Application of a stochastic volatility model to options on exchange rate

CNR-IMATI Technical Report 2004 - MI/10.

We consider the stochastic volatility model proposed by Moretto, Pasquali and Trivellato (2004) (MPT for short) and make a numerical analysis of various aspects of this model such as sensitivity to different parameters and the effects on option prices. This analysis highlights that the model is sufficiently general and can cover a wide range of cases.  Another foundamental aspect, here discussed, is the calibration of the model, in fact it is important to know the parameter values which give a good approximation of option market prices.
