Abstract
Uncertainty and vagueness play a central role in nan- cial models and fuzzy numbers can be a protable way to manage them. In this paper we generalize the Black and Scholes option valuation model (with constant volatility) to the framework of a volatility supposed to vary in a stochas- tic way. The models we take under consideration belongs to the main classes of stochastic volatility models: the endoge- nous and the exogenous source of risk. Fuzzy calculus for nancial applications requires massive computations and when a good parametric representation for fuzzy numbers is adopted, then the arithmetic operations and fuzzy calcu- lus can be efciently managed. Good in this context means that the shape of the resulting fuzzy numbers can be observed and studied in order to state fundamental properties of the model.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
