Heston Model Option Price Formula


What is the formula for the vanilla option (Call/Put) price in the Heston model?


I only found the bi-variate system of stochastic differential equations of Heston model but no expression for the option prices.



Answer



In the Heston Model we have C(t,St,vt,K,T)=StP1KerτP2

where, for j=1,2


Pj(xt,vt;xT,lnK)=12+1π0Re(eiϕlnKfj(ϕ;t,x,v)iϕ)dϕfj(ϕ;vt,xt)=exp[Cj(τ,ϕ)+Dj(τ,ϕ)vt+iϕxt]



and


Cj(τ,ϕ)=(rq)iϕτ+aσ2((bjρσiϕ+dj)τ2ln1gjedjτ1gj)Dj(τ,ϕ)=bjρσiϕ+djσ2(1edjτ1gjedjτ)


where gj=bjρσiϕ+djbjρσiϕdjdj=(bjρσiϕ)2σ2(2iujϕϕ2)u1=12,u2=12,a=κθ,b1=κ+λρσ,b2=κ+λ, i2=1
