This study presents a set of closed-form exact solutions for pricing discretely sampled variance swaps and volatility swaps, based on the Heston stochastic volatility model with regime switching. In comparison with all the previous studies in the literature, this research, which obtains...

This paper consists of two parts, a theoretical followed by an empirical contribution. We first give a new framework for fractional differencing in discrete time and show how the definition of fractional differencing that is commonly employed in empirical financial applications arises as a...
