Option Pricing for the Variance Gamma Model: A New Perspective

Mathematical Finance 2023-06-21 v1

Abstract

The variance gamma model is a widely popular model for option pricing in both academia and industry. In this paper, we provide a new perspective for pricing European style options for the variance gamma model by deriving closed-form formulas combining the randomization method and fractional derivatives. We also compare our results with various existing results in the literature by numerical examples.
