Since Vix options started trading in 2006, many researchers have tried to build a model that jointly and exactly calibrates to the prices of Standard & Poor’s 500 options, Vix futures and Vix options. In this article, Julien Guyon solves this long-standing puzzle by casting it as a discrete-time dispersion-constrained martingale transport problem, which he solves in a non-parametric way using Sinkhorn’s algorithm
Volatility indexes, such as the Vix index, do not just
