Capturing the volatility smile of options on high-tech stocks—A combined GARCH-neural network approach

Abstract

A slight modification of the standard GARCH equation results in a good modeling of historical volatility. Using this generated GARCH volatility together with the inputs: spot price divided by strike, time to maturity, and interest rate, a generated Neural Network results in significantly better pricing performance than the Black Scholes model. A single Neural Network for each individual high-tech stock is able to adapt to the market inherent volatility distortion. A single Network for all tested high-tech stocks also results in significantly better pricing performance than the Black-Scholes model. Copyright Academy of Economics and Finance 2001
