Abstract
This paper presents an extension of the double Heston stochastic volatility model by combining Hull-White stochastic interest rates. By the change of numeraire and quadratic exponential scheme, this paper develops a new simulation scheme for the extended model. By combining control variates and antithetic variates, this paper provides an efficient Monte Carlo simulation algorithm for pricing barrier options. Based on the differential evolution algorithm the extended model is calibrated to S&P 500 index options to obtain the model parameter values. Numerical results show that the proposed simulation scheme outperforms the Euler scheme, the proposed simulation algorithm is efficient for pricing barrier options, and the extended model is flexible to fit the implied volatility surface.
