Option Pricing Under Stochastic Volatility with Incomplete Information: Wilmott Magazine Article
Mondher Bellalah & Sana Mahfoudh Besbes 2025 Views

Options are analyzed and valued in the context of Merton's (1987) "Simple Model of Capital Market Equilibrium with Incomplete Information". We show now the derivation of the partial differential equation for options in the presence of shadow qcosts of incomplete information and stochastic volatility. We illustrate our approach by specific applications and show the dependancy of the option price on information and stochastic volatility. Then, we introduce information costs in a general diffusion model for asset prices which allows the description of stochastic volatility in an incomplete market. As in Norbert, Platen and Schweizer (1992), we show that the investor's choice of the minimal equivalent martingale measure is not changing, but the process of the price of the asset depends on incomplete information.
