Abstract
We consider a non-Gaussian option pricing model, into which the underlying log-price is assumed to be driven by an -stable distribution. We remove the a priori divergence of the model by introducing a Mellin regularization for the L\'evy propagator. Using distributional and tools, we derive an analytic closed formula for the option price, valid for any stability and any asymmetry. This formula is very efficient and recovers previous cases (Black-Scholes, Carr-Wu); we calibrate the formula on market datas, make numerical tests, and discuss its many interesting properties.
