the Bates and Scott models, the risk-neutral processes for the underlying asset St and instantaneous variance Vt, are assumed to be of the form: 

Bates model

 

where b = cost of carry; Zt and Zvt are Wiener processes with correlation p; qt is an integer-valued Poisson counter with risk-neutral intensity Lambda* the counts the occurence of jumps; and k* is the random percentage jump size, with a Gaussian distribution Jump size distribution conditional upon the occurence of a jump. 

 

The Bates model assumes b is constant, while the Scott model assumes it is a linear combination of Vt and an additional state variable that follows an independent square-root process. 

 

Bates examines FX options, for which b is the domestic/foreign interest differential, while Scott examines nondividend paying stock options for which b is the cost of carry and equal to the risk-free IR.

2. Bates extension to stochastic-intensity jump processes 

3. Models in which the underlying volatility can also jump

4. Multifactor specifications.

The NEW website is OUT! 

Go have a look at https://www.derivativesacademy.com.

You will find the content in the 'Derivatives Academy' section in a book format. 
The full content is not yet available as I am rewriting it and improving it.

You can try the Exotic Derivatives pricer under the 'Derivatives Pricer' section (
https://www.derivativesacademy.com/derivatives-pricer/). I will speed up the page soon as I forgot to compress some images.
Each application allows you to price differents products and contains links towards the correct section of the book. 
You will then be able to get practical and theoretical knowledge quite easily.

I teach quite often using the pricer. You can get so much information and answers to your questions thanks to it.

Take advantage of it as much as you can to hone your knowledge!
