Using Partial Differential Equations for Pricing of Goods and Services

TL;DR: In this paper, the numerical solution of partial differential equations, based on Black-Scholes model for pricing of goods and services within European option, is presented, and the formulation and numerical behavior of explicit and implicit methods that can be used in pricing for company assets in European option.

Price Discontinuities in the Market for RINs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the potential presence of jumps, as well as time varying volatility in the spot price for RINs, and demonstrate that allowing for jumps and time-varying volatility provides statistically important improvements in the modeling of prices, relative to GBM.

The hunt variance gamma process with applications to option pricing

TL;DR: In this article, the Hunt variance gamma process (VGPM) is used to model the risk-neutral distribution of future stock prices, and a continuous-time Markov chain approximation is found to fit the S&P 500 futures option surface.
