摘要
En 中文
The GARCH diffusion model has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, as it is able to describe financial time series better, when comparing to many other models. This paper considers the problem of warrant pricing when the underlying asset follows the GARCH diffusion model. An analytical approximate solution for European option prices is derived by means of Fourier transform. The approximate solution can be quickly computed by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. Monte Carlo simulations show that this approximate solution is correct and the FFT is accurate and efficient, and hence it enables us to investigate the volatility smile implied by the GARCH diffusion model. Then a method is developed to provide the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the GARCH diffusion model based on the efficient importance sampling (EIS) procedure. Furthermore, the empirical performance of the GARCH diffusion model applied to the valuation of Hang Seng Index (HSI) warrants traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) is investigated. Empirical results show that the GARCH diffusion model outperforms the Black-Scholes (B-S) model in terms of the pricing accuracy, indicating that the pricing model incorporated with stochastic volatility can improve the pricing of warrants.
