Merton76 Model
Calculate vanilla European option prices and sensitivities
using Merton76 model
The Merton76 model combines a continuous diffusion process, as in the Black-Scholes model, with a jump process. This allows the asset price to experience sudden jumps, capturing the real-world phenomena of market shocks or news events. Price and analyze vanilla option instruments using a Merton76 model with the following functions:
