摘要

Empirical evidence suggests that asset prices exhibit mean reversion, stochastic volatility, and jumps; however, most option-pricing studies focus on tractable affine models. This paper develops a pricing framework for a more flexible non-affine model that combines mean reversion with stochastic volatility and jumps. Since the governing partial integro-differential equation does not have a closed-form solution, we propose an efficient, high-order Chebyshev pseudospectral scheme. The method accurately prices both European and American options, as verified against Monte Carlo benchmarks. A key advantage is that it computes the early-exercise boundary for American options directly, allowing for an analysis of how this boundary varies with the underlying price and volatility as maturity approaches.
