英文摘要:
We investigate methods for pricing American options under the variance gamma model. The variance gamma process is a pure jump process which is constructed by replacing the calendar time by the gamma time in a Brownian motion with drift, which makes it a time-changed Brownian motion. In general, the finite difference method and the simulation method can be used for pricing under this model, but their speed is not satisfactory. So there is a need for fast but accurate approximation methods. In the case of Black-Merton-Scholes model, there are fast approximation methods, but they cannot be utilized for the variance gamma model. We develop a new fast method inspired by the quadratic approximation method, while reducing the error by making use of a machine learning technique on pre-calculated quantities. We compare the performance of our proposed method with those of the existing methods and show that this method is efficient and accurate for practical use.

中文摘要:
我们研究了方差伽马模型下美式期权的定价方法。方差gamma过程是一个纯跳跃过程,它是在带有漂移的布朗运动中用gamma时间代替日历时间构造的,这使得它成为一个时变的布朗运动。一般来说,有限差分法和模拟法可以用于该模型下的定价,但其速度并不令人满意。因此,需要快速但准确的近似方法。对于Black Merton-Scholes模型,有快速近似方法,但它们不能用于方差gamma模型。受二次近似法的启发,我们开发了一种新的快速方法,同时通过对预先计算的量使用
机器学习技术来减少误差。我们将所提出的方法与现有方法的性能进行了比较,结果表明该方法在实际应用中是有效和准确的。
