In this paper, the pricing problems of variance swaps with discrete sampling times are studied, where the volatility of underlying assets follows a mean-reverting Gaussian (MRG in short) process, and the instantaneous interest rate is described by classical Vasicek model. By using measure transformation, Feynman-Kac formula and Fourier transform algorithm, a closedform analytic pricing formula for variance swaps with the actual-return realized variance is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
