greeks - Sensitivities of Prices of Financial Options and Implied
Volatilities
Methods to calculate sensitivities of financial option
prices for European, geometric and arithmetic Asian, and
American options, with various payoff functions in the Black
Scholes model, and in more general jump diffusion models. A
shiny app to interactively plot the results is included.
Furthermore, methods to compute implied volatilities are
provided for a wide range of option types and custom payoff
functions. Classical formulas are implemented for European
options in the Black Scholes Model, as is presented in Hull, J.
C. (2017), Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives. In the case
of Asian options, Malliavin Monte Carlo Greeks are implemented,
see Hudde, A. & Rüschendorf, L. (2023). European and Asian
Greeks for exponential Lévy processes.
<doi:10.1007/s11009-023-10014-5>. For American options, the
Binomial Tree Method is implemented, as is presented in Hull,
J. C. (2017).
