Heston Model Validation

This project delves into the complexities of the Heston model: exploring its dynamic volatility assumption, as a stochastic process that reflects real-world scenarios; in contrast to the Black-Scholes-Merton model, which relies on constant volatility. The results highlight the Heston model's accuracy in pricing European call options, despite its computational complexity, especially for longer-term options with more stable volatility.
