- Abstract
Empirical evidence suggests that single factor models would not capture the full dynamics of stochastic volatility such that a marked discrepancy between their predicted prices and market prices exists for certain ranges (deep in-the-money and out-of-the-money) of time-to-maturities of options. On the other hand, there is an empirical reason to believe that volatility skew fluctuates randomly. Based upon the idea of combining stochastic volatility and stochastic skew, this paper incorporates stochastic elasticity of variance running on a fast timescale into the Heston stochastic volatility model. This multiscale and multifactor hybrid model keeps analytic tractability of the Heston model as much as possible, while it enhances capturing the complex nature of volatility and skew dynamics. Asymptotic analysis based on ergodic theory yields a closed form analytic formula for the approximate price of European vanilla options. Subsequently, the effect of adding the stochastic elasticity factor on top of the Heston model is demonstrated in terms of implied volatility surface. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
