About this journal
The Journal of Computational Finance is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the area of financial mathematics. The journal is focused on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk, and provides detailed insight into numerical and computational techniques in the pricing, hedging and risk management of financial instruments.
The journal welcomes papers dealing with innovative computational techniques in the following areas:
- Numerical solutions of pricing equations: finite differences, finite elements, and spectral techniques in one and multiple dimensions.
- Simulation approaches in pricing and risk management: advances in Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methodologies; new strategies for market factors simulation.
- Optimization techniques in hedging and risk management.
- Fundamental numerical analysis relevant to finance: effect of boundary treatments on accuracy; new discretization of time-series analysis.
- Developments in free-boundary problems in finance: alternative ways and numerical implications in American option pricing.

Numerical techniques for the Heston collocated volatility model
In this paper, we discuss all aspects of derivative pricing under the Heston–CLV model: calibration with an efficient Fourier method; a Monte Carlo simulation with second-order convergence; and accurate partial differential equation pricing through…
Introducing two mixing fractions to a lognormal local-stochastic volatility model
In this paper, we introduce two mixing fractions that can be controlled separately to apply impact to the volatility-of-volatility and the correlation in a lognormal LSV model.
A Libor market model including credit risk under the real-world measure
The authors present a methodology to generate future scenarios of interest rates for different credit ratings under a real-world probability measure. More precisely, they explain how to perform simulations of the real-world forward rates for different…
Finding the nearest covariance matrix: the foreign exchange market case
The authors consider the problem of finding a valid covariance matrix in the foreign exchange market given an initial nonpositively semidefinite (non-PSD) estimate of such a matrix.
Pricing multiple barrier derivatives under stochastic volatility
This work generalizes existing one- and two-dimensional pricing formulas with an equal number of barriers to a setting of n dimensions and up to two barriers in the presence of stochastic volatility.
Pricing path-dependent Bermudan options using Wiener chaos expansion: an embarrassingly parallel approach
In this work, the authors propose a new policy iteration algorithm for pricing Bermudan options when the payoff process cannot be written as a function of a lifted Markov process.
On extensions of the Barone-Adesi and Whaley method to price American-type options
This paper provides an efficient and accurate hybrid method to price American standard options in certain jump-diffusion models and American barrier-type options under the Black–Scholes framework.
Neural networks for option pricing and hedging: a literature review
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the field of neural networks, comparing articles in terms of input features, output variables, benchmark models, performance measures, data partition methods and underlying assets. Related work and…
Dynamic refinement of the term structure: time-homogeneous term structure modeling
The author considers a classical term structure model framework, ie, a Heath–Jarrow–Morton framework, on a time-discrete tenor, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate market model, using a sequence of tenor discretizations, where the tenors are valid…
Gaussian process regression for derivative portfolio modeling and application to credit valuation adjustment computations
The authors present a multi-Gaussian process regression approach, which is well suited for the over-the-counter derivative portfolio valuation involved in credit valuation adjustment (CVA) computation.
High-order approximations to call option prices in the Heston model
In the present paper, a decomposition formula for the call price due to Alòs is transformed into a Taylor-type formula containing an infinite series with stochastic terms. The new decomposition may be considered as an alternative to the decomposition of…
Numerical simulation and applications of the convection–diffusion–reaction
This paper develops two local mesh-free methods for designing stencil weights and spatial discretization, respectively, for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) of convection–diffusion–reaction type.
Monte Carlo pathwise sensitivities for barrier options
In this work, we present a new Monte Carlo algorithm that is able to calculate the pathwise sensitivities for discontinuous payoff functions.
Option pricing in exponential Lévy models with transaction costs
We present an approach for pricing European call options in the presence of proportional transaction costs, when the stock price follows a general exponential Lévy process.
An adaptive Monte Carlo approach
This paper proposes a new, flexible framework using Monte Carlo methods to price Parisian options not only with constant boundaries but also with general curved boundaries.
Second-order Monte Carlo sensitivities
This paper considers the problem of efficiently computing the full matrix of second-order sensitivities of a Monte Carlo price when the number of inputs is large.
Extremal risk management: ES value verification
In this paper, we refer to the axiomatic theory of risk and investigate the problem of formal verification of the expected shortfall (ES) model based on a sample ES. Recognizing the infeasibility of parametric methods, they explore the bootstrap…
A shrinking horizon optimal liquidation framework with lower partial moments criteria
In this paper, a novel quasi-multiperiod model for optimal position liquidation in the presence of both temporary and permanent market impact is proposed. Two main features distinguish the proposed approach from its alternatives.
Pricing American call options using the Black–Scholes equation with a nonlinear volatility function
In this paper, the authors investigate a nonlinear generalization of the Black–Scholes equation for pricing American-style call options, where the volatility term may depend on both the underlying asset price and the Gamma of the option.
The Chebyshev method for the implied volatility
In this paper, the authors propose a bivariate interpolation of the implied volatility surface based on Chebyshev polynomials. This yields a closed-form approximation of the implied volatility, which is easy to implement and to maintain.
