The Study on the Presence of Volatility Smile in NSE Indices


 

If James Taylor had been an options trader, he might well have not written that second line. Options "smile" at traders, but that smile is not a source of happiness. It is in fact a source of considerable confusion and misunderstanding. In this paper, we explore how this confusion manifests in the pattern of different implied volatilities for different options on the same stock, a pattern commonly known as the volatility smile.

Abstract


If James Taylor had been an options trader, he might well have not written that second line. Options "smile" at traders, but that smile is not a source of happiness. It is in fact a source of considerable confusion and misunderstanding. In this paper, we explore how this confusion manifests in the pattern of different implied volatilities for different options on the same stock, a pattern commonly known as the volatility smile.
