Abstract: Fractional Brownian motion has become a standard tool to address long-range dependence in financial time series. However, a constant memory parameter is too restrictive to address different market conditions. Here we model the price fluctuations using a multifractional Brownian motion assuming that the Hurst exponent is a time-deterministic function. Through the multifractional Ito calculus, both the related transition density function and the analytical European Call option pricing formula are obtained. The empirical performance of the multifractional Black-Scholes model is tested by calibration of option market quotes for the SPX index and offers best fit than its counterparts based on standard and fractional Brownian motions.
