The purpose of this paper is to propose a new class of jump diffusions which feature both stochastic volatility and …-normal jumps or constant jump intensity combined with a one factor stochastic volatility model. We introduce several … intensity jump processes which feature correlation between the stochastic volatility and jump component. We also allow for and …

One fundamental issue in the study of market microstructures is that of price discovery. While most existing studies focus on the trading period, little is known whether and how much the non-trading period contributes to the price discovery. This paper offers a new perspective on the price...

In this paper, we survey some of the recent nonparametric estimation methods which were developed to price derivative contracts. We focus on equity options and start with a so-called model-free approach which incolves very little financial theory. Next we discuss nonparametric and...

This paper examines the valuation of European- and American-style volatility options based on a general equilibrium … stochastic volatility framework. Properties of the optimal exercise region and of the option price are provided when volatility … the MRLP (mean-reverting in the log) volatility model which has received considerable empirical support. In this context …

In this paper we provide lower and upper bounds on the prices of American call and put options written on a dividend paying asset. Based on the bounds, we provide two option price approximations. Our second approximation, which uses both lower and upper bound information, has an average accuracy...
