Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the valuation of European-style call options under an extended two-factor Markov-modulated stochastic volatility model, where the first stochastic volatility component is driven by a mean-reversion square-root process and the second stochastic volatility component is modulated by a continuous-time, finite-state Markov chain. The inverse Fourier transform is adopted to obtain analytical pricing formulae. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the discretization of the pricing formulae and the implementation of our model.
