The authors continue a series of articles where prices of the barrier options written on the underlying, whose dynamics follow a one-factor stochastic model with time-dependent coefficients and the barrier, are obtained in semi-closed form; see Carr and Itkin (2020) and Itkin and Muravey (2020). This article extends this methodology to the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model for zero-coupon bonds and to the constant elasticity of variance model for stocks, which are used as the corresponding underlying… Expand

A jump to default extended CEV model: an application of Bessel processes
• Economics, Computer Science
• Finance Stochastics
• 2006
A flexible and analytically tractable framework which unifies the valuation of corporate liabilities, credit derivatives, and equity derivatives is developed, and it is shown that deterministic changes of time and scale reduce the stock price process to a standard Bessel process with killing.

Pricing and Hedging Path-Dependent Options Under the CEV Process
• Economics, Computer Science
• Manag. Sci.
• 2001
It is demonstrated that the prices of options, which depend on extrema, can be much more sensitive to the specification of the underlying price process than standard call and put options and show that a financial institution that uses the standard geometric Brownian motion assumption is exposed to significant pricing and hedging errors when dealing in path-dependent options.
