讲座简介

Abstract: In this paper, we propose and implement a methodology for explicitly disentangling the classical and long-standing empirical puzzle that which stochastic volatility model best fits the implied volatility data, instead of resorting to standard econometric procedures. As an illustrative example, S&P 500 index's implied volatility surface is investigated through two tasks. First, by exploring and setting some representative stylized facts on the implied volatility surface as criterion, we conduct comparative and empirical analysis on dissecting prevalent stochastic volatility models and consequently pinpointing their advantages and disadvantages. Second, rather than exhaustively assessing more possible models by exploring more stylized facts, as an alternative resort, we ultimately construct novel data-driven implied stochastic volatility models directly based on observed market shape characteristics of the implied volatility surface. To accomplish these two tasks, we develop an indispensable tool -- a closed-form bivariate-expansion approximation of shape characteristics of implied volatility surface under general stochastic volatility models, which provides crucial convenience and flexibility in revealing the explicit relations between stochastic and implied volatilities, as demonstrated by an example on examining impact of different model parameters on the shape of the implied volatility surface.
