Description
nag_specfun_opt_jumpdiff_merton_greeks (s30jb) 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,
Here is the instantaneous expected return on the asset price, ; is the instantaneous variance of the return when the Poisson event does not occur; is a standard Brownian motion; is the independent Poisson process and where is the random variable change in the stock price if the Poisson event occurs and is the expectation operator over the random variable .
This leads to the following price for a European option (see
Haug (2007))
where
is the time to expiry;
is the strike price;
is the annual risk-free interest rate;
is the Black–Scholes–Merton option pricing formula for a European call (see
nag_specfun_opt_bsm_price (s30aa)).
where
is the total volatility including jumps;
is the expected number of jumps given as an average per year;
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 .
The option price is computed for each strike price in a set , , and for each expiry time in a set , .

Accuracy
The accuracy of the output is dependent on the accuracy of the cumulative Normal distribution function,
, occurring in
. 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
nag_specfun_cdf_normal (s15ab) and
nag_specfun_erfc_real (s15ad)). An accuracy close to
machine precision can generally be expected.
Further Comments
None.
Example
This example computes the price of two European calls with jumps. The time to expiry is months, the stock price is and strike prices are and respectively. The number of jumps per year is and the percentage of the total volatility due to jumps is . The risk-free interest rate is per year while the total volatility is per year.
