Abstract

We consider a local volatility model, with volatility taking two possible values, depending on the value of the underlying with respect to a fixed threshold. When the threshold is taken at the money, we establish exact pricing formulas for European call options and compute short-time asymptotics of the implied volatility surface. We derive an exact formula for the at-the-money implied volatility skew which explodes as \(T^{-1/2}\), reproducing the empirical steep short end of the smile. This behaviour is a consequence of the singularity of the local volatility at the money. Finally, we look at continuous, non-differentiable versions of such a model. We still find, in simulations, exploding implied skews.
