Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to study sensitivity analysis, with respect to the parameters of the model, in the framework of time-inhomogeneous Lévy process. This is a slight generalization of recent results of Fournié et al. (Finance Stochast 3(4):391–412, 1999 [9]), El-Khatib and Privault (Finance Stochast 8(2):161–179, 2004 [7]), Bally et al. (Ann Appl Probab 17(1):33–66, 2007 [1]), Davis and Johansson (Stochast Process Appl 116(1):101–129, 2006 [5]), Petrou (Electron J Probab 13(27):852–879, 2008 [12]), Benth et al. (Commun Stochast Anal 5(2):285–307, 2011 [2]) and El-Khatib and Hatemi (J Statist Appl Probab 3(1):171–182, 2012 [8]), using Malliavin calculus developed by Yablonski (Rocky Mountain J Math 38:669–701, 2008 [16]). This relatively recent result will help us to provide tools that are necessary for the calculation of the sensitivities. We provide some simple examples to illustrate the results achieved. In particular, we discussed the time-inhomogeneous versions of the Merton model and the Bates model.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is to ensure that we can find some solutions for the weighting functions, since it often requires to take the inverse of the volatility function.

  2. 2.
