Abstract

This work investigates the valuation of options when the underlying asset follows a mean-reverting log-normal process with a stochastic volatility that is driven by two stochastic processes with one persistent factor and one fast mean-reverting factor. Semi-analytical pricing formulas for European options are derived by means of multiscale asymptotic techniques. Numerical examples demonstrate the use of the model and the quality of the numerical scheme. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
