This paper describes a method for computing risk-neutral density functions based on the option-implied volatility smile. Its aim is to reduce complexity and provide cookbook-style guidance through the estimation process. The technique is robust and avoids violations of option no-arbitrage restrictions that can lead to negative probabilities and other implausible results. I give examples for equities, foreign exchange, and long-term interest rates.

This paper describes a method of extracting the risk-neutral probability distribution of future exchange rates from option prices. In foreign exchange markets interbank option pricing conventions make possible reliable inferences about risk-neutral probability distributions with relatively little data. Moments drawn from risk-neutral exchange rate distribution are used to explore several issues related to the puzzle of excess returns in currency markets. Tests of the international capital asset pricing model using risk-neutral moments as explanatory variables indicate that option-based moments have considerably greater explanatory power for excess returns in currency markets than has been found in earlier work. Tests of several hypotheses generated by the peso problem approach indicate that jump risk measured by the risk-neutral coefficient of skewness can explain only a small part of the forward bias. These tests take into account not only the second, but the third and fourth moments of the exchange rate implied by option prices, and avoid testing a joint hypothesis including a distributional assumption.

This paper derives exact formulas for retrieving risk neutral moments of future payoffs of any order from generic European-style option prices. It also provides an exact formula for retrieving the expected quadratic variation of the stock market implied by European option prices, which nowadays is used as an estimate of the implied volatility, and a formula approximating the jump component of this measure of variation. To implement the above formulas to discrete sets of option prices, the paper suggests a numerical procedure and provides upper bounds of its approximation errors. The performance of this procedure is evaluated through a simulation and an empirical exercise. Both of these exercises clearly indicate that the suggested numerical procedure can provide accurate estimates of the risk neutral moments, over different horizons ahead. These can be in turn employed to obtain accurate estimates of risk neutral densities and calculate option prices, efficiently, in a model-free manner. The paper also shows that, in contrast to the prevailing view, ignoring the jump component of the underlying asset can lead to seriously biased estimates of the new volatility index suggested by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

A strand of research documents Chile’s copper dependence hence significant exposure to terms of trade shocks. Copper prices’ sharp decline and forecast uncertainty since the end of the commodity super-cycle has rekindled the debate on Chile’s adjustment capacity to external shocks. Following Malz (2014), this paper builds a time-varying measure of copper price uncertainty using options contracts. VAR analysis shows that the investment response to an uncertainty shock of average magnitude in the sample is strong and persistent: the cumulative fall in investment from trend at a one-year horizon ranges 2–5.8 percentage points; and it takes between 11⁄2 and 2 years for investment to return to its trend level. Empirical ranges depend on alternative definitions for investment, uncertainty, and options’ maturing time.

Abstract: This dissertation develops two new parametric and nonparametric methods for estimating risk-neutral measures (RNM) which embody important information about market participants' sentiments concerning prices of the underlying asset in the future, and investigates empirical performance of parametric RNM estimation methods. The first essay, "Estimation of Risk Neutral Measures using the Generalized Two-Factor Log-Stable Option Pricing Model", constructs a simple representative agent model to provide a theoretical framework for the log-stable option pricing model and then implements a new parametric method for estimating the RNM using a generalized two-factor log-stable option pricing model. Under the generalized two-factor log-stable uncertainty assumption, the RNM for the log of price is a convolution of two exponentially tilted stable distributions. The generalized two-factor log-stable RNM provides a sufficiently accurate tool for estimating the RNM from observed option prices even if the log-stable assumption might not be satisfied. I estimate the RNM using the S & P 500 index options and find that the generalized two-factor log-stable model gives better performance than alternative models in fitting the observed option prices. The second essay, "Parametric Risk Neutral Measure Estimation Methods: A Horse Race", implements 12 parametric RNM estimation methods by means of the closed-form or characteristic function of RNM distributions and then compares the empirical performance under three criteria - -the root mean squared error (RMSE), likelihood ratio (LR), and the root mean integrated squared error (RMISE). The empirical results show that the generalized two-factor log-stable model outperforms other alternative parametric RNM estimation methods. The third essay, "Nonparametric Estimation of Risk-Neutral Measures using Quartic B-Spline CDFs with Power Tails", proposes a new nonparametric (BSP) method. I model a RNM cumulative distribution function (CDF) using quartic B-splines with power tails so that the resulting RNM probability density function (PDF) has continuity C2 and arbitrage-free properties. Since the number of knots is selected optimally in constructing the quartic B-spline RNM CDF, my method avoids both overfitting and oversmoothing. To improve computational efficiency and accuracy I introduce a 3-step RNM estimation procedure that transforms a nonlinear optimization problem into a convex quadratic program, which is efficiently solved by numerical optimization software.

In this partial and selective literature review of option implied risk-neutral distributions and of implied binomial trees, we start by observing that in efficient markets, there is information contained in option prices, which might help us to design option pricing models. To this end, we review the numerous methods of recovering risk-neutral probability distributions from option prices at one particular time-to-expiration and their applications. Next, we extend our attention beyond one time-to-expiration to the construction of implied binomial trees, which model the stochastic process of the underlying asset. Finally, we describe extensions of implied binomial trees, which incorporate stochastic volatility, as well as other non-parametric methods.
