Abstract

We build a methodology for which the heuristic produces relative prices for options, with for sole parameter the tail index, under some mild arbitrage constraints. Usual restrictions such as finiteness of variance are not required. The heuristic allows us to scrutinize the volatility surface and test various theories of relative tail option overpricing (usually built on thin tailed models and minor modifications/fudging of the Black-Scholes formula).
