Revealing the implied risk-neutral MGF from options: The wavelet method

Abstract: Options are believed to contain unique information on the risk-neutral moment generating function (MGF) or the risk-neutral probability density function (PDF) of the underlying asset. This paper applies the wavelet method to approximate the implied risk-neutral MGF from option prices.Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to show how the risk-neutral MGF can be obtained using the wavelet method. With the Black-Scholes model as the benchmark, we offer a novel method to reveal the implied MGF, and to price in-s… Show more

“…The following are some of the applications of wavelet method in finance and economics as pointed out in [6] and [7]; Wavelets can be used in multi-scaling analysis. For example, analyzed the relationship between economic variables at different scale by using the wavelet method and they found out that over a different time horizon, the relationship changes [8].…”

“…Although the application of wave functions, when not sourced from quantum mechanics, have also found uses in social science, especially economics (see for example, Haven et al, 2009), our paper thus looks at wave functions as formalized via Fourier transforms and integrals which are intimately intertwined with the existence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It is now our intention to introduce the 'wave number -density function'device which forms the cornerstone of basic quantum mechanics, in the context of arbitrage.…”

“…An increasing number of papers have recently appeared to invert Fourier transforms with wavelets, like [8] and [9] with coiflets wavelets and [10] with Mexican, Morlet, Poisson and Battle-Lemarié wavelets. In particular in the Financial Engineering context, [11] inverts a Laplace transform by means of B-splines wavelets of order 1.…”
