3  Description

S30JBF uses Merton's jump-diffusion model (Merton (1976)) to compute the price of a European option, together with the Greeks or sensitivities, which are the partial derivatives of the option price with respect to certain of the other input parameters. Merton's model assumes that the asset price is described by a Brownian motion with drift, as in the Black–Scholes–Merton case, together with a compound Poisson process to model the jumps. The corresponding stochastic differential equation is,
dS S = α-λk dt + σ^ dWt + dqt .  
Here α is the instantaneous expected return on the asset price, S; σ^2 is the instantaneous variance of the return when the Poisson event does not occur; dWt is a standard Brownian motion; qt is the independent Poisson process and k=EY-1 where Y-1 is the random variable change in the stock price if the Poisson event occurs and E is the expectation operator over the random variable Y.
This leads to the following price for a European option (see Haug (2007))
Pcall = j=0 e-λT λTj j! Cj S, X, T, r, σj ,  
where T is the time to expiry; X is the strike price; r is the annual risk-free interest rate; CjS,X,T,r,σj is the Black–Scholes–Merton option pricing formula for a European call (see S30AAF).
σj = z2 + δ2 j T , z2 = σ2 - λ δ2 , δ2 = γ σ2 λ ,  
where σ is the total volatility including jumps; λ is the expected number of jumps given as an average per year; γ is the proportion of the total volatility due to jumps.
The value of a put is obtained by substituting the Black–Scholes–Merton put price for Cj S, X, T, r, σj .
The option price Pij=PX=Xi,T=Tj is computed for each strike price in a set Xi, i=1,2,,m, and for each expiry time in a set Tj, j=1,2,,n.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1​ or ​1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1​ or ​1 is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: IFAIL=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

7  Accuracy

The accuracy of the output is dependent on the accuracy of the cumulative Normal distribution function, Φ, occurring in Cj. This is evaluated using a rational Chebyshev expansion, chosen so that the maximum relative error in the expansion is of the order of the machine precision (see S15ABF and S15ADF). An accuracy close to machine precision can generally be expected.

8  Parallelism and Performance

S30JBF is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
