The paper investigates the pricing of derivative securities with calendar-time maturities.

In this paper, we characterize the asymmetric of the smile through multiple leverage effects in a stochastic dynamic asset pricing framework.

This assesses the empirical performance of an intertemporal option pricing model with latent variables with generalized the Hull-White stochastic volatility formula.

This paper studies a dynamic-optimizing model of a semi-small open economy with sticky nominal prices and wages. The model exhibits exchange rate overshooting in response to money supply shocks. The predicted variability of nominal and real exchange rates is roughly consistent with that of G7...

Understanding the dynamics of interest rates and the term structure has important implications for issues as diverse as real economic activity, monetary policy, pricing of interest rate derivative securities and public debt financing. Our paper follows a longstanding tradition of using factor...

This paper prepared for the Handbook of Statistics (Vol.14: "Statistical Methods in Finance"), surveys the subject of stochastic volatility. The following subjects are covered: volatility in financial markets (instantaneous volatility of asset returns, implied volatilities in option prices and...
