摘要
We consider sequential auctions wherein seller and bidder agents need to price goods on sale at the‘right’market price.We propose algorithms based on a binomial model for both the seller and buyer.Then,we consider the problem of calibrating pricing models to market data.To this end,we studied a stochastic volatility model used for option pricing,derived,and analyzed Monte Carlo estimators for computing the gradient of a certain payoff function using Finite Differencing and Algorithmic Differentiation.We then assessed the accuracy and efficiency of both methods as well as their impacts into the optimization algorithm.Numerical results are presented and discussed.This work can benefit those engaged in electronic trading or investors in financial products with the need for fast and more precise predictions of future market data.
