    Abstract

    In this paper we show how to calculate European-style option prices when the log-stock price process follows a L´evy-Stable process with index parameter 1 ≤ α ≤ 2 and skewness parameter −1 ≤ β ≤ 1. Key to our result is to model integrated variance RT t σ2 sds as an increasing L´evy-Stable process with continuous paths.
