The value of power-related options under spectrally negative L\'evy processes

Pricing of Securities 2021-01-20 v4

Abstract

We provide analytical tools for pricing power options with exotic features (capped or log payoffs, gap options ...) in the framework of exponential L\'evy models driven by one-sided stable or tempered stable processes. Pricing formulas take the form of fast converging series of powers of the log-forward moneyness and of the time-to-maturity; these series are obtained via a factorized integral representation in the Mellin space evaluated by means of residues in C\mathbb{C} or C2\mathbb{C}^2. Comparisons with numerical methods and efficiency tests are also discussed.
