GARCH pricing and hedging of VIX options
首次在GARCH模型下用蒙特卡洛方法对VIX期权进行实时定价和对冲，提出单期权对冲误差指标，并将计算速度提升超千倍，实证表现优于基准模型。
Abstract We are the first to study the pricing and hedging of VIX options via Monte Carlo (MC) under GARCH(1,1) and Glosten–Jagannathan–Runkle GARCH(1,1) models. Our pricing is ab initio and out‐of‐sample and can be implemented in real time. Importantly, we propose the so‐called single‐option hedge error, a better measure than that of Bakshi et al., and suggest several techniques to expedite MC by over 1000 times, which rivals the potential speedup of quantum computers. Empirically, our proposed approach outperforms two types of benchmarks; further, the asymmetric Glosten–Jagannathan–Runkle outperforms the symmetric GARCH. Overall, our paper has both theoretical and practical implications.
