Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider the equilibrium valuation of currency options with stochastic volatility and systemic co-jumps under the setting of Lucas-type two country economy. Based on the stochastic volatility model in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>], we add an independent jump process and a co-jump process to model the money supply in each country. By solving a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) for currency options, we can get a closed-form solution for a call currency option price. Compared with the option prices calculated by Monte Carlo method, we show the derived option pricing formula is efficient for practical use. The numerical results show that stochastic volatility and co-jumps have significant impacts on option prices and implied volatilities.</p>
