scholarly journals Pricing energy contracts under regime switching time-changed Levy Processes

Author(s):

The failures of the popular Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model led to an interest in new, robust models which could more accurately model the behavior of historical prices. We consider one such model, the regime switching time-changed Levy process, which builds upon the BSM model by incorporating jumps through a random clock, as well as randomly varying parameters according to a continuous-time Markov chain. We develop the characteristic function as well as two methods for pricing European call options. Finally, we estimate the parameters of the model by incorporating historic energy data and option quotes using a variety of methods.

This paper addresses the problem of finding the optimal portfolio and consumption of a small agent in an economy. The novelty of this work is in considering that the financial market, in contrast to the celebrated Black-Scholes model, is composed of two sources of uncertainties: a Brownian motion and a continuous time Markov chain. While the Brownian motion intends to model the normal oscillations of the asset prices, the continuous time Markov chain aims at taking into account the abrupt variations that can occur in the parameters of the asset dynamics due to changes that take place in the state of the economy. The problem is formulated in terms of classical optimal stochastic control and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is solved to yield the solution.
