This comprehensive guide offers traders, quants, and students
the tools and techniques for using advanced models for pricing
options. The accompanying website includes data files, such as
options prices, stock prices, or index prices, as well as all of
the codes needed to use the option and volatility models described
in the book.
Praise for Option Pricing Models & Volatility Using
Excel-VBA
‘Excel is already a great pedagogical tool for teaching option
valuation and risk management. But the VBA routines in this book
elevate Excel to an industrial-strength financial engineering
toolbox. I have no doubt that it will become hugely successful as a
reference for option traders and risk managers.’
–Peter Christoffersen, Associate Professor of Finance,
Desautels Faculty of Management, Mc Gill University
‘This book is filled with methodology and techniques on how to
implement option pricing and volatility models in VBA. The book
takes an in-depth look into how to implement the Heston and Heston
and Nandi models and includes an entire chapter on parameter
estimation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone
interested in derivatives should have this book in their personal
library.’
–Espen Gaarder Haug, option trader, philosopher, and
author of Derivatives Models on Models
‘I am impressed. This is an important book because it is the
first book to cover the modern generation of option models,
including stochastic volatility and GARCH.’
–Steven L. Heston, Assistant Professor of Finance,
R.H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland
